    ID Johnson

    ID Johnson wears many hats: mother, wife, editor, tutu maker, and writer, to name a few. Some of her favorite people are the two little girls who often implore that she "watch me!" in the middle of forming finely crafted sentences, that guy who dozes off well before she closes her laptop, and those furry critters at the foot of the bed at night. If she could do anything in the world, she would live in Cinderella's castle and write love stories all day while sipping Dr. Pepper and eating calorie-less Hershey's kisses. For now, she'll stick to her Dallas-area home and spending her days with the characters she's grown to love. After 16 years in education, Johnson has embarked on a new career, one as a full-time writer. This will allow her to write at least one book per month, which means many of your favorite character will have new tales to tell in the upcoming months. Look for two spin-off series of The Clandestine Saga, one staring Cassidy Findley and another involving backstories for your favorite characters. Johnson will also produce several new historical romance novels and a new sweet contemporary Christian romance series as well.

      LEAVING GINNY

      May, 1844

      The boat was rocking incessantly. Not just the see-saw motion he’d grown accustomed to years ago, but it was swaying so violently now, he had trouble finding his footing as he made his way out of his cabin and to the upper deck. There, men scurried about, others shouted orders, sails and masts shifted in the wind, and the rain began to pound down upon them like tiny pebbles dropped from the skies.

      Mr. Hayes! the captain of the ship, Barkley, called over the roar of the waves and the driving rain once he noticed his presence. We’re having a hell of a time keeping her steady, sir. The waves are pounding us on the port side, driving us off course. I was just about to come and wake you.

      Spencer didn’t have time to wonder aloud how the captain thought anyone could possibly sleep through a raging storm and a rolling sea, but rather than point out the obvious, he looked up at the night sky just in time to see a blinding flash of lightning almost directly above them. Was it supposed to storm? he asked as he followed the captain up toward the bow where crew members were struggling to keep the wheel straight.

      No, sky was clear as a bell at sunset. Came out of nowhere, he shouted over his shoulder. Keep her straight, boys! he insisted.

      The wooden deck was slippery, Spencer discovered, as he almost lost his balance. While he had spent an accumulation of many years on schooners such as this, most of his time was spent in his cabin, not on the deck with the other sailors, and his knowledge of what was to be done in this time of crisis was limited. What shall I do? he asked just as a gust of wind caught the main sail overhead, sending it breaking free of its riggings, the ropes swinging around amidst the crewmen.

      The captain didn’t have a chance to answer as he let go a few solid swear words and went to assess the damage. A large wave rolled in, sending half of the men sprawling, and Spencer’s heart began to race within his chest. He had seen a few storms at sea, but nothing like this. Shouts of panicked men began to fill his ears as those who could regained their footing and scurried off to make themselves useful.

      He turned to face starboard, thinking there must be something he could do to help when he realized what little light had been coming from that direction was suddenly completely blocked out. Others noticed, too, as yells and screeches of terror filled the night. The rain was pelting him directly in the face as he raised his eyes, and for a moment he hoped the water was causing him to hallucinate, but he knew enough about how this particular crew, men he had sailed with at least half a dozen times, reacted to dangerous situations, and realized what he was seeing had to be real or else they would not be panicking the way they were.

      He heard the captain yell, Brace yourselves! and grasping that he was standing near the middle of the ship, closer to the starboard side than the port, he did the only thing he could think of and ran right towards what must be the highest wave ever to crest the sea.

      The ship rolled with the gathering shift in energy, and as the wave came down hard directly upon them, Spencer reached the railing and held on for dear life. He gasped one last breath before the cold,
