The Hero of Cape Lonely Light
()
About this ebook
The Cape Lonely lighthouse in Fortunate Bay is a brilliant beacon of hope for sailors and their sailing ships. But had they ever faced a storm this fierce, this dangerous, or this deadly?
How can the old lighthouse keeper and his extraordinary cat help the schooner Reliant as it struggles to keep from smashing to pieces on the treacherous rocks and cliffs that surround the bay? And when the youngest seaman is washed overboard, will they get him in time?
This is a story of danger and destruction on the high seas, a dramatic tale of hope, loss, and redemption. You won't want to miss a moment of Cap'n and Ol' Tom's epic adventure. And you can decide for yourself who the true hero of Cape Lonely Light is.

My love of science started when my geologist father told me a rock I had found in the back yard of our Wyoming house was a dinosaur bone. Fast-forward some years, and I wrote a short book called "Dinosaur World" and produced the cassette tape that went along with it. Thanks to a small publishing company named Price Stern Sloan, the book and tape went "viral," selling tens of thousands of copies in just a few months. That success led to the other Dinosaur World volumes, which eventually sold more than eight million copies. From that I branched out to write about other sciences I loved, including astronomy and space travel, entomology, oceanography, etc. And since I love producing audio, almost all the books included cassette tapes, and later, CDs.

The Hero of Cape Lonely Light - Geoffrey T Williams
Chapter 1 – The Rule of the Claw
On a moonless night in Fortunate Town
When the wind blew wet and wild,
Tom was born in a box behind a store—
No place for kitten or child.
His mother left when he was young.
His father he never would know.
Brothers and sisters drifted away—
He was left to survive on his own.
His claws were sharp, his legs were long.
His whiskers thick and bold.
His fur was the color of shadows at dawn,
His eyes were yellow gold.
You grow up fast in Fortunate Town
Or you don’t grow up at all.
There’s only one law—the rule of the claw,
And you always walk alone.
So Tom grew up, quick and smart,
And learned to live by his wits.
Surviving on scraps, fighting harbor rats
For occasional slivers of fish.
Danger he knew like the back of his paw;
He made survival an art.
But more than that, this special cat had
Something that set him apart.
He could sense weather, and when the tide turned,
As sure as your grandfather’s clock.
He’d
