Land Ho! Ye have docked at Privateer Dragons' Island port.  Shiver me timbers! Who goes there? Me thinks it be another wayward minnow in need of mirth and merriment. Ye be a fortunate soul indeed, happenin' upon the uncharted port o' call referred to by pirates as Privateer Dragons' Island, secret hiding place of the good-natured Privateers Dragons of the Caribbean, Admiral Laktos the Intolerable and Captain Cuckoo. We be privateers who travel the pirate festival and renaissance faire circuit.

If ye be ready for adventure, then set sail with our mateys aboard our square-rigger, the Morning Star. It be time for shore leave and we be headin' for the nearest pirate festivals and renaissance faires. Once we dock, ye'll be meetin' all sorts of pirates, privateers and scurvy dogs. But though some be heavily armed, ye needn't be afeared, they won't make ye walk the plank after your first time to faire, and their squawkin' parrots won't bite ye if'n ya gives 'em a cracker.

Before the captain shouts "anchors aweigh!" of Privateer Dragons' Island ta get yer bearings.

Dreams of Betrayal, Chapter 15

We Privateers love a good book, so we decided it'd be good of us to provide readin' entertainment to our mateys by giving ye free access to author Steve R. Romano's Dreams of Betrayal fantasy adventure series. About every week, we be featuring a new chapter for ye to read right here.

If ye missed the last week's chapter, fret not. Read it here.

Sal was in the galley taking his turn fixing the crew's meal. He opted for an old family recipe called Chicken Monella-a tasty dish made with diced fowl, a splash of sherry, and mushrooms smothered in a creamy tomato sauce. Captain Caruso stood on the rear deck and went over the completed repairs with Raziel and Juda. Most of the damage had been repaired, and the ship was once more ready for the open ocean. "Now that the ship is seaworthy, it's time we go in search of Laktos. Raziel. Bring up whatever supplies you think we might need for three to four days ashore." "Aye, captain," he answered enthusiastically; but before he could finish his sentence, a sudden shout of alarm came from Yennek perched high up in the crow's nest.

Take Heed, Me Hearties

For those of ye who have enjoyed the first two books, there be good news. The third in the Dreams of Betrayal series will be ready for press soon. The book be revealin' answers to questions raised in both the first book and Realm of Nightmares. Arrrr, me thinks yer goin' ta really enjoy this treasure.
