Читать книгу Deadly Engagement - Elle James - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

I had fun building the little vacation seaside town of Cape Churn and populating it with characters you’ll see again. But the most fun I had in Deadly Engagement was researching the scuba diving and boating aspects of the book.

I took scuba lessons about twenty years ago and have yet to scuba dive in the ocean. I took my open-water dive in a murky lake, and I’ve snorkeled in Cancun, Hawaii, Guam and Florida, but never scuba dived in the ocean and never in Oregon, where the Pacific Ocean is cold and requires a wet suit to maintain body warmth. However, it’s on my bucket list. I had pictures of equipment, dive boats and rocky coastlines bookmarked while I pounded away at the keyboard.

While writing this book, Cape Churn became such a part of my life I wanted to join Emma Jenkins and Creed Thomas Ruckman aboard the Reel Dive on the hunt for the cargo aboard the Pelageya and then go in search of the Anna Maria. What an exciting journey!

Nothing like a little suspense to make the setting even more interesting, right?

Happy reading!

Elle James
