The Curse, the first book in my Legend of Blackbeard's Chalice series, continues to be a great seller for me in print. This book is truly a book of my heart, conceived many years ago during a family vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Who cannot visit those barrier islands and not wonder about pirates and their stories? The Blackbeard books, a time-travel series, will not disappoint, I hope anyway! I love Jack and Claire's story so much that in a future book, I will return to them as characters.With the release of the third book in the series, The Quest, currently available in ebook only, I wanted to remind everyone of how the series got started.
Jack Porter is in hot pursuit of his kidnapped wife. Not an easy feat considering it is 1718 and the kidnapper is Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard. Determined to rescue her, Jack sneaks aboard the pirate's ship but is too late. His beloved Hannah dies in his arms.
Nearly 300 years in the future, Claire Winslow vacations on a secluded east coast island, where the image of a man walking the misty shores haunts her. He comes to her, kisses her, and disappears. The next night, they make love. But did they really? Or was it a dream. And why did he call her Hannah?
The Curse sends Jack and Claire on a wild search through time to possess a powerful historical artifact--the silver-plated chalice made from Blackbeard's skull. This chalice holds the key to their destiny and their love. Only with the chalice, can they reverse Blackbeard's Curse.
Or can they?
