I'm very pleased to welcome Cap’n Scally to Cozy Up With Kathy today. You can find Cap’n Scally on the pages of SECRETS AND SCALLYWAGS by Elizabeth Pantley. This book is the fifth in the Magical Mystery Book Club Mystery series and was released last week. You can check out my previously published review by clicking here.
Yer first time, eh? Not surprising, pirates tend to avoid publicity due to the nature of their livelihood.
Makes sense. So why have you agreed to this interview?
Not all pirates are bad, ya know. Me and my crew, we live to serve the greater good.
Really? What exactly do you do?
Well, little lady, if I told ya that I’d have to kill ya. Oh, don’t look so horrified. It was a joke! The killin’ part. But I really can’t tell ya. It’s secret.
You got to meet the Magical Mystery Book Club. How did that come about?
Bunch of fine folks, there. They stumbled upon my vessel. Sure, they were pretty startled to meet us, but once we got over their trembling fears, we were able to work together.
I hear that the club has some unusual people in it.
Ho, ho, ho! You better believe it! That cat, Frank. Never met a feline like him before. He and Bucko became fast friends and serious troublemakers, too. And you better watch out for that tiny little lady, Zell. She may be ancient, but she’s got more spit and vinegar and most young’uns.
Who’s your favorite book club member?
Now you wouldn’t have me go hurtin’ people’s feelings, now. Would ya? Every one of those landlubbers was a heaping fish barrel of fun. I have a soft spot for that ghost girl, but I suspect everybody does. She’s a real piece of gold, that one.
Speaking of gold. There’s treasure in this story.
Aye! A priceless treasure that’s wrapped up in magic. It had to be unwound in order to save our ghostly souls. Those ordinaries were dedicated helpmates in that endeavor, and I’ll be eternally grateful. Now I must leave you. The ship’s about to sail.
Thanks for meeting with me today. Have a great journey!

When this club selects a book, magic happens. They become the main characters in the story when the mystery comes to life.
This month’s book selection takes them to a charming island community that’s abuzz over a mysterious boat that washed ashore. Rumor has it that it’s the same pirate boat that sunk a year ago in the bay. The one that supposedly sank with treasure aboard. When the club meets the ghosts of the men from the boat, they learn the astonishing secrets of the treasure. These ghosts can’t move on until it is found. Can the motley group find the treasure and free the ghosts? They better, since it’s the only way they can exit the book and get back home.
