Calusa Spirits
Pirates vs. Indians?
In this thrilling third installment in the Pirate of Panther Bay series, Isabella and Juan Carlos continue to be hunted by Viceroy Rodriguez and his fleet. After a narrow escape from a trap set off the southern shores of Cuba, they flee up the west coast of Florida.
Desperate for supplies, Isabella leads a search for a trading post near the Caloosahatchee River (near modern-day Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and Sanibel Island). As they snake their way through the shoals and shallow rivers of Florida's gulf coast and the Everglades, they make contact with a tribe of Calusa Indians long thought to have been enslaved or banished from Florida.
In this gripping, fast-paced story, Isabella's adventures in Florida may represent the first confrontation between native Americans and pirates in historical fiction. She must navigate linguistic and cultural differences to ensure the survival of herself and her crew. With each challenge and battle, her destiny and the truth behind her mother's prophecy is finally revealed.
Readers get more than an adventure and swashbuckling high-seas adventure with Calusa Spirits. They will also be introduced to the proud and rich cultural history of one of Florida's most historically significant indigenous American tribes.
Another genre-bending award winner, Calusa Spirits earned a silver medal in the category of historical fiction from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association.
