@YARomance Undiscovered Book of the Month, December 2022 Multiple times featured. The magic of first love, set against the backdrop of a small island hidden beneath a mysterious fog. At first sight, the tiny Foggy Island promises Liam an uneventful summer, with the haunting prospect of starting a new school at the end of it. But does this magical, sleepy place hide something else? Is there something, someone lurking beneath the fog, expecting him? Maybe an old mystery waiting to be solved? Trigger warning: An old case of suicide is mentioned in the story. It is a part of the unsolved mystery from the Victorian Era and doesn't directly affect any of the main characters. This story was crafted around three short words : a broken key, an old book, a smell of rain.

Do you want to create amazing stories people will love? Are you looking for objective ways to analyze your story to make sure it's working, or figure out why it's not? Are you curious about different ways of outlining editing or outlining a story? If you've answered "yes" to any or all of these questions then this book is for you. The Perfect Story is the synthesis of knowledge I've gained from the sources listed below. I encourage everyone to read these for themselves, but in the mean time it's my hope that I can save you a considerable amount of time, and perhaps shed new light on the information these masters of storytelling have given us.

There is nothing worse for a pirate than dying on dry land. Except, maybe, swinging two feet above it. When their captain is imprisoned, facing the gallows, the men and women of the Lady Lesya's crew will try everything to break him out--even if it means fighting guards in ridiculous uniforms, bargaining with overweight monsters, and risking the life of the more or less innocent. Add vengeful local thugs, a mysterious killer with a grudge, and some unexpected ghosts to this already perilous task, and the streets of Puerto Seguro turn into a bloodbath. To get out of the town alive, the brethren of the coast will have to act not just as a crew, but as a family. ___________________ As it's a pirate story not created by Disney, expect strong language, violence, gore, and allusion to sex. But also humor, strong characters, and a touch of love. The story, three years and a half in the making, is now complete (and under revision). ____________________ Magnificent cover by @Tweeter109 Awesome headers by @FayLane
