The Margru is a 14-foot cruising dinghy, once the tender of replica schooner, Amistad, used for the Amplitude of Time memoir series. Margru is named after a 10 year old African girl that was captured in West Africa and was aboard the slave ship Amistad when it made landfall in Culloden Point near Montauk, Long Island. Margru was converted to a cruising dinghy and used for several passages made for the memoir -- a story that begins in heyday of clamming on the Long Island's Great South Bay in the 1970s and ends with an account of Amistad visiting England, Africa and Cuba.

The Great White Storm
And the New York Blizzard of 1888
What if a soul could continue to change the world, life after life? My novel is set against the Great White Storm of 1888, the most devastating blizzard in New York’s history. As the city is brought to its knees, Richard Rhys walks into the white hurricane in search of his wife, only to encounter the echoes of his past and future incarnations. Across centuries, his soul reappears as a painter in modern New York, a half Lakota, half Tibetan medicine woman in 1664 New Amsterdam, and through lives shaped by art, mysticism, love, and awakening.
A saffron thread binds these lifetimes together, leading to hidden paintings, forgotten histories, and encounters with real historical figures whose legacies shaped the modern world. From Brooklyn to London, this story explores reincarnation, alchemy, and the power of art to unlock transformation and enlightenment.
This is a story about love that transcends time, the evolution of the soul, and how creativity itself may be a force that carries memory across lifetimes.
