in quest of destiny, truth and treasure - Beyond Beauport by James Masciarelli

"A really fun modern day pirate story! Shannon finds out she's descended from real life pirates, so it's the beginning of an adventure. Her Uncle Paddy helps her research the history, and she learns the ropes of captaining his boat." Lee, Goodreads

Published: July 2018

Shannon Clarke raised a family and worked waterfront jobs in America’s oldest seaport.

Her childhood dream to become a sea captain is revived when her long-lost seafaring uncle Patrick visits with a salty tale of their maritime family ancestry of pirates and privateers. 
He shares recovered family letters and artifacts from the Golden Age of Piracy. 

They take to the sea in Patrick’s brigantine to follow the siren song of their ancestors in quest of destiny, truth and treasure. The voyage is fraught with raw forces of nature, past traumas and present day sea robbers, as their talents and beliefs of family, identity and purpose are shaken to the core.

"Vivid descriptions, organized storyline, realistic dialog and common sense characters, along with bits of the unexpected make this a wonderful book to sit down with and visit a different world. This book is today, the past, realism and fantasy, the perfect formula for a good story. " Texas, Goodreads
