Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the devastating fire that happened in Sonoma county. It was very strange how you could feel in the air the anxiety get more and more intense the closer it got to the day. For once though I felt like I was not completely helpless. I have mentioned before that I got a job, and I was back out in the world working. I am working for a small non profit called Sonoma Family Meal that provides healthy chef made meals for survivors who were displaced by the fires. These are people whose homes, entire neighborhoods, and businesses were burned down completely. Wiped out. The feeling of hopelessness could really be crippling. Fortunately I am not just standing by shaking me head feeling bad. I am actually helping in my small way, and it feels really good. Instead of focusing on the bad, I get to see the good in people as they give there time and energy to help rebuild whole communities. This anniversary was certainly not a bad day for me, but instead a reminder of how awesome people are.

Captain Blood
by Rafael Sabatini
4.4 Stars (215 Reviews)
Genre: Classics | Action & Adventure

FREE for a limited time

Captain Blood is one of the great pirate stories. First published in 1922, Rafael Sabatini’s novel has never been out of print. It was the basis for the hit Warner Bros. movie Captain Blood (1935), starring Errol Flynn.

Although Blood is a fictional character, much of the historical background of the novel is based on fact. Blood is loosely based on Henry Pitman, a surgeon who tended the wounded Monmouth rebels and was sentenced to penal transportation to Barbados where he escaped and was captured by pirates. Unlike the fictional Blood, Pitman did not join them, and eventually made his way back to England where he wrote a popular account of his adventures. For Blood’s life as a buccaneer, author Rafael Sabatini used several models, including Henry Morgan and the work of Alexandre Exquemelin, for historical details.

IN BOOK 1 OF THE TOTLANDIA SERIES:

The Pacific Heights Moms & Tots Club is the most exclusive children’s playgroup in all of San Francisco. For the city’s ultra-competitive elite, the club’s ten annual spots are the ultimate parenting prize.

But not everyone is PHM&TC material. The club’s founder, Bettina Connaught Cross, adheres to strict membership rules: Moms only. No single parents or working mothers allowed. Membership is an arduous commitment. And there’s no room in the club for scandal, bad behavior, or imperfection… from tots or their moms.

In a world of power and prestige, no one has more than Bettina. And as every mom in Pacific Heights knows, you simply cannot cross her. But this year’s admissions process is more rigorous than ever, pitting prospective members against each other to prove their mettle.

But four of the six candidates vying for the remaining four slots have a secret that would knock them out of the running. Jade is a former stripper and porn actress, who has been absent for most of her son’s life. Jillian’s husband cleaned out their joint accounts and left her for his pregnant assistant. Ally never even had a husband — just a sperm donor — and she’s hiding a high-ranking corporate job. And Lorna fears that her son may have special needs… just the excuse her sister-in-law, Bettina, needs to deny her entry to the club.

Can these hopeful moms keep up appearances long enough to outlast the competition? Or will their chances — and their private lives — go up in flames?

Friendship. Lies. Seduction. Betrayal. Welcome to Totlandia.
