Delmarva Adventure

Delmarva Adventure, the romance novel, developed from an encounter I had while on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. I was Plein Aire painting at a historically restored plantation when I saw and felt a spirit in one of the windows and again when I entered the old manse. A year later I started writing about the character, Caroline; which I developed from the idea of the ghost in the window. I returned to the plantation and visited the gravesite on the property to find that the name of the lady of the manse was also Caroline. This coincidence made me want to write an adventure whirlwind romance about my muse. My Caroline had an adventure when she was thrown into the past. She met and fell in love with the Master of the plantation; an Italian merchant Captain. The Captain was intrigued by this beautiful girl he finds unconscious on his property. When she wakes, she is bewildered by her surroundings and this handsome man dressed like a rich pirate. He wants to help her; but he isn't sure he can trust her because she doesn't act like other women of his time. Caroline has to find a way to survive by changing her future. Does she stay in the past with Giovanni in the 1800's and have the adventure of a lifetime; or does she find a way back to the future and resume her life.
