Book 1 in the Vampirates series is now submitted. It is called Demons of the Ocean and here is the book description: Brief Synopsis: When twins Connor and Grace's ship is wrecked in a storm and Connor is rescued by pirates, he believes that Grace has been taken aboard the mythical Vampirate's ship, and he is determined to find her. Long Synopsis: Twins, Connor and Grace, never dreamed that there was any truth to the Vampirate shanty their father sang to them before he died, but that was before the two were shipwrecked and separated from each other. For Connor, who is taken aboard a pirate ship, there's the chance to learn to swordfight, but for Grace, aboard a mysterious ship of vampire pirates, the danger is great. What will it take for them to find each other? -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: And the World Closed Its Doors by David Clay Large See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html
