Book description

Dr. Christopher Lemuel escapes England on a privateer after he has the misfortune of winning a duel. With his life in jeopardy, he signs on as ship's doctor only to face further dangers on the high seas. The good doctor is wounded in a sea battle, captured by pirates, and reluctantly becomes a buccaneer. Then matters become stranger still when Dr. Lemuel is marooned on an island populated by enormous beasts unknown in natural history. “Blood and madness; acts of unimaginable courage and inexplicable folly; shipwreck and mayhem and a cataclysmic hurricane ? this tropical paradise has everything. Including pirates. And yes, dinosaurs. Readers will devour Pirates on Dinosaur Island faster than a velociraptor can chomp a buccaneer.” Mark Edwards, playwright and author of short stories, teaches writing and media studies at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. His play "Ladies in Hats" was a Kennedy Center semi-finalist and appeared in The Boston Theatre Marathon. His story "Last Call" was published in The Last Man Anthology, and "The Man Who Shot Bigfoot" can be found in a future Space and Time Magazine.
