In 1721, Bartholomew Roberts was at the pinnacle of his career as a rogue captain aboard the Royal Fortune. On the horizon, he spies the HMS Frizzington and her escorts sailing to Jamaica with supplies for a sugar plantation. With resounding conviction, Roberts vanquishes the hapless English, confirming his standing as the greatest pirate in the Golden Age of Piracy. Three centuries later, a group of college friends reunite for a week of treasure hunting in the southern Bahamas, where their path inexplicably crosses Roberts' storied past. Danger befalls them when the friends are abducted at sea and entangled in a ring of international piracy from which there seems no escape. Jolie Rouge is a spellbinding tale that intertwines the nefarious historical fiction career of Bartholomew Roberts with a macabre yarn of terror and deceit that will leave you contemplating about venturing too far from shore.

Do you get up every morning, spend close to an hour or more getting ready, pick out the perfect outfit, make sure your makeup is suitable, then style your hair just so?

Do you drive twenty minutes to downtown, find a spot in the company parking garage? If you do, then you're very much like me. However, I think our stories will differ significantly once you get to your office and I get to mine. Sure, it's possible you work in a high-rise office building in the heart of downtown.
