Coming Soon...

John Cabot — builder of canals and bridges, devoted husband, and father of three — dreams of wealth and status for his family. But his aspirations leave him overextended, pursued by merciless creditors, and forced to flee Venice with his family.

Young Sebastian Cabot dreams of becoming a navigator and commander like his father. He and his younger brother, Sancius, embark on Admiral John Cabot’s 1498 voyage to discover a route to Asia.

About the Author
My original impetus for writing these books, more than eight years ago, remains unchanged: to foster Canadian identity and unity by publishing character-driven novels that offer a revitalized portrayal of circumstances and events surrounding the birth of our nation.
