Deborah Meroff

Deborah Meroff grew up in New England and spent summers on the coast of Maine. After earning BA and MLS degrees she worked in several libraries and authored her first books: Coronation of Glory; the Story of Lady Jane Grey, and Captain, My Captain. She then went to sea with OM Ships, serving as press officer for several years and eventurally serving on 4 different vessels. After shipwrecking at the bottom of South America she returned to land and made her base in London, continuing to travel to over 100 countries and authoring countless articles and further books as a journalist and photographer. She most enjoys writing about the unsung heroes she has met and places she has visited, and never tires of going back to the sea for inspiration.
