A Cry from the Deep

By the author of the award-winning Sunflowers Under Fire, a time-slip romantic mystery and adventure about a love so powerful it spans several lifetimes. Is it fate that we meet the right one? How do we know? And when we die, is that love over? When Catherine Fitzgerald, an underwater photographer about to cover the hunt for one of the lost ships of the Spanish Armada, buys an antique Claddagh ring, she becomes troubled by nightmares that set her on a path to fulfill a promise made centuries before. Why she's being haunted by a woman from the past becomes as compelling as the treasure hunt itself. As she unravels the mystery of the woman who haunts her dreams, she has to come to grips with her own struggle to find true love. Set in Provence, Manhattan, and Ireland, this mystery not only exposes two women's longings, but also the beauty of the deep, where buried treasures tempt salvagers to break the law.

Diana Stevan likes to joke she's a Jill of all trades as she's worked as a family therapist, teacher, librarian, model, actress and sports reporter for CBC television. With writing her passion, she's published newspaper articles, poetry; a short story, and a novelette, The Blue Nightgown, a coming-of-age story set in the 1950s. Her novels cross genres: A Cry from the Deep, a time-slip romantic mystery/adventure; The Rubber Fence, women's fiction, inspired by her work on a psychiatric ward in the 1970s, and Sunflowers Under Fire, historical fiction / family saga, based on her Ukrainian grandmother's life during WWI and the wars that followed in Russia.
