The soft light from the lantern could still be seen through a crack in the door of the captain s cabin. Barely breathing, but aware of the pounding of their own hearts, First Mate John Henry and Cookey, the ship s cook, cautiously pressed their ears against the cold, wooden door. After hearing a series of loud snores, they silently crept in. The two men, fired by fear and desperation, quietly closed the door behind them, their eyes seeking out shapes in the half-light of the lantern. Their mission was as simple as it was dangerous: Murder the captain. But why?

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Author's Notes: This evil table IS REAL. IT can be found in Parinacota, Chile inside the tiny village's adobe church. Still today, the people who live in Parinacota keep the little wooden table chained to a wall to prevent it from roaming the streets and stealing innocent souls. The picture on the back cover is the ACTUAL table and the church that houses it today. When I was looking for a story to write, I was inside the church of Paranicota with my family. We asked the church-keeper why the ugly, old table was chained. The old man replied, "The table, it is evil, it drags itself down the street and next morning someone inside the house is dead. You see? Look! The one leg, it is shorter from dragging itself. Evil lives in it." I became interested in why the table was evil and since when. No one from the little village knew the answer. Hence, I created that story. I started in modern day, and somehow ended up back in time, in 1712. I love the bygone days of tall ships so I got the idea and created the tall ship. Now, I needed a name for her and had already decided that it would also be the name of my novel. She was a carrack, grand and majestic, built in 1683. I searched the web to find what astronomic discovery was made that year: 'Stellar Wind'. (Stellar wind is a flow of gas ejected from the upper atmosphere of a star).To be as accurate as possible, I studied what sailors and people wore and ate back then, which ports were friendly, what was traded to and from the different ports, where pirates normally raided ships and their pirate lingo. It was important to know religious customs and where natives were uprising against the white man. The Mayans are weaved into the story along with Pacal Votan, the Long Count Calendar, the Dying World of the Fourth Sun, the different tribes in South America and more. This research was not only fun for me but also very enlightening. I hope that you enjoy Stellar Wind's adventure as much as I enjoyed writing it. This item is printed on demand.
