Horse Up a Tree

Swashbuckling action as a charming black pirate captain plunders the high seas with his talkative, cranky parrot. Retired in Montana, with no trusting crew depending on him, the captain struggles to find his purpose. Until he finds it in a most unusual way. (This story is also available as a shorter 45-page version, which will be soon published as a kids' book.)
