CSCI book 5 – Disastrous Cruise Romance

Regular cruise ship guest, celebrity stuntman, director, and author Stuart St Paul has appeared in three James Bond films and was the Queen Alien in James Cameron’s hit movie.

His book CSCI series of novels has to date read like movies, been fast-paced, and had enough action for you not to recognise them as normal cruises. However, book 5, Disastrous Romance, was written in lockdown. It was a time when most of us were bored, and he challenged himself to draw a parallel between being mentally ill and being locked down. The premise of the book has the world coming out of lockdown and with it drawing out a woman who had been until then locked inside herself with a host of mental problems and agoraphobia. The twisted mind of the author who has had a star-studded career from Batman to Mrs Brown’s Boys’ puts this dangerous woman onto a ship.
Like Ian Fleming who wrote in his favourite place in the sun, his home on Oracabessa Bay in Jamaica, Stuart normally writes in the lounge of a cruise ship looking out at a similar horizon where the sea meets the sky. Parallels end there, for Fleming’s house was on a cliff overlooking a private bay and Stuart enjoys being interrupted by guests in his very public ship’s lounge where he writes each day.
Disastrous romance is out as a Kindle, paperback, and as audiobook; the first to be read in a female voice. It is read by his wife Jean Heard, who is often on the ships with him performing her one-woman show.
