SHANNON HOLLI S
got her first positive review at the age of eight, when her teacher shivered at a story she wrote about a ghost in a graveyard. She wrote her first book at thirteen and sent it off to a literary publisher, who probably took one look at the yellow typing paper and white correction fluid and deduced the age of the author. His remarks were consequently very kind, and gave her the courage to keep writing.
Twenty-five years, seven manuscripts and zillions of rejection letters later, Shannon sold her master’s thesis to Mills & Boon and fulfilled a lifelong dream.
After moving to California from Canada, Shannon started work in the high-tech industry in Silicon Valley. She fell in love with and married her boss, but while they were still newlyweds, the 1989 earthquake destroyed their house. During the construction of a new home, she learned what teamwork and communication really mean!
Shannon is now living her dream of being a writer, and freelance editing keeps her in touch with the fast-paced corporate life that sparks so many ideas. She loves to hear from readers. Send her e-mail at [email protected]
Dear Reader,
Welcome to book five of THE WHITE STAR mini-series! I’m thrilled to be part of it, and hope you enjoy the next instalment, which features academic cate Wells and adventurer archaeologist Daniel Burke.
Theirs is a reunion story – an ever-popular plot. But why is it so popular? What is it about the “do-over” that fascinates us so? Is it the chance to revisit an old love and see what has changed – and what has not? Or is it the chance to remember what went wrong – and get it right this time? Because we all know that our first love may not be our true love. But when it is, as cate and Daniel discover, getting it right can cover anything from that first magical kiss…to… well, let’s find out!
Warmly,
Shannon Hollis

THERE WAS NO SUCH THING as a dead man’s curse.
In the murky twilight of two hundred feet of silty water, Daniel Burke felt like arguing the point as he squinted through his mask, searching for the ribs of the sixteenth-century Basque galleon on the ocean floor.
