H. S. Contino was first inspired to write in Mrs. Brown's 5th grade class, and she's been plugging away at her keyboard ever since!

In an interview shortly after the publication of her first book, a photographic overview of southern Oregon shipwrecks, Contino stated that she acquired her appreciation for history from her grandfather. She has fond memories of him telling stories related to family genealogy.

I’m a huge Stargate: SG1 and Stargate: Atlantis fan. Every time I rewatch an episode of the show, I want to climb through my television screen and join the characters.

I’ve heard that there are fan fiction novels out there that are set in the SG world, but I haven’t read them yet. I’m worried that they won’t be as good as the real shows.

I also recently learned that there are comic books set in the Stargate universe. Might be worth checking out!(less)

Closing Sale!

Good afternoon,

With a heavy heart, I’ve decided to close my Etsy shop, Reprieve’s Corner. I’ve marked down all of my handmade crafts and crafting supplies to liquidation prices (50% off). I’ll continue to renew this discount rate until all of my current listings either sell or expire (Etsy charges us to renew listings).

www.etsy.com/shop/ReprievesCorner


I’ll continue to do the occasional craft fair

H.S. Contino Hi!

I just created a new "bookshelf" with a list of books relating to shipwrecks on the Pacific coast. I read most of these books while researching shipwrecks for my soon-to-be-release book, "Shipwrecks of Curry County."

Feel free to check them out. Maritime history is such a fascinating topic! I learn something new every time I pick up a new book to read. :)

H.S. Contino H. S. Contino is working hard on the final edits of her latest work, "Crossroads: A Quirky Choose Your Own Adventure". The novel will be available soon through Create Space: https://tsw.createspace.com/title/443... (note: the link may not work until the book is available for sale).
