I had been following Nelson McKeeby on Quora for a while before finding out that he’s a fellow author! He has now published On Other Shores, the first book in his Tea Merchants series. You can find him on Prince of Cats.
On Other Shores
Despite being rogue and a scoundrel, Javier al-Rasheed has a good life: A fast ship that can outsail his rivals and debtors, a loyal crew drawn from all the lands of Halo, the beautiful Princess Nazira as a wife, and a newborn child.
However, when Princess Nazira’s tyrannical father jeopardizes her life, Javier will need all of his skill, wits, and cunning to gain the resources to defeat him. Failure will mean his ship, crew, wife, child, and life could all be lost. Javier al-Rasheed will need to brave unknown waters and forbidden islands and venture into his own past to find the key to saving all that he holds dear.
