Castillo del Mar

A Pirate’s Curse. A Hidden Fortress. A Teen Detective Who Has No Idea What He’s Stirring Up.

 A full-length adventure novel you can download for FREE.


Johnny Socko is the starting quarterback, a self-taught detective, and just maybe, the only one brave enough (or dumb enough) to dig into a centuries-old pirate mystery.

When a trail of clues leads him straight into a crumbling Spanish fortress, Johnny unlocks the chilling legend of Anne Dubois: a red-haired pirate captain who vanished without a trace… after one final act of revenge.

Now, the past and present have begun to blur and the fortress has ancient secrets it’s dying to keep.

And Anne’s unfinished story pulls Johnny closer to danger than he ever expected.
