A prequel short read story to the Sea Witch Voyages of
Captain Jesamiah Acorne
When the only choice is to run, where do you run to?
When the only sound is the song of the sea, do you listen?
Or do you drown in the embrace of a mermaid?
Throughout childhood, Jesamiah Mereno has suffered the bullying of his elder half-brother. Then, not quite fifteen years old, and on the day they bury their father, Jesamiah hits back. In consequence, he flees his Virginia home, changes his name to Jesamiah Acorne, and joins the crew of his father’s seafaring friend, Captain Malachias Taylor, aboard the privateer, Mermaid.
He makes enemies, sees the ghost of his father, wonders who is the Cornish girl he hears in his mind – and tries to avoid the beguiling lure of a sensuous mermaid...
An early coming-of-age tale of the young Jesamiah Acorne, set in the years before he becomes a pirate and Captain of the Sea Witch.
“Ms Hollick has skilfully picked up the threads that she alludes to in the main books and knitted them together to create a Jesamiah that we really didn't know.” Richard Tearle senior reviewer, Discovering Diamonds
“Captain Jesamiah Acorne is as charming a scoundrel as a fictional pirate should be. A resourceful competitor to Captain Jack Sparrow!” Antoine Vanner author
“Helen Hollick has given us the answer to that intriguing question that Jesamiah fans have been aching for – how did he start his sea-going career as a pirate?” Alison Morton, author
“I really enjoyed the insight offered into Jesamiah's backstory, and found the depiction of our teenage hero very moving.” Anna Belfrage, author
“I loved this little addendum to the Jesamiah series. I always had a soft spot for the Lorelei stories and enjoyed that the author cleverly brought her over from the Rhine valley to fit into the story.” Amazon Reviewer

Everyone assumes that ghosts are hostile. Actually, most of them are not.
You either believe in ghosts or you don’t. It depends on whether you’ve encountered something supernatural or not. But when you share a home with several companionable spirits, or discover benign ghosts in public places who appear as real as any living person, scepticism is abandoned and the myth that all ghosts are to be feared is realised as nonsense.
In GHOST ENCOUNTERS: The Lingering Spirits Of North Devon, mother and daughter share their personal experiences, dispelling the belief that spirits are to be feared, while including snippets of interesting history about North Devon and some of the people of the past...
(Includes a bonus of two short stories and photographs connected to North Devon)
"...an utterly captivating blend of travel guide & personal memoir not just for those intrigued by the paranormal - also a beautifully written tribute to the magic of North Devon, its past, and its present. Whether planning a visit or simply looking for a delightfully eerie escape, Ghost Encounters is an absolute must-read. Hollick has crafted a truly special book—one that lingers in the mind like the very spirits she so wonderfully brings to life." Amazon reader
"If you enjoy your history, then you will love this book. I have a long held interest in both History and the Paranormal. The history in this book is very well researched and the descriptions of the paranormal engaging. Kathy Hollick's accounts of the spirits she encounters were fascinating, believable and struck a chord with me. I have a long association with Mediums, most parlour tricksters, one outright fraud and a few where the jury is out. One lady, however, was genuine and Ms Hollick's accounts and experiences sound very similar.
I have no hesitation in recommending this book to those who enjoy history and/or the paranormal."
