Obtain pirate Christmas tale for free
A Christmas e-book by Honolulu husband-and-wife team Sebastian and Shaley (known simply as S) DeGiorgio, "Yo Ho Ho and a Very Merry Christmas," is available for free download until Sunday on Amazon.com.
The e-book, illustrated by ElizaBeth Swenson, combines the tradition of "It’s a Wonderful Life" with the swashbuckling adventures of "Pirates of the Caribbean."
The Pacific Ocean becomes the nautical canvas for a Christmas tale that teaches the lesson that you don’t have to be a bad man to be a great pirate.
Captain Blackjack Rob and his crew are given the task of delivering yuletide cargo to the town of Dryden by Christmas Eve in exchange for their release from the king’s jail. They will have to chart a course straight through pirate-infested waters to get there on time.
The story is suitable for ages 8 and up. Digital list price is $4.99. Download it at www.amazon.com/dp/B00H2FPGTQ.
