“Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be Pirates.” – Mark Twain

The row v. wave Novels

Sea Change is a high-seas romantic adventure that explores the courage it takes to throw aside mundane lives and take a chance on something more.  Sea Change serves as confirmation that a life of love and adventure is possible, if we only take a chance. 

Keith and Andrea set out on their 37-foot sailboat from Fort Lauderdale for the Panama Canal and are schooled in the risks and challenges of seeking a life beyond the ordinary. Thrown together by chance, they fight for survival against the sea, the elements and modern-day pirates as they make their way around the world. As they learn about each other and work to become an effective team, they discover the courage it takes to take a chance on something more.

A perfect read for the millions of adults coming to grips with the dashed potential of a life spent doing the right thing. Sea Change, the first in the Row v. Wave series by debut novelist RK Preston, is a thrilling romantic adventure for "coming of age" adults to reach for a little more, or at least spend a few hours going there in their imaginations.
