When Master Neep embarked on a piratical correspondence course, he had no idea that the Golden Octopus, the ultimate authority in piracy, viewed him as a mere nuisance to be disposed of. But Neep was determined to realise his dream of becoming a pirate consultant, even if it meant dragging his strange comrades along for the ride.
With the Scarlet Daisy, who fancies a tutu as appropriate pirate garb, Mr Bones, as skinny as a rake, Ensephilephtor Boom, a member of the Sons of the Pinched Fuse, and the certifiable Mad Dog Jenkins, they set sail in pursuit of the legendary treasure of Capability Jones and the lost island of El Bongo, a myth most pirates scoff at.
Only Daisy and Bones believe the fable is true, but with such an eccentric crew, anything can happen.
"Overboard!" is an uproarious, high-octane adventure on the open sea, where to err is human, but to "aar!" is pirate...
Ex-drummer, Ex-software author and Ex-flares wearer Michael White was born and lives in the northwest of England. In a previous life he was the author of many text adventure games that were popular in the early 1980's. Realising that the creation of these games was in itself a form of writing he has since made the move into self-publishing, resulting in many short stories and novellas. Covering an eclectic range of subjects, the stories fall increasingly into that "difficult to categorise" genre, causing on-going headaches for the marketing department of his one man publishing company, Eighth Day Publishing.
Having accidentally sacked his marketing director (himself) three times in the last two years, he has now retired to a nice comfortable room where, if he behaves himself, they leave him to write in peace.
In his spare time (!) Michael likes to listen to all kinds of music, and is a big fan of Steven Moffat, whether he likes it or not.
Michael is currently working on several new projects and can be contacted on my own website at http: //mikewhiteauthor.wordpress.com or via twitter on @mikewhiteauthor
