Voyage and history of early settlers of Eleuthera explored in new book

Author Gabrielle F. Culmer announces publication of ‘The Eleutherian Voyagers and Beyond’

NEW YORK – In 1648, a group of 70 settlers set sail for the island of Eleutheria. After harsh conditions and strict laws, only 35 settlers remained. Gabrielle F. Culmer’s new book, “The Eleutherian Voyagers and Beyond: A Genealogical Study of Early Eleutherans” (published by iUniverse), explores the history of the families that decided to settle on what is now a small Bahamian island in search of new opportunities.

Culmer spent years crafting previous historical knowledge and carefully compiling research to clarify myths and examine the lives and genealogy of the small group of early settlers to Eleuthera. Within the pages of “The Eleutherian Voyagers and Beyond” are photographs of the undeveloped landscape they would have encountered on their expedition as well as details of the lives of the people who journeyed to the unknown island. Culmer provides answers as to why the settlers may have left their homes in Europe, what challenges they faced and how they survived the journey and eventual conditions of the island. Later journeys followed and a witness account depicts the perseverance of early members of the community.

“The Eleutherian Voyagers and Beyond” was written to assist in the understanding of the unity of different elements of families and learning about ancestors. The book also asserts the existence of those who later settled from other remote territories where records were challenging. Culmer hopes readers take away “an appreciation of the builders of a modern society, their contribution, the concept of voyages of the travelers to Eleuthera and who they were.”

Gabrielle F. Culmer announces release of ‘Restoring Patterns’

NEW YORK – “Restoring Patterns” (published by iUniverse), a modern, professional romance novel, follows a hardworking and enterprising couple as they rebuild their lives together on their path toward entrepreneurial achievement.  Overcoming reticence and obstacles with the support of family, colleagues and friends helps see the couple through as their relationship forms the foundation of their lives.

“I was inspired by professional achievements and the NY lifestyle,” author Gabrielle F. Culmer explains. “It can be an invigorating professional environment with artistic creativity. I wanted to expose the reader to aspects of life that the characters cherished.” Culmer takes readers on a descriptive journey of travels and was also motivated by her family’s former eveningwear business.

Set largely in the New York City fashion industry, “Restoring Patterns” sees Kascey Kann and Grady Chisholm grapple with their principles and push through their struggles in order to achieve success. Despite the unexpected setbacks that come their way, they forge a new life together as they prepare to take their relationship to the next level – marriage.

Through Kascey and Grady’s story, Culmer hopes readers see “That all is possible in life once you set your goals and have the right people to share your dreams. I would like to take the reader on a fantastic journey celebrated by two people just starting out with the world ahead of them.”

New novel sets sweeping love story on shores of Saint-Tropez

Mindy Croxie put up walls after her husband’s death. Can Blaine O’Neil and Saint-Tropez break them down?

NEW YORK – Celebrated author Gabrielle F. Culmer charms and enchants readers with her new novel that takes them from the busy streets of New York City to the pristine coastline of Saint Tropez in, “Arrive by Dusk” (published by Archway Publishing).

“I wanted a novel where the characters have progressed to international professional status in the city unlike anything I have written,” Culmer shares. “I was also inspired by NY professional life and French cultural life, including their art, food and monuments.”

International landscape artist Mindy Croxie is desperate for a change of pace. Widowed at 34 and still grieving for her husband, Lamont, Mindy decides to participate in an art show along the Mediterranean Sea in Saint-Tropez. When she arrives, Mindy bumps into Blaine O’Neil, an old friend and flame who is opening a new luxury hotel near her art show. 

Blaine has been wildly successful in his professional life, but his personal life is lacking. When he crosses paths with Mindy, Blaine sees this as an opportunity to pursue the life he once envisioned with Mindy. With Lamont and the life they should have lived still fresh in her mind, Mindy must decide if she is ready to let go of the past and embrace a new life and love.

Through her novel, Culmer hopes to instill an appreciation for the arts in readers. She says, “It is an attractive novel and after reading everyone will want some of Blaine’s ambition and Mindy’s stoicism in glamorous settings.”

"With Laughter we know that together we'll bring,
The hope that we search for when the New Year sings.
That blessed hour when the new wind blows,
We will know that it is the renewal in our hearts which flows."

"New Year's Bliss," from Blue Streams to Paradise  by Gabrielle F. Culmer.

Happy Father's Day!

“Father” 2^nd edition. By Gabrielle F. Culmer from Blue Streams to Paradise and also published in the Nassau Tribune for Father's day 2013.

Dear Father, I know that you have cared 

By showing the love which you have shared.

The guidance we have come to know,

Makes us all the persons you have raised.

Now we can say that we have experienced

Your way in life and tried for excellence,

To pattern along the ways you have taught

Aware that such talents cannot be bought.

So when your arms outreached do grow,

Further beyond what we have in store,

They guide us to where our lives should be,

This hand which guides so graciously.

For when in life we have reached our heights,

The ones which you have set in sight,

We will know that we have made it through,

That it is has been your work that has held through.
