I’ve finally gotten around to redoing a video on who I am and what I believe, and I’ve been working to improve the quality of the videos as well. A lot goes into a well composited production!

Hello everyone!
I know I’ve already done a blog post about my free eBook, but I wanted to showcase a short rundown of the eBook on YouTube as well. I haven’t created a visual YouTube video for a little while because I’ve been trying to research how to create better YouTube video quality and have been experimenting around with a few things there (and have also been busy writing!).
So, I’m finally getting back around to making more videos. The lighting of the scene is what I worked most on here. I hope you enjoy, and please subscribe to my email list below and receive your free eBook!

Here is my next video in my series of playing my Irish low D whistle. These two songs were a little crummy, yet I still consider myself a novice of the instrument. I’m much better on a fife and will probably eventually record videos of my fife playing.
The Irish low D whistle has the same fingerings as the Irish tin whistle only plays in lower octaves. Enjoy!

Chapter 5, titled Cleaning the Southern Moor, leads you through the decks below ship. Explore this small city through the dim light of lamps and candles and sunlight filtering through open shutters above. Adrian and Adrianna have to clean the prow and the cargo hold, which is the bottom deck of the ship. Hear sea shanties, and listen to the waves lap against the sides of the ship from below the waterline.
Here is the next video in my series of reading select chapters of my book Treasure on the Southern Moor. You can check out more details of where I am in production of this book here, and please also purchase my book The Williams House. Check out more information in my bookstore!
The final artwork for my book has also been finalized! I have placed it in my home page and also uploaded it here. Enjoy the video.

. The thrill of the sea – the song of the ocean winds – out sails and up anchor! – guided by the compass and stars – as a poet once said, “to the lonely sea and sky”. It is the eighteenth century, and the sailing vessel is the only way to travel the raging seas. The Southern Moor sets sails from England to Africa with a crew of forty-two persons, guided by a captain with his son and daughter, where those of the trusted crew hope to find treasure with only the guidance of a map an old friend of the captain’s had given him and a handful of the treasure itself, brought back from the African shoreline. With the smell of cooking from the galley, you may find them about on the weather decks reefing the sails or lashing down the ship’s boats, or listen to the captain play on his fipple flute with the accompaniment of the cello and violin. Hear the ocean waves lap against the bows, or have cataracts of sea water come flooding over the main deck in the midst of a raging storm.
. In Plymouth, England, there are those few friends of the captain who wonder if he will ever return. Is the Southern Moor, newly finished vessel and never before tested in the ocean waters, strong enough to sail through storms and cannon fire to reach the warm lands of the African shoreline and make the same journey back? With all of its rectangular sails billowing in the wind, bowsprit brass tip of heather shining in the sunlight, and the polish of the wood shining without a fingerprint to be seen, the Southern Moor leaves the harbor of Sutton Pool to test itself in the ocean and plough the stormy seas. . .

Here it is! Though my book Treasure on the Southern Moor is not quite in print yet, I have begun reading ahead the final manuscript.

Watch the below video to see what the voyage is all about – a captain sailing with his son and daughter to the coast of West Africa during the eighteenth century. Read this post to see when this book will be in print!

Back description of book:
. This is a story about eight children whose names are Lilly, Ann, Will, Johnathon, Timothy, Margaret, Susan, and Maria. They live in a very large and mysterious house where they have all sorts of adventures. It is a stone house on an old country lane, and it is not only the place where they explore, imagine, tell stories, sing, and play musical instruments, but it is also the place where they do school and study, and so you see, between the work and play, they became very familiar with the house indeed. Yet it never ceases to surprise them, how it can look in the moonlight, or on a rainy day, or with morning beams of sunlight flowing through its windows. Join them in the attic for a story on a stormy night, or find them in a park on a summer afternoon with the warm wind in their faces, or see them bent over candles as they look at old rooms and dusty shelves.
. Friends of theirs are the Bentley family, who are allowed a peek into many of their family adventures. Find them all listening to birds sing while they look for buried treasure, or listening to bassets howl on an autumn night. Though there is a sad moment between them, it is also strangely filled with joy and contentment, as those who are filled with light cannot be anything else.
. Perhaps the most exciting moment of all is when the Williams’ children find something on the basement landing of their home. The basement is not a place they are allowed to go to often, and the children have called it the cellar among their whispered stories, yet the discovery makes the cellar stairs a more easily traveled lane. . .
Chapter fourteen is titled The End of This Story. Watch to hear the conclusion of the Williams children year and hear what happens to them!
