I'm a maritimer living in Nova Scotia. I love book clubs! </p> <p>My book is set in Nfld, based on a true tragedy in the early 1900's. The back of the book says:</p> <p>Black Water Born<br /> 'Against the background of Newfoundland's early years, Black Water Born tells the turbulent love story of Lucky and Helen whose relationship seems doomed from the start. An action-driven tale of adventure, passion and family secrets, Fara Spence's second novel reveals the cost of discovering what really matters in life -- and death.</p> <p>"Spence is a born storyteller. Black Water Born is a work of sharp<br /> observation and immediacy that kept me<br /> turning the pages steadily..." Globe &#38; Mail.</p> <p>My website is <a href="http://www.faraspence.com." rel="nofollow">www.faraspence.com.</a><br /> Would love to hear from other readers and writers.<br /> Cheers,<br /> Fara </p>
