“Adrift: a true story of tragedy in the icy Atlantic and the one who lived to tell about it”
by Brian Murphy
Maritime history is rife with ships that sunk with so few survivors. I enjoyed this well-researched true story of one of the last sailing ships sans steam..
From Amazon/Audible.com:
A story of tragedy at sea, where every desperate act meant life or death.
The small ship making the Liverpool-to-New York trip in the early months of 1856 carried mail, crates of dry goods, and more than 100 passengers, mostly Irish emigrants. Suddenly, an iceberg tore the ship asunder, and five lifeboats were lowered. As four lifeboats drifted into the fog and icy water, never to be heard from again, the last boat wrenched away from the sinking ship with a few blankets, some water and biscuits, and 13 souls. Only one would survive. This is his story.
As they started their nine days adrift more than 400 miles off Newfoundland, the castaways – an Irish couple and their two boys, an English woman and her daughter, newlyweds from Ireland, and several crewmen, including Thomas W. Nye from Fairhaven, Massachusetts – began fighting over food and water. One by one, though, day by day, they died. Some from exposure, others from madness and panic. In the end, only Nye and the ship’s log survived.
Using Nye’s firsthand descriptions and later newspaper accounts, ship’s logs, assorted diaries, and family archives, Brian Murphy chronicles the horrific nine days that 13 people suffered adrift on the cold, gray Atlantic. Adrift brings listeners to the edge of human limits, where every frantic decision and desperate act is a potential life-saver or life-taker.

by James Shapiro
A lengthy read, but quite interesting.

The Free Encyclopedia
James S. Shapiro (born 1955) is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University who specializes in Shakespeare and the Early Modern period. Shapiro has served on the faculty at Columbia University since 1985, teaching Shakespeare and other topics, and he has published widely on Shakespeare and Elizabethan culture.
Life[edit]
Shapiro was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, where he attended Midwood High School. He obtained his B.A. at Columbia University in 1977, Master’s degree in 1978 and Ph.D. at University of Chicago in 1982. After teaching at Dartmouth College and Goucher College, Shapiro joined the faculty at Columbia University in 1985. He taught as a Fulbright lecturer at Bar-Ilan University and Tel Aviv University (1988–1989) and served as the Samuel Wanamaker Fellow at Shakespeare’s Globe in London (1998).
Shapiro has received awards from the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Huntington Library, and the Memorial Foundation for Jewish Culture for his publications and academic activities. He has written for numerous periodicals, including The Chronicle of Higher Education, The New York Times Book Review, the Financial Times, and The Daily Telegraph. In 2006, he was named a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow as well as a Fellow at the Cullman Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library.
Shapiro won the 2006 Samuel Johnson Prize as well as the 2006 Theatre Book Prize for his work 1599: a Year in the Life of William Shakespeare, which Robert Nye described as “powerful” in Literary Review, set apart by Shapiro’s precise and engrossing commentary on the sea-change in Shakespeare’s language during the year 1599.[2][3] He also won the 2011 George Freedley Memorial Award, given by the Theatre Library Association, for his study of the Shakespeare authorship question, Contested Will: Who Wrote Shakespeare?, which has been described as the “definitive treatment” debunking the Oxfordian theory.[4] The same year Shapiro was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. His book, “The Year of Lear: Shakespeare in 1606”, published in hardback in 2015, was awarded the James Tait Black Prize for Biography[5][circular reference] as well as the Sheridan Morley Prize for Theatre Biography.[6] Shapiro presented a three-part series on BBC Four called The King & the Playwright: A Jacobean History about Shakespeare, King James VI and I and the Jacobean era.[7]
In 2023, his 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare won the Baillie Gifford Prize’s “Winner of Winners” award.[8][9]
He is married, has a son, and lives in New York City.[10]

“A simple murder: a Kate Burkholder short story collection” by Linda Castillo
I’ve read several stories featuring Kate Burkholder. I like the wholesomeness of them, if you can say murder is wholesome. The characters are real and their actions have reactions. As for the sequencing of these stories, the first one was out of chronological order, which bothered me. I like things to be linear.
Kathleen McInerney did a good job of narrating these short stories.

Among the many characters introduced in the beginning of this story, I suspect you, as I did, will be able to guess who the murderer is.
I enjoyed the story and look forward to following Lewellen Ferris in Houston’s Mystery series. I wonder if Kathy Kerrigan will continue to read this series as the books are released.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Victoria Houston (b. March 25, 1945) is an American writer. She is the author of the Loon Lake Series, a series of murder mysteries. The mysteries are set in the Northwoods of Wisconsin against a background of fly fishing as well as fishing for muskie, bass, bluegill and walleyes. She has also written or co-authored over seven non-fiction books.
Houston had been formerly married to a man nine years younger than herself, and their union led Houston to interview 40 couples in similar circumstances, resulting in the book Loving a Younger Man: How Women Are Finding and Enjoying a Better Relationship.[1][2][3] Houston lives and works in Rhinelander, Wisconsin.[4]

Kate’s 2¢: “26A” by Diana Evans
“26A” by Diana Evans
This was an interesting and intriguing story that was well crafted. It will mess with your mind
and cause you to think again about the twin-bond.
Gabriella Cavallero is one of my favorite readers.
Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia
Diana Omo Evans FRSL (born 1972)[1] is a British novelist, journalist and critic who was born and lives in London. Evans has written four full-length novels. Her first novel, 26a, published in 2005, won the Orange Award for New Writers,[2] the Betty Trask Award[3] and the deciBel Writer of the Year award.[4] Her third novel Ordinary People was shortlisted for the 2019 Women’s Prize for Fiction[5] and won the 2019 South Bank Sky Arts Award for Literature.[6] A House for Alice was published in 2023.[7]
As well as writing fiction, Evans contributes essays and literary criticism to the national press.[8] She was honoured as a fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2020.[9]
Background and education[edit]
Evans is the daughter of a Nigerian mother and an English father. She was born and grew up in Neasden, north-west London, with her parents and five sisters, one of whom was her twin.[10] She also spent part of her childhood in Lagos, Nigeria.[11]
She completed a media studies degree at the University of Sussex.[11] While in Brighton, she was a dancer[12] in the African dance troupe Mashango.[11]
She completed an MA in creative writing at the University of East Anglia.[11] At the age of 25 she became a journalist. She contributed human-interest features and art criticism to a range of magazines, journals and newspapers in the UK; published interviews with celebrities; worked as an editor for Pride Magazine[13] and the literary journal Calabash.
Writing[edit]
Her first novel, 26a, “a Bildungsroman that centres its storyline on the growing process of a pair of identical twins of Nigerian-British origin, Georgia and Bessi”[14] growing up in Neasden, was published in 2005 to wide critical acclaim and has since been translated into 12 languages.[15] It was shortlisted in the first novel category for both the Whitbread Book Award and the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize, and was the inaugural winner of the Orange Award for New Writers.[16] Literary critic Maya Jaggi said in The Guardian of 26a: “The writing is both mature and freshly perceptive, creating not only a warmly funny novel of a Neasden childhood … but a haunting account of the loss of innocence and mental disintegration.”[17] Carol Birch, writing in The Independent, said of 26a that “Evans writes with tremendous verve and dash. Her ear for dialogue is superb, and she has wit and sharp perception” and though she has her criticisms, concludes that Evans “has produced a consistently readable book filled with likeable characters: a study of loss that has great heart and humour.”[18] According to Diriye Osman in the Huffington Post: “Here was a Bildungsroman of such daring and sustained elegance that it felt like a gorgeous dance of a novel. In many ways, it is apropos that this book which focused on the secret bond that exists between twins was followed in 2009 by the equally masterful The Wonder, a novel rooted in the world of dance.”[19]
Evans’ second novel, The Wonder (2009), explores the world of dancing in the context of Caribbean immigration to the UK, London gentrification, and the bond between father and son.[2][12] Maggie Gee, writing in The Independent, called it “a serious work of art, with sentences like ribbons of silk winding around a skeleton of haunting imagery. … The Wonder’s most central achievement is to explore what art means in human life. … This second novel, both powerful and delicate, lacking in linear plot but rich in the poetry of human observation, proves that Evans has what she calls ‘the watch-me, the grace note’ that marks a true artist.”[20]
Her third novel, Ordinary People (2018), is a portrait of family life for two black couples in their 30s in South London in a year bookended by the election of Barack Obama and the death of Michael Jackson.[13][21][22] Ordinary People was the winner of the South Bank Sky Arts Award and shortlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, the Orwell Prize for Political Fiction and the Rathbones Folio Prize.[6][5][23][24]
Her fourth novel, A House for Alice, was published in 2023,[25][26] charaterised as “the first memorialisation of Grenfell in fiction”.[27]
Also a journalist, Evans has contributed essays and literary criticism to Marie Claire, The Independent, The Observer, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, the Financial Times, Time, The New York Review of Books and Harper’s Bazaar.[11][28][29]
She is an associate lecturer of Creative Writing at Goldsmiths, University of London. She is a patron of the SI Leeds Literary Prize for unpublished fiction by Black and Asian women in the UK.[30] She is also a 2014–16 Royal Literary Fund Fellow at the London College of Fashion and a 2016–17 Royal Literary Fund Fellow at the University of Kent.[16]

“Tomorrow the world: in which Cadet Otto Prohaska carries the Habsburg Empire’s civilizing mission to the entirely unreceptive peoples of Africa and Oceania” by John Biggins
Have you heard of “The Perils of Pauline”? This story could be titled, “The Perils of Prohaska”.
It is a rather long story chock full of details about sailing a vessel rigged in full sail for good weather and the perils of schooner navigating in stormy weather. Then, add to is all the odd behavior of the various Navy officers.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Biggins (born 31 October 1949) is a British writer of historical fiction. He is best known for his Prohaska series of novels set in the Austro-Hungarian Navy during the early years of the 20th Century.
Early life[edit]
Biggins was born in Bromley, Greater London, England. He attended Chepstow Secondary and Lydney Grammar Schools, and studied history at the University of Wales from 1968 to 1971. He continued his graduate studies in Poland.
Career[edit]
As a young man Biggins worked as a civil servant for the UK Ministry of Agriculture. He also worked as a journalist and did technical writing before becoming an author of historical fiction.
In 1991 the first of Biggins’ Prohaska novels, A Sailor of Austria, was published by Secker & Warburg. The story is set in the Austro-Hungarian Navy during World War I, and vividly depicts life on board the primitive and dangerous U-boats of the period.[1] Kirkus Reviews reported the book to be well researched, but called it “bland and mundane”.[2] The Historical Novel Society, on the other hand, deemed it “Excellent military fiction”, and similarly praised his later book Tomorrow The World.[3]
In 2010 Biggins began a new series of novels, and self-published his book, The Surgeon’s Apprentice. This novel was included by The Spectator magazine on its “Books of the Year” list,[4] described as a “soundly researched tale of sea-faring and warfare.” In 2021 he published its sequel, “The Lion Ascendant”.
His previous books are now being distributed by Bonanova Editions.
The Prohaska series[edit]
Overview[edit]
Ottokar Prohaska, the fictional protagonist, is a Czech by birth, but an Austrian naval officer by vocation. His exploits have elements of both adventure and comedy. The historical background is the last years of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and in particular, in the case of two of the novels, World War I.[5] The reader finds the hero/anti-hero, at different times, a gunnery officer aboard a ship, a submarine commander, and a member of the flying corps.
