Millvina Dean, Titanic's last survivor, passed peacefully in her sleep this past May 2009 at the age of 97. She was a wonderfully kind lady and an international treasure. She will be missed.

Thanks so much, Millvina. view post

Author

About Me:

I'm an engineer by trade, a writer by heart. Surprisingly, it's a great combination. My recent novel, Titanic: Relative Fate, received the coveted Publisher's Choice designation, endorsed by Barnes & Noble. My other published work, Seven Sexy Tales of Terror, includes the Writer’s Digest award winning story, Island Madness. My next novel has been honored with the prestigious Paul Gillette Memorial Award presented by David Morrell, fellow Canadian writer, author of the Rambo novels. Thanks all!
Interests:

The philosopher, Carl Jung, said, “The probability of a certain set of circumstances coming together in a meaningful (or tragic) way is so low that it simply cannot be considered mere coincidence.” If not coincidence, then I ask, what? Fate?
Favourite Books:

There is no book I won't read if it's got a great "hook."
Favourite Movies:

Anything mysterious, suspenseful.
Favourite Music:

No not the theme from the Titanic movie.
Favourite Quote:

The disaster was due to a combination of circumstances that never occurred before and can never occur again.—Titanic’s Second Officer Lightoller

Dean Koontz

This was the first Dean "R" Koontz book I'd read. And it scared the you know what out of me. A book that can evoke that kind of emotion is a must have in anyone's library. (Of course, I was younger then.)

Colonel Archibald Gracie

John B. Thayer's account strikes me when he says, "There was peace, and the world had an even tenor to its ways. Today the world has to be contented with rapidity of motion, nervous emotion, and economic security. To my mind the world awoke April 15th, 1912."

Their stories are chilling. Lightoller's comment inspires the concept of fate. "The disaster was just due to a combination of events that never occurred before and can never occur again. That may seem like a sweeping statement, yet it is a fact."
