The Voyage Begins: Launching Eastern Embarkation

It’s been a little quiet here on the blog these past few months, but for good reason — I’ve been steering the ship toward launch. And now, the moment’s finally here.

I’m excited to share that Eastern Embarkation, the first book in the Ocean Horizons Romance Series, has officially launched!

Where to find it

You can now set sail with Eastern Embarkation in whichever format suits you best:

• Digital edition available on Amazon Kindle

• Included with Kindle Unlimited for subscribers

• Paperback edition launched today through Amazon

Why this book matters

This story marks the beginning of a four-book journey designed to feel like a true escape. My goal with the Ocean Horizons series is to give readers the sense of being on a cruise — full of atmosphere, romance, humor, and those little human connections that make travel unforgettable. Eastern Embarkation introduces Katherine and Randy, two characters whose paths cross at sea, each finding more than they expected.

An Invitation

If you pick up the book, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Reviews and reader feedback are what help stories like this find their audience — and what keeps me motivated to write the next leg of the voyage.

Thank you for coming aboard with me at the very start of this series. The adventure is just the beginning, and I'm glad to share it with you.

Until next time, safe travels — and may your horizons always be wide ❤️🌊
