Before Elizabeth Swann became a pirate captain in Walt Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Isabella was already captain of a pirate vessel in S.R. Staley's historical romance, The Pirate of Panther Bay (iZs Press, 2006). The complete, free eBook edition is now available at http://www.PantherBay.com. The pantherbay.com site has both free and exclusive content and should become one of the most comprehensive online resources on pirates and pirating. The web site already features reviews of seafaring and pirate books of fact and fiction; biographies of famous and not-so-famous pirates; information on ships, terminology, and pirate history; exclusive access to the author and his writing notes. Readers are calling The Pirate of Panther Bay, “a great adventure romance,” “an engaging swashbuckler,” and “a fun and exciting adventure book that the whole family can enjoy reading.” Reviewers are calling the novel “a grand high seas adventure any teen would love; many adults as well” and a book “that remains true to the real world of pirates and Spain’s desire to reign over the New World.”

Existential Video Sitcom Launched at PatchesAndJenny.com

Mon, 12 Mar 2007 18:17:17 GMT

URL: http://www.urlwire.com/news/031207.html
Created by Brothers Scott and Daniel Huot, the series is a short existential sitcom, starring the same two characters, Patches and Jenny, in every episode. The two don't talk about the guiding philosophies of life, they instead comedically jabber on about the mindless effluvia of pop culture and the strangeness of modern life. It is, in the words of one reviewer, "very fun and slightly insane."
