A fortune in diamonds is buried in a grave on Casket Island. Al and Owen set sail to find the treasure with Captain Gunner and his crew. But can they trust everyone on board? And what other secrets does the grave hold?
My real name is Eleanor Coombe. I write as Dan Jerris for only the Dragon Blood Pirates series. I enjoy being Dan as I enter a world where I am a foolhardy young man who sails the seas with a parrot called Blunderbus and have all sorts of funny adventures. So, when I write, I become Dan and see the world through my new found character. Adventure is part of my life. I love surfing and sailing and remote beaches and bush walking. I live on a farm so I have lots of pets. The Dragon Blood Pirates were a delight to write. I used a real character in my terrible shark, Greeny Jack. Years ago, down in Coffin Bay in South Australia there was a huge white pointer that terrorised people that saw him. He was called Greeny Jack. The shark's name stayed with me, so I incorporated him into my pirate stories.
