Book Blurb:
Over a year has passed since Jim Morgan outwitted the King of Thieves and escaped from London with his friends, Lacey and the Brothers Ratt. Now, at long last, Jim is ready to return home to Morgan Manor.
But a dark vision haunts Jim’s dreams – a Crimson Storm with the face of a black skull. Soon, Jim is thrust into a deadly race against his father’s old enemies, Count Cromier and his son, Bartholomew. This time, he will face terrors beyond his imagination – pirate battles, hidden islands, sorcerers, and sea monsters.
New foes and magic forces will tempt and test Jim. For there are terrible secrets he has yet to learn, secrets about his father, the Treasure of the Ocean, and his own incredible destiny…
Adventure has a new name – Jim Morgan!
I’ve met a great many authors over the years who have told me writing villains are far more enjoyable than writing heroes. I agree completely! The inner rebel of every author loves to inhabit the skin of a good villain, one who leaves nothing off the table, no rule unbroken, and no depth left unsunk – it can be a thrilling experience. Heroes, on the other hand, must be at least a bit more restrained, possessing of a code, and holding the moral high ground. Because of this, there are many times when heroes come across as well…a little boring. When I wrote the Jim Morgan novels, I wanted to write a hero that at least bent that mold, if not broke it completely.
