Captain Morgan - great new book!

It's not QUITE summer around here, but I did succeed in finding a really good "beach book."

Stephan Talty's new "Empire of Blue Water" brings to life the legendary figure known to a lot of rum drinkers: Captain Morgan.

Of course, he wasn't always a captain.

In his youth, he was simply known as "Henry." And, that's about as far as I've gotten in the book. But, I can tell it's going to be a real page turner.

Check it out for yourself, if you're so inclined. You know Morgans always make great fodder for tall tales!
