Sea Pirates - A Game to Go With Your Novel

I've done something that probably isn't fair. And it's sneaky.

I've gone a built a pirate world for you to play in. It's a game.

Pirate Jack - About the Novel

Young Jack Spencer sees his father's boat-building business destroyed by a powerful land developer. In desperation, he sets out on a dangerous adventure through time to find pirate treasure and bring it home.

When Jack finds himself aboard the pirate ship Revenge with Captain Jameson's crew, he enters a life and death world of ship battles, jungle islands, prison escapes, gold, and treachery.

The novel contains voilence and is best suited for listeners 13 years old and higher. However, with parental discretion, younger readers will certainly enjoy the story.

Pirate Jack - A Podcast Novel (Introduction)

'Pirate Jack' is an adventure novel originally published in 2000 by CandlelightStories.com in serialized format. It was offered to readers who signed up for weekly chapters that were sent via email. So many schools and teachers signed up for chapters that I decided to offer the book as a PDF file on the Candlelight web site. It has been there ever since.

Now I am offering this tale of a boy's seafaring adventure in audio format. Once again, it will be offered chapter by chapter.

I hope you enjoy this relatively short book. You can send email to me at info@candlelightstories.com if you have comments or suggestions.

Thank you for listening.
