Pirate Talk or Mermalade by Terese Svoboda - The Trailer

Pirate Talk or Mermalade is a novel in voices about two brothers who meet a mermaid, fall into pirating, and end up in the Arctic. Henry Hudson said "mermaids are as thick as shrimp in these parts," and it was in the Arctic where fellow explorer (and pirate) Martin Frobisher dropped off part of his crew. To be released just before "Talk Like a Pirate Day."

Book Trailer - While in Darkness There is Light

I like this book trailer (and would like it even if it wasn't a Black Lawrence Press <ie, Dzanc imprint> title).  It's simple in design, easy to follow, and tells me what the book is going to be about.

The book is by Louella Bryant, and is currently available via Amazon.com, Powells, the chains, or your favorite independent bookseller.
