The Founding of the Port
A short story of the Kraken's Caribbean

It was simply a ragged port, in a sea of rare turquoise.
But only in the beginning. Jeptha arrived and saw the potential for more. And when the first of the portals delivered a dancing girl into his arms, he took full advantage.
First, they deal with her old boss.

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.
