Chapter 10: FURIOSO The next installment of my novel online, Runaways: A Tale Of Jonkanoo, a sequel to Witch from the Sea. Tory was glad of all the people still in the street, watching this odd parody of their pantomime procession. It was almost funny, but the seething constable herding them along frightened her beyond measure.

RUNAWAYS: CHAPTER 2
Chapter 2: Playing Jonkanoo. The next installment of my novel online, Runaways: A Tale Of Jonkanoo>/i>, a sequel to Witch from the Sea.
What is Jonkanoo? An annual holiday parade performed by slaves in the West Indian sugar islands in the early 19th Century. For a few days, slaves were allowed to pretend they were free, going about masked and disguised, poking fun at their masters—until the rules of proper "civilized" behavior were clamped down again for another year. A fitting metaphor for my ex-pirate protagonists trying to pass as respectable citizens! (Image: Jonkanoo Parade, Jamaica, 1838)
