In my novel FLOREANA and Ron Howard's new film EDEN, we reimagine the real-life events of the Galápagos Affair and seek resolution for the still-unsolved mysteries of what happened on Floreana Island in the 1930s.

Calling all Kindle readers!

Floreana Island itself is among the stars of Ron Howard’s new film EDEN … like FLOREANA, it also imagines a fictional ending to the mysterious events in the Galápagos in the 1930s.
