| A TIDE IN TIME is the first volume in THE LOG OF MATTHEW ROVING, a series of time-traveling sea novels covering the American Revolutionary period (1772-1783), told from the point of view of a modern teenage boy, Matthew, and his slightly older sister, Abby, who find themselves embarked on a quest that has both personal and historical implications. The book began as sixteen chapters written and published serially by Naval History magazine from 2000-2004, under the aegis of editor in chief Fred Schultz. Illustrations were provided by Jan Adkins, a highly respected artist as well as writer. At the conclusion of the serial, I was named as "Author of the Year" by the U.S. Naval Institute, the publisher of Naval History, and Adkins was named "Illustrator of the Year."
