"I wrote the book thinking of my students, friends, and family in the US. I wanted them to learn more about the island of Malta, its rich history, culture, and the exciting shipwreck."

SHIPWRECK CALLING
It’s 60AD, the joyous rainy season has begun on the island of Malta. Suddenly Izavel’s father is lost in a storm and her desire to have a strong faith in the gods is challenged. Her mother longs to see her married to the governor’s son, Porcius. Not so far away, in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, Pax is on a ship destined for Rome. Pax finds himself shipwrecked, but alive with 275 other men on a strange island with vipers, honey, and beautiful Izavel. When another man from on board the ship shakes off a snake and heals the governor’s father of a fever everyone on the island begins to question the gods.
