My third Corey Shaw novel, Invisible Curtain, has been re-released and is available on Amazon!

Here is the link to Amazon.

Blurb:
Paranormal sleuth Corey Shaw is enjoying vacation with his family in the Baltic Sea when terrorists bomb restaurants hosting World Cup parties in London and Copenhagen. On each occasion the explosion coincides with the cruise ship leaving port. Although the United States isn’t attacked directly, Corey and his colleagues are unavoidably drawn into the investigation with or without the blessing of international intelligence agencies. When a third bomb goes off in St. Petersburg, Russia, Corey is convinced the answer lies aboard his ship. 

He must use all his psionic abilities to protect his family, and his friends, and keep the world safe from this worrying upsurge in international terrorism

Twilight Zone episode "Passage on the Lady Anne" airs 1963

I probably would not have liked this episode so much if I didn't enjoy cruising,  but I kinda relate to the characters in Passage on the Lady Anne, a Twilight Zone episode which aired May 9, 1963. 

A young couple book a 13-day cruise on the Lady Anne from New York City to London.  The wife, Ellen Ransome, hopes the long voyage will help rekindle the romance in her marriage to Alan (married to his job).

Her plans don't work out and they agree to separate once they reach London, but the Lady Anne has other plans.  Ellen and Alan are first met with hostility since the older passengers can't understand how they were able to book passage.  And the Lady Anne hasn't had new passengers in years.  She is going to be retired once they reach London.

The old passengers are devoted to the ship, and speak as if she is a living being.  She might be considering some of the strange events that happen on board, which ultimately lead to Alan and Ellen finding romance once again.

Finally,  the captain Alfred Pennyworth...oops, I mean, the captain (played by Alfred Pennyworth) forces the Ramones off the ship at gunpoint, but promises they will be  picked up in a few hours.

The Ramones are rescued and they try to find news of the Lady Anne, but she and her passengers have disappeared without a trace.

I suppose I would be  like the old passengers on a beloved cruise ship, knowing that she would take care of us forever in the Twilight Zone.
