Biography
CM (Kate) Lance grew up on Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia. Her background is in science and technology, but in 2000 she ran across the story of the charmed life of an old Broome pearling lugger, Redbill, and discovered the joys of archives and writing. Kate Lance’s first book, Redbill: From Pearls to Peace, won the Western Australian Premier's Book Award for Non-Fiction in 2004.
Her second book, Alan Villiers: Voyager of the Winds, won the Mountbatten Maritime Award for Best Literary Contribution in 2009. Her novels include The Turning Tide, published in 2014 by Allen & Unwin, and Atomic Sea, published in 2016 by Seabooks Press. Kate has two adult sons and lives with two whippets near the water in green South Gippsland.
"A beautiful and poignant coming of age romantic tale that kept me reading from start to finish." Goodreads.
Lucy Fox is sailing to Melbourne in 1906 with her sister Rosa, when a tragic landfall leaves her life entangled with three seamen: gentle Sam, cynical Danny and beautiful Gideon.
After Rosa's scandalous elopement, trader Min-lu draws Lucy into a new world of silks and spices and the silvery pearlshell of Broome: a port in the wild Australian north-west where breaking the rules is a way of life.
The Great War begins and Lucy's lover must go to sea, where ruthless U-boats are stalking the last of the great sailing ships.
But even when peace returns, the influenza pandemic comes with it … and Lucy, far from home, discovers how bitterly she has been betrayed.
