Michele looks forward to seeing her first of many historical literary manuscripts published, "Pushthrough: Ship's Wake" set upon the Grand Banks, Newfoundland at the turn of the Twentieth Century during the reign of George V, the Sailor King-- early on touching the heart of WWI from a young dory fisherman's point of view. Life was based upon survival of the fittest for the dory fishermen, and change was interwoven as intrinsically as the tides. It is a time when commercial and military sea passage marked Newfoundland on the map during numerous pioneering feats, especially the cod fishing frenzy--the North Atlantic's "gold." |
