SEA WITCH
The Time : The Golden Age of Piracy - 1716.
The Place : The Pirate Round - from the South African Coast to the
sun drenched Islands of the Caribbean.
Escaping the bullying of his elder half-brother, from the age of
fifteen Jesamiah Acorne has been a pirate with only two loves - his ship and
his freedom. But his life is to change when he and his crewmates unsuccessfully
attack a merchant ship off the coast of South Africa.
He is to meet Tiola Oldstagh an insignificant girl, or so he
assumes - until she rescues him from a vicious attack, and almost certain
death, by pirate hunters. And then he discovers what she really is; a healer, a
midwife - and a white witch. Her name, an anagram of "all that is
good." Tiola and Jesamiah become lovers, but the wealthy Stefan van
Overstratten, a Cape Town Dutchman, also wants Tiola as his wife and Jesamiah's
jealous brother, Phillipe Mereno, is determined to seek revenge for resentments
of the past, a stolen ship and the insult of being cuckolded in his own home.
When the call of the sea and an opportunity to commandeer a
beautiful ship - the Sea Witch - is put in Jesamiah's path he must make a
choice between his life as a pirate or his love for Tiola. He wants both, but
Mereno and van Overstratten want him dead.
In trouble, imprisoned in the darkness and stench that is the
lowest part of his brother's ship, can Tiola with her gift of Craft, and the
aid of his loyal crew, save him?
Using all her skills Tiola must conjure up a wind to rescue her
lover, but first she must brave the darkness of the ocean depths and confront
the supernatural being, Tethys, the Spirit of the Sea, an elemental who will
stop at nothing to claim Jesamiah Acorne's soul and bones as a trophy.

Thank you Pauline.... I wish I really was sitting by your pool. A pint of wine is sorely needed today (LOl I'm having a 'one of those days' day!)
Hello Helen, I hope your day improves and here is a pint of wine... cheers :)
Fascinating answers, it's good to get to know the person behind the story. And talking of story, Sea Witch is brilliant!
Lovely to see Helen and Pauline sitting by the pool, pity I couldn't join in! xxx
Hello Cathy, do come on down, though I know you are so busy, sending a bottle to you :) *clinks glasses* xxx
