Dangerous Affairs is an historical novel inspired by the true stroy of a pair of young children who were kidnaped by their father from his estranged wife and spirited aboard the Titanic, heading for a new life in America.

Starting with that idea, the author creates a fictionalized background in this compelling story, which brings the slim facts to life. In the process, the author adds depth and interest by imagining the lives and loves of the main characters, and establishes reasons for the behaviors that affect them all so profoundly.

This story is not about the Titanic, but no story set on that great ship can be told without involving the ship itself and its crew. This is done by incorporating facts about the ship and its voyage, even using the actual names of certain crew members and passengers who become involved.
