The release of Against the Tide is getting closer, and I thought I’d better begin talking about it!
For those of you who read The Lady of Bolton Hill, you will already know the novel’s hero, Bane, but this is a completely stand-alone novel. You don’t need to have read the prequel to make sense of Against the Tide!
Here is a quick blurb about the book:
Boston of 1891 is a city of hope and ambition, where mariners, merchants, and dreamers thrive in the cobblestone streets of America’s most historic city. Within the harbor of Boston’s naval shipyard, Lydia Pallas has become a trusted assistant to an Admiral in the U.S. Navy. Fluent in seven languages, she spends her days translating documents from all over the world.
Lydia’s remarkable language skills bring her to the attention of Alexander Banebridge, a mysterious man on a quest to rid the world of the scourge of opium. Only Lydia has the rare combination of language skills and courage he needs to advance his cause. A man as coolly analytical as he is relentless, Bane never bargained on falling in love with Lydia. As he battles the bittersweet love that grows between them, Bane’s mission will take Lydia away from everything—and everyone—she ever held dear.
With fast-paced intrigue and unforgettable characters, Against the Tide is Elizabeth Camden’s most romantic novel yet.

Can’t wait to read this one! Bane was such an interesting character so can’t wait to find out what his story is!
I’ve been coming every week to read your blog, hoping for more info about Against the Tide! I’m so excited! Bane is one of my favorite book characters period. Maybe we’ll get a sneak peek soon? (hint hint) 😉
Bless you, Jessica! I’m afraid I don’t yet have a teaser scene to post, but I’ll write more blog spots soon. I am also learning to use Pinterest (finally! I must be the last person on the planet!) You can glean some insight into what the vibe and tone of the book there:

Loved the Pinterest! Several other authors I’ve read have made Pinterests for their stories too. I love the idea. It definitely helps visualize the story even better!
I noticed you have another book in the works too. Is it about the Chicago Fire? It looks interesting! 🙂
Yup, Jessica! The Chicago Fire is the subject of my next novel, but it is still in its embryonic stages. It was such a monumental event, and just BEGS to have a story written about it. I am having a ball writing it.
