Author of: Miracle

Gail Langer Karwoski stumbled upon the story of the Sea Venture when she was researching her novel Surviving Jamestown: The Adventures of Young Sam Collier. “The events fascinated me,” she says. “I imagined the terror of these travelers, who discovered their ship was leaking as they careened across a hurricane-swept ocean, but later discovered that the disaster actually saved them from a much-worse fate. No wonder Shakespeare seized upon this story as the inspiration for his play, The Tempest.”

Gail taught English and drama in the Georgia public schools for thirteen years before deciding to write full-time. In addition to Surviving Jamestown and Miracle, she is the author of Seaman, the Dog Who Explored the West with Lewis and Clark and Quake: Disaster in San Francisco, 1906.

Gail Karwoski lives in Watkinsville, Georgia, with her husband, Chester, a Professor Emeritus at University of Georgia in Athens. They have two grown daughters.
