Hi, Savannah here. I've been living aboard the cruise ship for a few days, but it isn't what I expected. The ability to demonstrate glassblowing on board ship has been a real experience.
I was so excited to be invited to substitute teach and visit the Mediterranean at the same time, but this trip has been nothing but trouble.
It was wonderful to meet my boyfriend Edward's family in a small town just north of London, but his cousin Ian has turned out to be nothing but trouble.
Now Ian is nowhere to be found. It's causing great worry and I can't enjoy what should be an amazing experience. I hope he turns up soon.
Has your family ever embarrassed you on a vacation?

About Shattered at Sea
A Mediterranean cruise gives glass shop owner Savannah Webb a chance to demonstrate her expertise--and fire up her skills when it comes to foul play.
When Savannah signs on to perform glass blowing on a cruise ship, part of the appeal is that she'll get to meet her boyfriend Edward's family in England. As an added bonus, Edward's cousin, Ian, will be joining them on board. But when Ian disappears at the beginning of the cruise, the ship's authorities initially consider it suicide.

Great read. Thanks for the ARC via netgalley.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was very young we used to jump in the lake from a dock but I wouldn't. I was more apprehensive so everyone would wait for me to slide in. Your book would be greatly enjoyed. Thanks. saubleb(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteMy family never embarrassed me on vacation. I'm not sure if they think I did! lkleback at hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid and when my Dad was still in the Army (proudly served for 29 years during WWII, Korea, and Vietnam), we would travel back to the Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma every summer to visit with relatives. I had one aunt that seemed to embarrass the whole family every year about as regular as clockwork. I'm sure we all have that one relative that is way too loud, pushy and thinks they know everything - that was her. And why do they always wait until you are in a public place with lots of strangers around to act that way? I figured it was for attention so my reaction was to ignore her and stay away from her as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the opportunity to read "Shattered at Sea". I have it on my TBR list and appreciate the chance to win a copy.

A cousin was obnoxious and behaved this way his entire life. Shattered at Sea sounds intriguing. elliotbencan(at)hotmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteoh my foster parents would embarass us all the time and they would tell people that we were foster kids and that is why we haven't seen this or we would go out to dinner and we were shocked when we would of as it was so very very few times we went out to eat and they would tell the waitress overlook us as we were foster kids or we were to get the cheapest as we were foster kids and the waitress would laugh at us ,. I didn;t think it was so funny and several times was in tears as I heard it all the time from them but for the younger ones i felt really bad. The people would always laugh at us the way we were dressed like we lived in the street and when in vaca they would go to reno or tahoe and still do this that was our vacation riding in the back of a truck and sitting on a bench for days while they gambled that was our second foster mom the first passed and the second was her best friend. ptclayton2 (at) aol (dot) com.

When I was a teen a cousin went to an amusement park with my family and shoplifted. It was so embarrassing to have to leave the park because of her action. ematov (at) comcast (dot) net

ReplyDeleteI was about 19 and my unmarried Aunt paid for me to go on a bus vacation tour with her. She was thrifty. The first day after we returned to the hotel, after our tour excursions, we had to talk all over town trying to find a grocery store so she could buy lunch meat, bread, juice and sweet rolls which would then become our supper that night and our breakfast the next morning. dbahn(@)iw(dot)net
