Isle of Swords (2007)
A wave crashes like the echo of cannon fire. A young lad awakens, salt water stinging sharply in the wounds gouged across his back. Alone and brutally injured, he has no memory of his past
not even his name. Within a small leather pouch lay his only clues: a sparkling green jewel, a lock of red hair, and a rusty iron cross. The lad's search will force him to come between two of the Caribbean's most notorious pirates.
Captain Bartholomew Thorne. His very name conjures horrific images: bodies tortured and heaped upon the shore, colonial settlementsonce bustling with activitynow still, as the tide runs red, and looted passenger ships set ablaze and left to burn while sharks circle and wait. Captain Thorne's ruthless tactics put him on the trail of the one treasure that has eluded him. A treasure so immense that with it, Thorne would create a pirate fleet more powerful than any naval force in the world.
But standing in his way is Captain Declan Ross. An ex-privateer turned pirate, Ross seeks the one big score that will free him from the piracy business forever. His ship is battered, his half-starved crew is losing faith, and his headstrong daughter Anne wants desperately to be a pirate in spite of her father's wishes.
When a mysterious priest, rescued from a doomed monastery, claims to know the way to a legendary treasure, Ross begins a thousand mile journeya race that will bring his crew, the lad with no name, and the infamous Capt. Thorne into the presence of riches that will change them all forever. Storms rage, a long dormant volcano awakens, and creatures of dark legend slither in the deep as the race begins for a cliff top castle on the Isle of Swords.

 Hi, all! No, I'm not messing with you. I have had some intensifying thoughts lately, prompting me to revisit The Realm. I'm considering writing a 50,000 word novella based on The Door Within Universe. I spent about 2 hours the other night jotting down the first possibilities, and I'm getting kind of psyched about them.
I have no contract for it yet. I haven't even mentioned it to my publisher. I have no idea whether it will be a reality or not. As you know, I'm hugely busy with two other books right now, so I have no idea when I could even find the time. I only know that God is faithful, and if He wants it written, the time will be there.
So...where do you come in? Well, I've created a poll in my sidebar to ask you for the direction you'd most like a Door Within 4 to go. Well, have at it. Please feel free to comment once you've cast your vote.
And as always, Never alone.
