The first book in the “TREASURES OF THE TIDES” trilogy, a new Blended Genre series by Charlene Keel and Charlie Most, mixes contemporary drama and historical adventure with the paranormal as it crosses back and forth through time, from the age of technology to the age of pirates.
After architect Jonathan West learns his wife has been unfaithful, he goes fishing in North Carolina’sOuter Banks, trying to figure out what to do about his marriage. He’s shocked when he sees a ghost ship with a spectral woman on board—and she’s staring athim, a haunting plea in her eyes. In an old sea chest that washes ashore, he finds a journal and a miniature portrait belonging to Kate Russell, captain of the Royal Thomas, which sank in 1721. It’s the same woman Jonathan saw on the ghost ship, and her journal describes in her own words a life of piracy and sweeping romance. As past and present collide, Jonathan starts seeing Kate everywhere. He knows she wants something from him and believes if he can find a way to help her, her spirit will finally rest.

Reviews
“Beautiful descriptions, page-turning excitement, and well-crafted characters . . . I was especially taken with the hero, Jonathan, and his acceptance of what might scare lesser men away. His story is one of self-discovery and reinvention. His desire to help 18th century pirate Kate unravel the secrets from her past and find her way to eternity is selfless, despite his own growing attraction. Kate is just as intriguing . . . the descriptions from her journal bring her history as a female ship’s captain to life. The authors’ voices blend seamlessly. . . kudos to Charlie Most and Charlene Keel for ushering us through the book without so much as a hiccup.”
