Rapture of the Deep: Being an Account of the Further Adventures of Jacky Faber, Soldier, Sailor, Mermaid, Spy is due outSeptember 28, 2009!!
On the very day that Jacky Faber is to wed her true love, she is kidnapped by British Naval Intelligence and forced to embark on yet another daring mission—this time to search for sunken Spanish gold. But when Jacky is involved, things don't always go as planned.
Jacky has survived battles on the high seas, the stifling propriety of a Boston finishing school, and even confinement in a dank French prison. But no adventure has quite matched her opportunistic street-urchin desires—until now.
Why I'm Waiting: Because I love Jacky and all the craziness she inevitably brings with her. I fell in love with her in the first of the series Bloody Jack which had all of my favorite things - cross-dressing, naval ships, just enough romance, an overly involved subtitle and plenty of gumption. And I've yet to outgrow her. She's constantly getting into trouble, but her quick wits always manage to get her back out. Really she reminds me of Huckleberry Finn in a lot of ways.
If you haven't gotten to know Jacky yet, I'd definitely recommend Bloody Jack - it's funny and full of adventure!
Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. Drop in and say hello. What are you waiting for?
