Just when things aboard the Dreadnaught have settled down to relative harmony among the crew, and the goal of finding a place to call home in Alaska seems within reach—the unthinkable happens. Now, Stella Madison and friends must discover if they have what it truly takes to survive in the wilderness, whatever that illusive quality may be.

Here is a collection of the four Stella Madison Capers covering the entire voyage of the Dreadnaught, through the Inside Passage to Alaska. Includes: Sea Trials, The Pushover Plot, Lost in the Wilderness, and The Last Resort. Also includes a brief account of Lilly Maytree's true-life voyage along the same route, in the sailboat Glory B.

Stella Madison begins to enjoy her journey through Canada as a crew member of the Dreadnaught, delighted that it really isn't as hard as she thought it would be. Especially with Colonel Oliver P. Henry along. But traveling together for any length of time brings out the true nature of people. Misunderstandings can flare, rough edges get exposed, and maybe even the deepest of secrets revealed. One can put up with anything for awhile. But if ever a traitor is discovered among such a group...t...

Winter in some of Alaska's deepest wilderness has made many changes in the crew of the Dreadnaught, as well as the ship, itself. And while Stella has come to love the amazing place they were stranded in, a series of unavoidable circumstances forces the misfit family into making the most difficult decision any of them ever faced. It is the kind one hopes they never come to, and the hardest to make. It is... the last resort.

They set out in a monstrosity of a sailboat, called the Dreadnaught (that has obviously seen better days), with an old captain-turned-inventor at the helm, and each one of them signed on as a member of the crew. But Stella has never set foot on a boat in her life, and Alaska is over a thousand miles away--through wilderness places--before they even get there. Here is t...

Here is the first of the Stella Madison Capers! It's the story of how everything started and how she escaped from a catastrophe that seemed to come out of nowhere. Which is the nature of catastrophes but it's so hard to be logical when you're in the middle of one. It's also the story of how she met the colonel (if you're interested in that sort of thing).

Stella Madison is back!This time with a bevy of friends. But just how far should a person go when it comes to sticking by their friends? There's a thief in the rambling old mansion she moved into. Someone who was quick to lend help when Stella needed it most. But how can she return the favor without jeopardizing herself? No one is obligated to go that far... right?
