  “Be sure to give this to the most trustworthy man staying behind. Should Captain O'Shea ever return, I wish him to receive this,” she instructed as she handed him the folded letter.

  “Aye, Captain.”

  * * *

  The morale of the crew increased greatly once the Siren Song was back at sea with a new and exotic destination for the journeying. Putting off the sloth and lethargy of land dwelling life eased all of their hearts, even that of their fair captain, though Grace still struggled with the fresh wounds upon her heart. For weeks into the voyage she continued to lapse into periods of misery. At those times she tended to drown her sorrows in the available rum and keep herself shut up in her cabin. She knew that she had chosen correctly by leaving Liam to the woman with the stronger claim, but that knowledge did not make her battered heart ache any less.

  As the Siren Song rounded Cape Horn and turned westward for the first time since leaving the Caribbean, Grace O'Malley finally felt at peace. She stood in command of her ship with the wind in her face and the Pacific before her.

  The rest of the crew had come topside to watch the sun set one last time into the Atlantic. All eyes were forward, towards the future, except those of Bartolo. His gaze rested back to the east and to a past not forgotten.

  About the Author

  Michelle Stinson Ross has scribbled and made up wild tales most of her life. She never really outgrew her childhood penchant for building castles and lands of legend from the everyday world around her. A voracious reader, she rarely picks up a book she doesn't like.

  For several years she worked at being a respectable adult, earning a Bachelors Degree in Business Communication, raising three daughters, and building a career in marketing. But as the children grew up and the career progressed, the drive to create those wild tales never left her. An active blogger and social media addict, Michelle has been feverishly working on several story ideas, a podcast and a new blog to serialize the work of dreams.

  Revenge of the Siren Song is the debut tale in a series that spans from the Golden Age of Piracy into an adventure-packed steampunk world. Two full-length novels are currently in the works for the Rogues of Sea and Sky series. Treasure of the Sun Stone picks up where Revenge of the Siren Song leaves off, continuing the historical adventures of Captain Grace O’Malley and her crew. The current working title of the 4th book in the series, Where Redemption Lies, will be a treasure hunting romance in a steampunk setting.
