Of Sins and Sailors: Book 1

Cover art done by *drawfox5

Of Sins and Sailors: The Island of Redemption

Sitara is an average teenage girl growing up in her peaceful home in Willowbear Springs. She had been researching local myths on piracy during the 1700s, recently discovering information on a Captain Spectre Silverthorne. After her grandmother's death, Sitara begins to feel lonesome, returning to her thoughts she had previously began in a journal. Within is her novel- a story of pirates and twin stowaways, Castor and Pollux. It is the only thing left sacred to her aside from a necklace given to her by her grandmother. It is in this emerald amulet where her only memories of her grandmother still remain alive.

After an unexpected accident, Sitara finds herself stranded on a deserted island- her only company being that of her amulet and her journal. While on the island, however, Sitara meets many unsuspecting acquaintances- a strikingly handsome stranded passenger as herself, a pair of secretive cousins, a monster which lurks in the forests during the harvest moon, and two mischievous ferrets.

With the help of her new friends, Sitara will attempt to return home once more. However, on her time spent on this forsaken island, she will begin to learn of its secrets, and those of the mysterious Captain Silverthorne.

What's New


:new:Check out the (poorly made... but, oh well!) Of Sins and Sailors: The Songstress of Temptation trailer ! Full view it for better results:new:

Well, only two and a half chapters left until the conclusion of the second book, The Songstress of Temptation. Then the brutal process of editing... editing... and more editing... But, it will be worth it. I've been working steadily each day on Chapter 28-- hoping to complete it before the end of the month so that the editing can easily begin. It's going to take a while for that-- especially since this book is far longer than the first-- running at approximately 88798 words right now. Well! I'm off to work some more on it so that it can begin getting the first stages of editing-- I know there are some things I wanted to add/correct/change/remove. So, that's what I'm off to do!!

Also-- check out the rough sketch for The Songstress of Temptation's cover!
:new: Cait, being the crazy amazing person she is, finished coloring the cover^^ So, now you can all see the finished cover art for the second book! :new:

:pointr:

*drawfox5 keeps getting better, I swear ;) It's gorgeous, Cait! :love:

:bulletred: Also in sort of a debate against book 3's title... we kind of wanted something like "The Lord of _____" ...something for Drake (if you know who he is). Lord of Darkness was our original go-- but there's something about it I still don't like... And "The Heart of Deprivation" sounded a little, meh... SO! If any of you can help figure out a possible/time being title for the 3rd book, we would be eternally grateful^^
Thanks, guys!

~off to writing!

xXx

I am a high school graduate living in upstate New York with my mother, father, and younger brother. My hobbies consist of writing novels and poetry, as well as drawing and IMing my friends. I had many of my writings (both poetry and prose) published, my first piece being when I was 12 years of age, and since then have had many more. In total, I have had 9 poems published, 1 short story, 2 news articles, and 1 novel- and won 1st place with 1 short story and 1st and 3rd place with two poems.
My dream is to become an English major, and to possibly become an editor in the future. However, I will continue to write in my spare time, since it's my favorite pastime, and I'm always writing.
I think that my message to everyone is to never give up on your dream- since I pursued my first dream (of getting my novel published and some of my poetry). Only if you give up will your dreams die. If you keep going at it and never give up on yourself, your dreams will come true. You are the only person standing in the way of your desires.

Love you all always,
Erin :heart:
