For most of my life I have wondered and speculated about the possibility that there might be survivors of the Titanic that no one knew about. In the most recent movie, much was made of the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio had won his ticket in a card game, so there was no record of him as a passenger. I wondered if there were survivors who got off the great ship unknown to anyone.

They would be presumed to have drowned; their bodies never recovered. That was the basis for "The Last Titanic Story." To carry it further, I speculated these survivors went on to have descendants of mixed native blood.

All speculation but an intriguing subject for a thriller, don't you think?
