THE CURSE is my upcoming release in November. I'd love to start some discussion about the book. I call it time-travel suspense. There is an 18th century man, a 21st century woman, a pirate who isn't sure in which time he is supposed to reside. What would you like to know about THE CURSE?

"I felt as if I lived every thrilling moment of THE CURSE.  Maddie James writes pulse-pounding suspense and riveting romance!"

THE CURSE

By Maddie James

Book One in The Legend of Blackbeard's Chalice series... 

Jack Porter is in hot pursuit of his kidnapped wife.  Not an easy feat considering it is 1718 and the kidnapper is the notorious pirate, Edward Teach aka. Blackbeard.  Determined to rescue his wife, Hannah, and take the pirate’s head in the process, Jack sneaks aboard the pirate’s ship but is too late.  Hannah dies in his arms.

 Nearly 300 years later, Claire Winslow vacations on a secluded east coast island, where the image of a man walking the misty shore haunts her.  Then he comes to her one night, kisses her, and disappears.  The next night they make love and he tells her his name is Jack.  But did they really make love?  Or was it a dream?  And why did he call her Hannah?

The Curse sends Jack and Claire on a wild search through time for a powerful historical artifact – the silver-plated chalice made from Blackbeard’s skull.  This chalice holds the key to their destiny and their love.  Only with the chalice will they be able to reverse Blackbeard’s Curse.

Will they find it in time? Or are they destined to be parted by fate once more?
