Tomorow -
Monday July 7 from noon to 3 p.m. - is my first official book signing for book 2 in my Mermaids of Cape Cod
series! Yes, I'm excited! Oh, and yesh, I'll have copies of the first
book on hand for signing and purchase as well!
I'm
traveling to P-town, out at the very tip of Cape Cod, to the famous
pirate museum. I had two wonderful book signings there last summer and
am hoping for a few more this summer!

From the Museum's website:
Commanded by the famed pirate Sam Bellamy, the Whydah was wrecked off Wellfleet in 1717, taking with her the treasures of fifty plundered ships.
According to Cape Cod legend, Bellamy was returning to his lady-love,
Maria Hallett, the “Witch of Wellfleet”, when his ship met disaster in
one of the worst storms to strike the eastern seaboard.
Only two men of 146 made it to the beach alive, making the Whydah wreck the worst ever on the shores of the Cape.
Bellamy’s loss was history’s gain, however, as the contents of his
once-proud flagship represent a unique look into the lives of the
pirates, and an unprecedented cross-cultural sampling of treasures from
the world of the 18th century.
Discovered by underwater explorer Barry Clifford, this archaeological
shipwreck recovery project has been named a National Geographic Society
“Special Event”, and our Provincetown Museum is the headquarters for
our ongoing underwater archaeological missions.
