Maria, raised in the Mafia and educated by the gangs of New York, is hunting the man who killed her Akalina, and she will kill anyone who gets in her way.
I've been employed as a registered nurse, a freelance writer, a skydiving instructor, a volunteer firefighter, a shoemaker, and throughout my life a writer of articles, essays, short fiction, memoir, and novels.
I'm a history geek, adventurer, and an avid sailor. My experience aboard HM Bark Endeavour spawned the writing of "Star-Crossed", an historical novel about an orphaned British teenager who stows away on a ship bound for Barbados during the Seven Years War. Star-Crossed was a New York Public Library Books for the Teen Age - 2007, and has been republished for adults as Barbados Bound; Book One of the Patricia MacPherson Nautical Adventure Series. .
