About Us
Illuminating Moments in Time
Welcome to Gull Cottage Books, home to the collected works of author and historian JoAnn Semones. Her writing focuses on human stories – people lost at sea, people facing life threatening situations, and people finding their place in history.
Uncovering the secrets of history is about illuminating moments in time. It’s reaching back to a special era or circumstance that speaks to us, that sheds light on who we were and who we’ve become. It’s mysterious and romantic; sometimes cruel, sometimes humorous; and always familiar to those of us who hear its call. Featured here are JoAnn’s books, Hard Luck Coast and Shipwrecks, Scalawags, and Scavengers. These maritime history books represent more than colorful sea lore. They offer important portals to our past, linking us to unforgettable times, noteworthy places, and remarkable people. |

JoAnn’s maritime stories have also been published in Mains’L Haul, Professional Mariner, Lighthouse Digest, and Anchor Light. Other stories have appeared in her book Eye Remember, as well as in Good Old Days Magazine, A Light In The Mist, Surviving Magazine, Stanford University’s anthology, Learning to Live Again, and in the Chicken Soup for the Soul international book series.
Read, enjoy, and share the moments in time.
