Once Upon a Time,
Jmo and MorganO got together and wrote a serial story about a vampire pirate and his historian lady love. Set in present day New Orleans...
She's a history professor obsessed with the swashbuckling outlaws who roamed the Gulf of Mexico during the Golden Age of Pirates.
He was the most daring of the bunch, forever damned by a villainous wench. When he attends her community lecture, he can't resist correcting her facts. She can't resist his tortured soul.
We peek into their private journals and discover the hidden desires driving them both.

Excerpt From
The
Personal Journals of Morgan
Victoria Beauchamp
Dearest
Papa,
For the first time
since you challenged me to keep these journals some twenty years ago, I
actually have something exciting to write about. No, not another cataloging of
my research – though past journals were most useful in helping me compile my
academic paper, The True Pirates of the
Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico – but rather, a personal account. How few of
those have there been over the years? Nothing worthy of the grand romance story
you’d always wanted for me. Until tonight....
...At one point I
turned and for a long moment, several heartbeats I’m sure, my gaze locked with
the dark eyes of a dark haired man. All he needed was a pointed beard, long
curly hair, a big hat with a bigger feather and a change of costume and he
could have been my dream pirate. Yes, I swear, he looked as if he could be a
long lost descendant of the very wicked Jean Baptiste
Morgane
I’m well aware
you’d say my obsession has grown to be a little scary. If he were a live man
today, I’d probably be stalking him. Pathetic, I know.
But after staring
into the eyes of this man from only a few yards away, I swear on a stack of
pirate romance novels, my life changed. Exactly how and what will happen from
here onward, I don’t know. I just know something changed tonight....
...The solitude of
home has not brought me peace. I’m feeling edgy and restless, just the way I do
at the start of a new research project. I’ll try the bath next, and maybe a
glass of wine, but what I really want is to go out and find my pirate. I just
hope he isn’t a ghost tormenting me for seeking out his secrets.
