Bloody Jayne Barton
A tale of vengeance, swashbuckling, and fishing during the Golden Age of Piracy.
There's blood in the water, on the beach, and just about everywhere else Jayne Barton visits.
On a tiny island near a forgotten coast, a father teaches his daughter three things: how to fish, a mariner’s rigid code of honor, and the art of swordplay. For seventeen summers, it seems enough. Then, in the summer of the year 1700, the aging Spanish pirate Arquebuz arrives with a galleon full of cutthroats, intent on settling an old score. In moments, young Jayne Barton is an orphan, wounded and wild. Her escape quickly turns to pursuit as she sets off on a quest for the justice her old Da' would've wanted. With only her father’s cutlass in hand, Jayne battles her way through the dark corners of colonial America, a land crawling with bounty hunters, brigands, and redcoats. She is joined on her quest by a series of allies, including Truance, a brash young marksman, and Rose, a mystic just discovering her powers. But even with the aid of a like-minded crew, Jayne finds that revenge is so simple task. As she trails her quarry from Newfoundland to Nassau, the truth of her father's legacy begins to reveal itself. Jayne’s story becomes part of a larger one: a tale of piracy and intrigue. To avenge her Da', Jayne must do more than battle a veteran killer. She must learn how to lead, and confront the brutal violence of her own nature.

A Primer chock full of chewy bits of life experience and salty observations.
I wrote this short textbook to serve as an aid to all the young gentlemen who are having a difficult time in relationships. Before you even get started thinking about what an arrogant bastard I am, let me just say this: 90% of the examples of common mistakes I discuss are drawn from my personal experience. Which is to say, hindsight rocks. The advice in this text has been field tested, and comes to you straight from the twisted up confines of my heart.
It's funny, honest, and might even be useful. Or just good reading if you happen to already be drunk.
There is a learning curve to expressing love and respect and making good decisions, and all I'm trying to do is give some of the fellas a little assist on the steeper part of that curve.
Due for a revised release soon.
