\"\"Thanks to Lisa Goodwin, the Women who Sail New England<\/strong> and the Between the Lines Book Club<\/strong> for inviting me to your discussion of The Surgeon’s Mate<\/em>!\u00a0 As promised, here are a few of the most readable nonfiction books that inspired my research and writing of Star-Crossed<\/em>, and the Patricia MacPherson Nautical Adventures. I am a true historical nerd and nautical geek, but I think these might appeal to some of you.<\/p>\n

The Wooden World; An Anatomy of the Georgian Navy<\/em><\/strong> by N.A.M. Rodger. 1986.<\/p>\n

Jack Tar; The extraordinary lives of ordinary seamen in Nelson’s navy<\/em><\/strong> by Roy & Lesley Adkins. 2008.<\/p>\n

The Life and Adventures of John Nicol, Mariner<\/strong>.<\/em> Edited and with an Introduction by Tim Flannery. 1997.<\/p>\n
