Tales of Our Coast is a vibrant tapestry of narratives that reflect the intricate lives and dynamic interactions found along the coastal regions. This anthology encapsulates an array of literary styles ranging from the adventurous to the contemplative, capturing the multifaceted nature of maritime life. The collection stands as a testament to the rich literary context of its time, filled with stories that resonate with themes of exploration, the timeless beauty of the sea, and the enduring spirit of those who dwell by its formidable shores. Each tale adds a layer to the anthology's celebration of coastal heritage, offering diverse yet connected stories that linger with the reader. The anthology is a collaborative effort by renowned authors such as Arthur Quiller-Couch, whose deep understanding of coastal folklore permeates the volume, alongside Harold Frederic and others who enrich the narrative with their unique perspectives. Together, these authors lend their voices to the vivid world they depict, aligned closely with the historical and literary movement of late 19th-century realism. The collective insights and distinct backgrounds of the contributors merge seamlessly, providing a multidimensional view of coastal life that transcends simple storytelling. Readers will find in Tales of Our Coast a compelling invitation to explore the narratives that have helped shape maritime literature. The collection offers a valuable educational resource, appealing to those interested in both historical and thematic insights.

    Jesse McDermitt lives alone on an isolated island in the Florida Keys where he runs a charter fishing business. Retired from the Marine Corps for six years, he wants nothing more than to relax, fish, dive and enjoy the laid back lifestyle of the islands. 
    Russ, his former Platoon Sergeant and old friend, dies unexpectedly in a mysterious scuba diving accident and Jesse becomes suspicious. When his friend's son comes to south Florida to ask Jesse if he would take him to a remote reef to spread his father's ashes, the two men discover that Russ was murdered and agree to hunt down the psychotic killer together, unaware that their manhunt will lead them to a Caribbean terrorist cell. 
    Meanwhile, a beautiful woman has returned to the Keys on a manhunt of her own, distracting Jesse with the idea that he could finally leave his warrior past behind. The prospect of finding lost Confederate gold, several high speed boat chases, and dodging demented killers, won't stop Jesse from revenge. Surviving a powerful hurricane puts everything on hold as a top secret government agency tries to recruit him into their fold. 
    When the sun comes back out, will Jesse be ready?

    Henrietta Dorothy Huskisson was born in January 1851 in Gillingham, Kent. 
    Little reliable information on her life is available and almost nothing on her early life.   
    The first concrete information concerns her marriage at age 18 to the solicitor Isaac Edward Everett. 
    It was only at the age of 44 that she began her literary career under the pseudonym of Theo Douglas, a popular device in a society that still frowned upon women writing for income. 
    During her lifetime she was a popular author and wrote 22 books and those were published by 17 different publishers. 
    Although she wrote some historical novels her main output was centered on fantasy and supernatural themes. 
    Henrietta Dorothy Everett died in Weston-on-Trent in Derbyshire in September 1923.
