Ghosts of the Sea Moon Blurb
In the
Outer Islands, gods and magic rule the ocean.
Under
the command of Captain Rafe Morrow, the crew of the Celestial Jewel ferry souls
to the After World and defend the seas from monsters. Rafe has dedicated his
life to protecting the lost, but the tides have shifted and times have changed.
His
sister, the Goddess of the Moon, is on a rampage and her creatures are
terrorizing the islands. The survival of the living and dead hinge on the
courage and cunning of a beleaguered captain and his motley crew of men and
ghosts.
What he
doesn’t know is that her threat is part of a larger game. That an ancient,
black-winged malevolence is using them all as pawns…
Come
set sail with ghosts, gods and sea monsters.

Author Bio:
A steadfast and proud sci-fi and
fantasy geek, A. F. Stewart was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada and
still calls it home. The youngest in a family of seven children, she always had
an overly creative mind and an active imagination. She favours the dark and
deadly when writing—her genres of choice being fantasy and horror—but she has
been known to venture into the light on occasion. As an indie author she’s
published novels, novellas and story collections, with a few side trips into
poetry.
Excerpt:
The
Captain
Captain Rafe Morrow paced the
quarterdeck of his ship, Celestial Jewel,
the signs of an oncoming squall setting him on edge. Blustering wind
rattled the sails and the crew’s nerves, their usual jaunty hubbub reduced to
grumbling and snipes. Trouble travelled on that wind. Rafe could smell it woven
in the air, and his blood prickled with a sense of worry. The ship trembled as
if with warning. He glared at the sky and its darkening clouds painted amber
and crimson from the setting sun. A storm sky coming ahead of a full moon meant
dark magic and sea monsters would prowl the waves this night.
The Moon Goddess will hold sway tonight.
A trickle of blue energy raced
across the back of his hand at the thought.
Damn her…and her beasts.
On the breath of a sigh, he
whirled to face his crew. “Storm’s coming, boys. Doesn’t bode well, not with
the moonrise tonight.”
“How long, Captain? Will we be in
the thick of the weather or just what comes after?” A rough-edged sailor, Pinky
Jasper, spoke up, but all ears of the deck crew listened for an answer.
“It’s coming within an hour or
two, out from Raven Rock, by my reckoning. After nightfall by certain. We’re
heading in, boys, but we’ll likely hit the edge of it.” He heaved a breath,
exhaling. “It’ll be a bad one even for this crew so expect trouble.”
A shiver of tension settled over
the deck. Some of the crew cast worried glances at the sea and each other.
Others shivered, and a few more whispered prayers. Storms brought bad memories
and nervous anticipation to the sailors of this ship.
“Which port then, Captain?” The
mariner at the ship’s wheel chimed in. “Might make Abersythe if we head north.”
“We might, Anders. But we head
east. We’ll race the edge of the tempest, but it’s closer and the ship will
find better shelter anchored at Crickwell Island.”
“Aye, sir. Laying in course to
Crickwell Island.” One-Eyed Anders turned the wheel and the ship’s bones
groaned. Others of the crew adjusted the sails, and the Celestial Jewel leaned into her new bearing headed east.
