Cellini’s Revenge Who killed Catherine Evans’ husband, David, in 1956? To fight the injustice of her being accused of his murder and serving twelve years in Holloway prison for it, Catherine returns to England from Vermont at sixty-five in 1995 to find the real murderer, thinking she would use DNA, but instead, inventing a very unusual way to catch the murderer. Cellini’s Revenge is the story of the four-hundred-year history of the twelve silver, astrological cups which are stolen from Benvenuto Cellini in 1527 in Italy as he is riding his horse to deliver them personally to the famous Italian family, d’Este, and a fearless Catherine who takes up the fight for justice, searching for the priceless cups and the murderer. We meet many fascinating characters of different classes who play a part in this history, at sea, in Rome and Cornwall, in Brick Lane, Portabello Road and The Old Bailey. Broad Reach A single Berkeley mother, forty-two, artist, songwriter and nursery school teacher, whose daughter has left for college, tries to fill the horrible vacuum left in her life and her search for community by sailing around the world with a sexy, handsome Englishman. Robert, in his late forties, on his 43-foot yacht is a well-mannered man on land, but verbally and physically abusive at sea. She wants to leave him, but how can she leave her new home, his boat, and the wonderful sailing community that she has found in the strange, exotic South Pacific? 94,000 words The Flood, Three Girls and a Cat In a flood, three girls and a cat row for three days towards the community center where their parents said they were going the night they never returned.
