Who I'd like to meet: People who enjoy life, question things and care about the planet. People who make me laugh. I can't be doing with people who see doom and gloom everywhere.
THE TIME: the Golden Age of Piracy 1716 THE PLACE: the Pirate Round, from the African coast to the islands of the Caribbean. THE HERO: Captain Jesamiah Acorne THE HEROINE: A White Witch, Tiola Oldstagh – and the ship herself, the SEA WITCH! THE BOOKS: the SEA WITCH SERIES by HELEN HOLLICK
If you liked the Pirates of the Caribbean movies & you enjoy a darn good read you'll like these novels. SEA WITCH is full to the scuppers with high sea adventure, fantasy, and a dash of romance - all hoisted together with meticulous historical & nautical research to provide an exciting 'can't put down' read!
Why not row across to m’blog & read an excerpt or two?

The Irish Government are building the M3 Motorway in the immediate vicinity of the Hill of Tara in Ireland causing immense damage to prehistoric sites that are very important to the history of Ireland. Soem sites have already been destroyed and are gone forever.
