Nancy Caldwell uncovers a pirate mystery that had the Old Salts of Cape Cod wondering for close to 300 years in the historical fiction, The Old Cape House. Was she lucky or a good detective? Nancy returns in The Old Cape Teapot, the second in a series, to uncover the trails of two survivors from the wreck of the 1717 pirate ship Whydah. Armed with the knowledge that in pirate culture the looted riches were equally shared, she takes us to the tropical island of Antigua and back to Cape Cod searching for clues to more treasure. Using alternating chapters from the 18th to the 21st century, danger and conspiracy follow her at every turn. What will help her this time? During a sunset stroll across Brewster’s tidal flats on Cape Cod, author Barbara Eppich Struna found a blue–flowered pottery shard from an old dinner plate. An avid storyteller, several “What if this piece was...” or “Maybe it belonged to...” scenarios sparked her imagination. Barbara felt compelled to continue the story of the Bellamy/Hallett legend and the adventures of contemporary Nancy Caldwell in her second historical fiction, The Old Cape Teapot. barbarastruna.blogspot.com strunagalleries.com
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: When the author and her husband Tim, a professional artist, turned forty in the late 1980s, they moved from Ohio with their three teenagers to an old 1880 house in Brewster on Cape Cod. The Cape’s history and brilliant natural light drew them in; this was a place where Tim would paint and Barbara could write. A storyteller at heart, Barbara’s imagination took flight after she unearthed a mysterious pattern of red bricks under ten inches of soil behind her barn and found a beautiful blue-flowered pottery shard on the tidal flats of Brewster. She conjured up a connection to an old Cape legend about Maria Hallett and her pirate lover Sam Bellamy, captain of the wrecked ship The Whydah. These unanticipated events catapulted Barbara onto a journey that led to the writing of a series of old Cape stories featuring contemporary character Nancy Caldwell. She is currently a Member in Letters of the National League of American Pen Women and belongs to two writing groups. She also is a contributing writer to Primetime Magazine. Always a journal writer, she is fascinated by history and writes a blog about the unique facts and myths of Cape Cod. strunagalleries.com barbarastruna.blogspot.com
