  Rumsgiving ~ A Holiday for Emily
  A short story of the Kraken’s Caribbean
  Holidays don’t exist in the Kraken’s Caribbean. They have the annual Pirate Ball, but the rest of the time – every day is a celebration!
  Until Captain Silvestri’s otherworld wife, Emily begins to long for some part of her old life. She’s adapted well to Tortuga, but now and then she misses a chance to simply gather with her new friends and family for no other reason than to give thanks.
  Silvestri is an accommodating man, and together, the pirates of Tortuga set about making Emily’s dream come true. With Rumsgiving.

  Maureen O. Betita began her career writing about pirates and intends to continue that tradition the rest of her life. Pirates are her passion, though not so much historically accurate pirates as the greats of Hollywood Pirates. She uniquely blends romance, adventure, Steampunk (on occasion) and fantasy/paranormal elements. Pirate Festivals, Steampunk Gatherings, Science Fiction and Fantasy Conventions, Renaissance Faires – these are all within her social sphere and she borrows, steals, and creates stories from her adventures at these venues. Oh, and her imagination.
