Readers call Sheltering Angel "the best historical fiction this year." It's 1912 with WWI on the horizon, and not deterred by a coal strike, cruise ship company White Star Line launches the maiden voyage of its newest ship RMS Titanic. Come aboard with real-life first-class passengers Florence and Bradley Cumings and meet their steward, Scotsman Andrew Cunningham, another authentic character in this gripping tale. Louella will give a brief reading from Sheltering Angel and then open the session to Q&A. The book, as well as Louella's other titles, will be available for purchase.

A couple quick quotes from readers:

"I was enthralled by Sheltering Angel, and would recommend this book very highly to anyone." ~ Robert C. Brown
