Author Nelson Aspen will release his new historical fantasy, Kindred Spirits: A Titanic Tale on March 18. Inspired by his own metaphysical connections to a lost passenger on the famed ocean liner, Aspen’s release is timed with the 113th anniversary commemoration. Aspen’s book gives a queer side to the tale of the Titanic.
Kindred Spirits: A Titanic Tale spans time between the night in 1912 when Titanic met her tragic fate and a hedonistic party scene of modern Manhattan. Aspen’s story centers on love and redemption denied to gay men by the constraints of the Edwardian world into which they were born. From rubbing elbows with the “Unsinkable” Molly Brown, John Jacob Astor and other iconic figures from the so-called Ship of Dreams to metropolitan globe-trotting in an effort to unravel the mystery of their metaphysical connection, the book’s two gay heroes are kindred spirits.
Nelson Aspen is an award winning journalist, author and co-host of the Titanic Talk podcast and appears regularly on GB News as a political commentator. His book, Your Home is Your Castle: Live Like an A-Lister in a Post Pandemic World debuted at No. 1 on Amazon’s Home Remodel & Renovation charts and his semi-autobiographical series Dancing Between the Raindrops will soon see another sequel to complete the trilogy. He lives in New York City. Learn more about the author at NelsonAspen.com.
