The Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy by Diane Preston will be released as a Kindle edition on May 5. Cheops Books will award one free copy to the winner of the contest. All you need to do is describe what you would do if you were on the Lusitania and you knew that you had only 18 minutes to escape. Would you jump overboard? Would you try to launch one of the lifeboats even though the ship was listing to starboard? Would you try to stay on the highest place on the deck, hoping that you would be rescued by the British Navy? Can you swim? You would be about six miles off the coast on a day where it was warm and sunny. The water temperature was in the upper 50’s. Write your paragraph and let us know on May 1 during the May Day Party for Key to Lawrence Special Edition on Facebook.
