The Pigeon Chronicles will touch the hearts of readers of all ages. Little Pete, a 21st Century adolescent from Alexandria, Virginia has a fancy to shoot pool with a young George Washington and ventures to 1748. Before finding George, he meets a mix of characters including a pirate and a young colonial beauty. Thunderstruck, he plays the game of his life. The pirate, Nate Teach, has affection for those who live in the realm of his subculture. A pirate without a ship and broken, he attempts to hustle young Pete at the billiard table but ends having an epiphany...On a quest from hell, the pirate stands there with pool-cue in hand. Young Pete stares in awe as they lock eyes. The destroyer says, "I'm a sea rover mate, but can't you tell? I fly the black flag and send them to hell?" His temptress stands and pouts while a red glow sparkles from a ruby set in her ivory fang. The contest begins. And Mima Piccola, the tough spirited colonial beauty, who is tougher than the average 21st century adolescent. When young Pete jumbles his time travel pursuit, he finds her 60 year old journal and sheds tears: October, 1748My Dearest Pete, I miss you dearly and hope we meet again. You left a short note and said you will return. We only spent a short time together and I hope nothing bad has happened. We connect in that special way, as if the same thoughts run through our minds. You are the one. I wish to get old with you. I love you and always will! Indulge in a tale of mystery, time travel, spirituality and pigeons that outshine modern technology, colorful-winged birds that superintend what lies ahead, and not to mention... a young George Washington.
