The Pirates of Pamlico Sound

The Pirates of Pamlico Sound is a novella available right here for free (see below) or on Lulu.com as a paperback hard copy. There's a quick opening chapter in Salem, MA. Then the rest takes place almost exclusively in locations around the Pamlico Sound / Outer Banks of North Carolina.

Synopsis: A woman finds her personal life and love life mysteriously interconnected with pirate and colonial items (and people) in this supernatural tale that alternates between modern times and the past. (Not an arrrg!-type pirate story.) Download the most awesomely formatted free eBook here (627k PDF). Or, if you prefer a nice paperback, go get it at LuLu.com. Rated "mature," but only for suggestiveness / sensuality (i.e., adult themes, not explicitness).

Actually, this book got me into a little hot water with my wife, if I recall correctly. She said I clearly "understood women" more than I normally let on -- and then extrapolated that, if this was true, then I have no excuse for being the primo asshole that I am sometimes. Well, if I successfully portrayed the female mind, maybe it was just a luck-shot. (And, I think maybe I'm perhaps less of an asshole now than I was then. ... Okay, maybe not.)
