Author: Lucinda Hathaway
Bio: Lucinda Hathaway (“Cinda” to her friends) has traveled all over the world, mostly by ship. She lives, with her husband Jack, in Longboat Key, Florida — a quiet island in the Gulf of Mexico. She had previously lived on another island, Ocean City, New Jersey, and there she became intrigued with the Sindia, a steel bark that ran aground in 1901 and became the inspiration for her first book, Takashi’s Voyage. Her family has vacationed in Maine for almost forty years, so it was natural for her to set this sequel on a Maine Downeaster. She can often be found sailing her sloop Eventide. Cinda is happy to share her love of the sea and our natural world with an audience of children eager to learn, and she regularly visits schools to share all of Takashi’s stories.
