The Riverboat Phantom features a steamboat pilot still trying to prevent a long-ago disaster. In The Knight in the Shadows, a Renaissance French squire protects a sword on display at a New York City museum.   Eboch is also the author of The Well of Sacrifice, a middle-grade Mayan adventure, used in many schools and praised by Kirkus Reviews as “[An] engrossing first novel . . . [that] shines not only for a faithful recreation of an unfamiliar, ancient world, but also for the introduction of a brave, likable and determined heroine.”   Her other books include nonfiction and two inspirational biographies in the Childhood of Famous Americans series, Jesse Owens: Young Record Breaker, and Milton Hershey: Young Chocolatier, written under the name M. M. Eboch. Her writing articles have appeared in Writer’s Digest, Children’s Writer, and Byline.
