Ghosts of the Sea Moon Blurb
In the Outer Islands, gods and magic rule the ocean.
Under the command of Captain Rafe Morrow, the crew of the Celestial
Jewel ferry souls to the After World and defend the seas from monsters. Rafe
has dedicated his life to protecting the lost, but the tides have shifted and
times have changed.
His sister, the Goddess of the Moon, is on a rampage and her creatures
are terrorizing the islands. The survival of the living and dead hinge on the
courage and cunning of a beleaguered captain and his motley crew of men and
ghosts.
What he doesn’t know is that her threat is part of a larger game. That
an ancient, black-winged malevolence is using them all as pawns…
Come set sail with ghosts, gods and sea monsters.

A steadfast and proud sci-fi and fantasy geek, A. F. Stewart was born and raised in Nova Scotia, Canada and still calls it home. The youngest in a family of seven children, she always had an overly creative mind and an active imagination. She favours the dark and deadly when writing—her genres of choice being fantasy and horror—but she has been known to venture into the light on occasion. As an indie author she’s published novels, novellas and story collections, with a few side trips into poetry.

Excerpt:
The Captain
Captain Rafe Morrow paced the quarterdeck
of his ship, Celestial Jewel, the
signs of an oncoming squall setting him on edge. Blustering wind rattled the
sails and the crew’s nerves, their usual jaunty hubbub reduced to grumbling and
snipes. Trouble travelled on that wind. Rafe could smell it woven in the air,
and his blood prickled with a sense of worry. The ship trembled as if with
warning. He glared at the sky and its darkening clouds painted amber and
crimson from the setting sun. A storm sky coming ahead of a full moon meant
dark magic and sea monsters would prowl the waves this night.
The
Moon Goddess will hold sway tonight.
A trickle of blue energy raced across the
back of his hand at the thought.
Damn
her…and her beasts.
On the breath of a sigh, he whirled to face
his crew. “Storm’s coming, boys. Doesn’t bode well, not with the moonrise
tonight.”
“How long, Captain? Will we be in the thick
of the weather or just what comes after?” A rough-edged sailor, Pinky Jasper,
spoke up, but all ears of the deck crew listened for an answer.
“It’s coming within an hour or two, out
from Raven Rock, by my reckoning. After nightfall by certain. We’re heading in,
boys, but we’ll likely hit the edge of it.” He heaved a breath, exhaling.
“It’ll be a bad one even for this crew so expect trouble.”
A shiver of tension settled over the deck.
Some of the crew cast worried glances at the sea and each other. Others
shivered, and a few more whispered prayers. Storms brought bad memories and
nervous anticipation to the sailors of this ship.
“Which port then, Captain?” The mariner at
the ship’s wheel chimed in. “Might make Abersythe if we head north.”
“We might, Anders. But we head east. We’ll
race the edge of the tempest, but it’s closer and the ship will find better
shelter anchored at Crickwell Island.”
“Aye, sir. Laying in course to Crickwell
Island.” One-Eyed Anders turned the wheel and the ship’s bones groaned. Others
of the crew adjusted the sails, and the
Celestial Jewel leaned into her new bearing headed east.
