About the Book

The Steamship Chronicles continues with Nathaniel Bowden and Samantha Crill crossing the storm-tossed Atlantic while Sam fights to keep her talents in check. Is Luck a Miracle or a Curse? Luck alone has kept Sam undiscovered so far. She dreads the moment the crew learns their miracle and curse have a human face, but it’s Nat’s reaction she fears the most. When her Natural talents are revealed, all the ways she’s used her far-from-human abilities to keep the engine running may count for nothing. Obsessed with the steamship’s engine, Nat’s new position as the engineer’s apprentice is a dream come true even when a fierce storm tests the limits of his new skills. He basks in the praise of the engineer and crew once they’re safe again, but their cheers soon turn to curses when Nat realizes the nearest island on the charts is nothing but a sandbar. With food and water running low, how is he going to keep Sam fed?

About the Author
Margaret McGaffey Fisk

A third-culture kid always fascinated by culture clash and melds, Margaret McGaffey Fisk applies her own experiences growing up in the U.S. Foreign Service to the stories she shares. She looks for the adventure in every moment, whether in a Middle Eastern bazaar, sailing stormy waters, or hiking not far from home in Nevada. Her stories will take you to different places and times, not always pleasant ones, but you can count on a dose of hope in each because life is more interesting if you believe, whatever the darkness, something better is just around the corner.
