Calico Creek: The Legend of the Howling Marauder and the Pirate's Secret
By Mike Anthony
About the Book
Along North Carolina's coast, a creek is more than a line on a map. It connects shorelines, marshes, and barrier islands, placing familiar places beside the possibility of an unfamiliar story. Calico Creek brings that coastal setting together with the legend of the Howling Marauder and the mystery of a pirate's secret.
Mike Anthony's adventure invites readers into a landscape where local names and old legends can make the past feel close. The attraction is not only the promise of discovering a secret, but the atmosphere around that search: coastal waters, the edges of islands, and the sense that a familiar shoreline may hold more history than it first reveals.
For readers drawn to pirate legends and North Carolina settings, the book offers a different side of Anthony's coastal fiction. Where the Cedar Shoals novels focus on criminal danger and Across Bogue Sound introduces an apocalyptic threat, Calico Creek turns toward adventure, legend, and the pull of a hidden story.
The coast remains the common ground. Its creeks and islands provide the setting for a tale intended for readers who enjoy the possibility of discovery, the persistence of old stories, and a map that suggests there is still somewhere worth looking.
A coastal adventure with a pirate’s secret
Calico Creek is Mike Anthony’s separate coastal adventure involving barrier islands, the Howling Marauder legend, and a pirate’s secret. It is a choice for readers drawn to North Carolina coastal fiction and maritime mysteries, rather than a sequel in either the Cedar Shoals or Bogue Banks series.
