On Winter Tides

Before a nation could be born, its tides had to be crossed.


On Winter Tides follows a young seafarer into the perilous waters of the 18th-century Atlantic, where merchant ships, privateers, hidden cargo, and divided loyalties carry the first tremors of revolution.


From the Chesapeake to the crowded free ports of the Caribbean, the novel enters a world of salt air, lantern light, secret trade, and gathering war.


Rich with maritime detail and historical tension, On Winter Tides brings the grit and grandeur of America’s founding era to life through the men who crossed its uncertain seas.
