Читать книгу Sailing In Style - Dana Mentink - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

Have you ever wanted to sail away from your worries? Me, too. I guess that’s why it was so enticing to write about a historic paddle-wheel steamboat. Though the fictional River King doesn’t ply the waters anymore, she’s a reminder of an elegant time when people put aside their cares and paddled along the California waterways. In preparation to write this book, I had the pleasure of touring the Delta King, a beautiful old paddle wheel docked in Sacramento. I met the gracious Coyne family, who saw the loveliness in this regal vessel even when she was nearly wrecked and has painstakingly brought her back to life.

Isn’t that what romance is all about? Seeing the beauty in someone in spite of the scars? Cy and Piper certainly have some damage to overcome, but what better place to attempt it than an old boat docked outside the sleepy little town of Tumbledown!

Thank you for coming along with me on this journey. I hope you enjoyed the trip! I’m always happy to hear from my readers via my website, danamentink.com, or my Facebook and Twitter pages. There’s also a physical address on my website if you’d rather correspond by mail. Thank you again for taking the time to sail along with Cy and Piper.

Fondly,
