Ravynne Sisters #6
The Ghosts of Purgatory Island
A serene Caribbean cruise on a tramp steamer (their long awaited idyllic vacation) turns into a complete nightmare for the Ravynne sisters when they are lured to Purgatory Island by fellow passenger, Graeme Leighton, who believes they can rid him of the dark entity possessing him.
Trapped there, with no hope of rescue any time soon, the sisters square off against the monstrous evil that inhabits the old Spanish fort with its myriad secret rooms and passages haunted by the ghosts of the very long dead.
Fighting for their own survival, they uncover , one by one, the dark secrets that lie at the heart of Purgatory Island….murder….lust…betrayal and a centuries old promise that must be kept at any cost…perhaps even the ultimate one.

About the author
Merabeth James
36 books27 followers I began my actual writing career as a journalist and then a TV scriptwriter, but loved putting words together to form images/thoughts/feelings almost as soon as I could grasp a pencil.
There are six things important to me...well, most important to me: To love unconditionally, to always keep a sense of 'wonder', to always be kind, to find joy in simple things, to never take myself too seriously, and to make sure I don't leave this earth with a list of "if only I hads" trailing behind me.
I've taken many 'leaps of faith' in my time and, so far, have landed on my feet or, in one case, on a dilapitated houseboat with my dog, and a lot of enthusiasm. I named her 'Sanctuary Annie' and hoped for the best. I knew nothing about boats, couldn't swim and wondered how long she would stay afloat.
In the middle of the night, when my dog jumped up to join me on the antique Victorian bed I had moved on board, I would check to see if he was wet, knowing, if so, we were both in big trouble. But Sanctuary Annie hung in there, even surviving a hurricane, when others around her were not so fortunate.
Living in the small marina, with the sea as my back yard, I found a profound sense of peace..and the love of my life....my Jim, captain of 'Wings', a beautiful racing sloop that flies across the water, when the wind fills her sails.
I often think how much I would have missed out on, if I hadn't taken that leap of faith and followed my heart. Life is meant to be lived and I intend to keep on doing just that.
