about me

As a sailor signal is scarce.. so if I haven't replied to messages or requests, I promise it isn't because I'm ignoring you... I'm somewhere glaring at an uncooperative computer screen and will answer in due course.
I am sailing around the world with my family (Parents, sister and brother) on our 33ft Dean Catamaran... It's a relatively new adventure for us, we've been sailing for three years so far. Before that we lived on a farm.. I started writing 'A Wager of Wills' at 16 and wrote the last page when I was 18. I have been editing and revising it since then.
My goal is to make a living as a writer; to study in England and through my writing help fund our circumnavigation and further adventures.

A Wager of Wills

Samantha Alchin

In an era when the world was your home, your country, Amy Kensington stepped out into the dark corners of the map.


Based in the mid 1800's, England:
Amy Kensington lost her mama when she was just twelve, four years later her father was claimed in a carraige accident. Betrothed to one she did not love, her world shattered, her only friend turned cold, her horizon darkened...
However, a sequence of events wins her unexpected freedom on condition of a trial, one that would take her around the world, a dangerous voyage for a young lady, where anything 'might' happen.
With the quiet Maria O'Brien (her handmaid) attentively and somewhat annoyingly at her side as well as the eccentric and entertaining Judge Cutter and her estranged childhood friend Richard Simons in tow she has countless adventures, discovers true friendship and draws courage from an eternal unfailing Father.

I've checked the word count and A Wager of Wills is only 116,084 words long... somewhwere along the line some chapters must have doubled up, so I'll have to look into that.... I'm working on chapter one at the moment and will try and apply all the good advice I've been given so far :) view book
