Book Blurb
Pirates.
Explorers. And spooky ghost hunters.
It’s 1962. Sam
and her best friend, Nick, have the whole island of St. John ,
in the U. S. Virgin Islands, as their playground. They’ve got 240 year-old
sugar plantation ruins to explore, beaches to swim, and trails to hike.
But when a man
disappears like a vapor right in front of them, they must confront a scary new
reality. They’re being haunted. By whom? And why? He’s even creeping into
Nick’s dreams.
They need help,
but the one who might be able to give it is Trumps, a reclusive hunchback who
doesn’t like people, especially kids. Are Sam and Nick brave enough to face
him? And if they do, will he listen to them?
Their carefree
summer games turn into eerie hauntings, and Sam and Nick learn more about
themselves and life than they could ever have imagined.
Pre-order today and enter the ghostly tale as soon as it releases.
Bish
Denham, whose mother’s side of the family has been in the Caribbean for over one
hundred years, was raised in the U. S. Virgin Islands. She still has lots of
family living there whom she visits regularly.
She
says, “Growing up in the islands was like living inside a history book. Columbus named the islands, Sir Francis Drake sailed
through the area, and Alexander Hamilton was raised on St.
Croix . The ruins of hundreds of sugar plantations, built with the
sweat and blood of slave labor, litter the islands. Then there were the pirates
who plied the waters. It is within this atmosphere of wonder and mystery, that
I grew up. Life for me was magical, and through my writing I hope to pass on
some of that magic.”
The Bowl and the Stone: A Haunting
Tale from the Virgin Islands , is her
third book and second novel. You can find Anansi
and Company: Retold Jamaican Tales and A
Lizard’s Tail, at Amazon.com.
