WAVEMAKER

by F.C. Shultz

When Searlus, a young barrel maker, gets the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sail to the sacred island of his ancestors, he considers this a sign that his deity is finally turning the tides to destroy the Saluman Empire who has been oppressing the Horak people for generations.

But, when pirates surround the fleet, a storm blows in from the east, and a sea monster attacks the ship, Searlus' trust in the Wavemaker will be shaken to the core, testing his loyalty, and forcing him to come to terms with his violent crusade.

Frequently Asked Questions

WAVEMAKER is part historical fiction (pirates) and part magical realism (magic?). So, historical fantasy?
I wrote this book for high schoolers who don’t like to read (especially young men). But, my hope is that it can be enjoyed by the young and young at heart, the new reader and bookworm alike.
That’s a tough question to answer.
It’s pirates, and pirates are not “clean.” There are instances of violence and death, but there is nothing gratuitous, nothing without consequence. If it was a movie, it would be rated a low PG-13. Closer to PG than R.
You can read about the six year journey, from story idea to publication (including rejection letters from agents) here.
One of my goals with writing and publishing books has always been to make my books accessible, which is why I’ve tried to price WAVEMAKER is a way that makes sense.
I’m a fellow reader, and love switching between physical and digital mediums when reading a novel.
With that in mind, I’ve priced Wavemaker so you can get paperback and kindle versions for $16 total (paperback is $12; kindle is $3.99). It is also available on Kindle Unlimited.
