Pirate Moon

Wind blew silence, rolling heavy and thick from the oceans chilly deep, and it settled around us. I stared at a puddle of blood and shuddered. I glanced toward the ocean. The moon peeked through tattered clouds and it was eerie and sad. I called it a pirate moon, yet for melancholy reasons this time. The shady acts of men and devils were often aided by the light of such dim telestial glow.
Pirate Moon is a stand-alone, must-read novel, yet it subtly culminates Saxtons other books, Dancing with the Moon, Beckon, and Into the Second Springtime. It is written in typical Saxton style, evoking sorrow, pain, radiant laughter, joy, tender romance, and quiet reflection. Pirate Moon is both the darkest and lightest of Saxtons books; cleverly combining danger and spirituality like the two were friends.
