News gathering in 1912, not unlike today, often jumped-the-gun before all of the facts were known. Titanic 1912 takes a hard look at the original newspaper coverage of the disaster and sorts out the true facts from the gross exaggerations that appeared in newspapers, worldwide. This book provides a unique look-back into 1912 news reporting by a renowned, 21^st century journalist.

Trapped on the Titanic is a work of children's historical fiction set in 2012 but hauntingly played out in 1912 aboard Titanic. This mystery thriller begins when Callie, an impressionable eight-grader, visits a Titanic museum attraction and is suddenly engulfed in a scary 100-year-old mystery. An old photograph of a crying young girl (who looks exactly like Callie) triggers the action that exposes family secrets, spooky encounters, ghosts of her family's past and espionage.

A Titanic Love Story traces the life of Isidor and Ida Straus, both German and Jewish immigrants, Civil War survivors and wealthy owners of Macy's Department Store in New York City. The two were soul mates who were committed to the welfare of their family, their city, their country and to those less fortunate than themselves. They were inseparable, even when faced with certain death aboard Titanic. The historical significance of their lives illuminates the pages of this new biographical study.

Two Titanic books that explore the epic story from dramatically different perspectives.

The Other Side of the Night - The Carpathia, the Californian, and the Night Titanic Was Lost. While Titanic was sinking, there was another amazing drama being played out on the decks of two other ships, one 58 miles distant from Titanic, the other barely 10 miles away. Captains on both ships knew Titanic was doomed but only one would take his ship into dangerous waters to answer the call for help, while the other would decide the risk was too great, and sailed away. This book reveals what actually happened aboard the Titanic, the Carpathia and the Californian.

Unsinkable - The Full Story of the RMS Titanic explores every facet of the Titanic's history, from her conception to her fateful collision to salvage attempts. The author presents a contemporary view of the crew and the passengers aboard, providing a fresh look at this incredible story. "The best treatment of the unlucky liner's saga since Walter Lord's A Night to Remember." - Washington Times

Hearts That Survive is a Titanic love story that spans generations. It's the tangled tale of a young railroad heiress and a toy train maker who take their wedding vows at sea on Titanic's Grand Staircase. In their quest for happiness, their love affair goes beyond the barriers of 1912 society - and there's a price to pay. On the night of the sinking, their fate was in the hands of God as they clung to the hope that their love was more powerful than pain and loss.

This is the dramatic true story of Titanic survivors, Albert and Sylvia Caldwell as told to Julie Williams by her great-uncle, Albert Caldwell.

On the day of their wedding in 1909, Albert and Sylvia, idealistic young Presbyterian missionaries from the American Midwest, set out to Siam (now Thailand), eager to serve God and see the world - but things changed and in 1912 they left Siam with their 10-month-old son, Alden. Their adventures back to the States had stretched half-way around the world by the time they reached Titanic. Five days later their faith was tested as never before.

On Sunday, April 14, 1912 the RMS Titanic, the largest and most luxurious ship in the world is 1,400 miles out to sea. More than 2,000 men, women and children are on board, each with a story to tell. The voices in this unique recreation of the disaster span classes and stations, from first-class millionaire John Jacob Astor to Margaret ("the unsinkable Molly") Brown to Captain E.J. Smith; from the lookout and wireless men to a young boy in search of dragons and a gambler in search of fools with money to lose. This fascinating novel offers a breathtaking, intimate look into the lives of passengers and crew, told with astounding emotional power.

In 2010, nine-year-old Luke Copas of Kodak, Tennessee, presented a small manuscript he had written about the RMS Titanic to Mary Kellogg-Joslyn, co-owner of the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. It was a child's encyclopedia of all things Titanic, drawn from research, reality and a boy's vivid imagination. "He has an amazing talent," Kellogg-Joslyn said. Unbeknownst to him, she made a few calls and landed him a book deal!
