We are delighted to announce our first fiction title, due for release in June, by new talent Sara Allerton. Her impressive debut, Making Shore, is already collecting accolades from the first proof copies:

"A remarkable imaginative achievement... a compelling story" –Edward Stourton

'This breathtaking debut novel deals with man's harrowing struggle for survival in a hostile sea, but this book is so much more – a life-affirming account of love, camaraderie, anguish and coming of age, played out against a backdrop of the Atlantic swell.  Making Shore is destined to become a true maritime classic.'
–Angus Konstam, author of 'Sovereigns of the Sea', 'Piracy' and 'Naval Miscellany'

"This is a brilliantly conceived story of endurance and romance, in which Sara Allerton's mastery of detail and sympathy with her characters fully engage the reader.  It held me enthralled until the last sentence." -Lord Butler of Brockwell
