Linda Collison talks about how her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work aboard the replica of Captain James Cook’s 18th-century tall ship led to the creation of her acclaimed first novel Star-Crossed<\/em> (Knopf; 2006). Surgeon’s Mate;<\/em>Book two of the Patricia MacPherson Nautical Adventure Series was published this year by Tucson’s own Fireship Press.<\/p>\n

Collison will talk about her experience aboard Endeavour,<\/em> how she researches maritime history and how she uses her past expertise as a critical care and ER nurse to lend authority to the story. She will share how she made the tempestuous crossing from freelance writer and guidebook author to historical novelist.<\/p>\n
