The Tropic Cycle
What do you get when you cross pirates, romance, adventure, comedy, and mysticism? Perhaps something like what’s found in Andrew Marc Rowe’s third realm of fiction, The Tropic Cycle. In The Davy Jones Trilogy, beginning with The Cutlass Swoon, watch as freshly broken bad pirate mystic David Holloway buckles some swash, meets the love of his life, descends into otherworldly voodoo realms, and conjures magical items between sips of hot cocoa. If you’re just looking for a quick excursion into this wondrous version of the Caribbean and Mesoamerica, you could do worse than Tales Of Da Voodoo. Ponder the mysteries of the universe and the practical matters of building community, regale yourself with love stories, and hold on to your sides as you traverse the New World with the cast of salty sea dogs, strong women not to be crossed, and strange gods and spirits the like of which you’ve never seen.
The Cycle Format
A quick note about the way I write my cycles. Essentially, there is a total of eight interrelated books set within the world of each cycle. That includes the introductory novella (part of the main book of the trilogy in every cycle except the Clovir Cycle) and a trilogy of novels, and a “Tales of” series of short story collections.
If you fall in love with the world and want the complete experience, read the entire cycle. If you just want to read the main story, check out the trilogy. If you want some bite-sized chunks to digest, check out the ‘Tales Of’ stories.
