Book Description
Long John Silver, the villain in Robert Louis Stephenson's adventure story, Treasure Island, had a parrot. This story is another episode in the life of that parrot. She was hatched in the household of Queen Elizabeth, "Good Queen Bess," and named Gloriana by Queen Elizabeth herself. Captured by pirates, she went ashore many years later with one of the pirates who opened a pawn shop at Port Adelaide. Nine-year-old twins, Jennifer and Christopher, bought the parrot and discovered her conversational abilities. Gloriana tells the twins she knows where the pirates' treasure is buried. Accompanied by their parents, they set off to recover the treasure, traveling across inland Australia from Adelaide to Northern Queensland, pursued by three villains. Jennifer is kidnapped by the villains who want to exchange her for Gloriana; but Gloriana, aided by squadrons of parrots, rescues her. After further adventures, Jennifer, Christopher, and their parents, recover the treasure, which turns out to be ancient Chinese porcelain, not gold, silver and jewels. The villains chase Gloriana and her human companions in a speedboat, but its engine breaks down and the villains get horribly seasick. The twins' father hands the villains over to the police.

Book Description
"A fable satirizing Spenser's 'The Fairie Queen' and reflecting the real life of Elizabeth I, tells of a woman who ascends to the throne upon the death of her debauched and corrupted father, King Hern. Gloriana's reign brings the Empire of Albion into a Golden Age, but her oppressive responsibilities choke her, prohibiting any form of sexual satisfaction, no matter what fetish she tries. Her problem is in fact symbolic of the hypocrisy of her entire court. While her life is meant to mirror that of her nation - an image of purity, virtue, enlightenment and prosperity - the truth is that her peaceful empire is kept secure by her wicked chancellor Monfallcon and his corrupt network of spies and murderers, the most sinister of whom is Captain Quire, who is commissioned to seduce Gloriana and thus bring down Albion and the entire empire." -- Goodreads.com.

Book Description
A mysterious past, a desperate present and an uncertain future. What’s a girl to do? Young widow Gloriana St. Clair is close to starvation when she’s discovered living behind the stage at the Globe in 1604 London. Master Shakespeare isn’t a tyrant, but he can’t allow females to camp out in his theater. So Glory must leave and find a way to survive. For a woman in these times there’s only one answer—find a protector. Lucky for her, she’s pretty and has curves. Desperation forces her into the alley next to the theater between acts to look for a man who she hopes will be caring and willing to support her. Jeremiah Campbell is drawn to Gloriana immediately and makes his move. The handsome Scot certainly catches her eye and even buys her a meat pie when he hears her empty stomach rumbling. Glory has no choice but to go with him when he offers his arm for a “stroll.” She thinks his eyes are kind. But an attack by thugs soon shows her that this man can also be dangerous. When she sees fangs? Well, surely she imagined them. Because vampires aren’t real, are they? This prequel to the Real Vampires series begins the love story between vampire Jeremiah Campbell and mortal Gloriana St. Clair. You can follow Glory’s adventures starting with the first book in the long-running series, Real Vampires Have Curves, available at e-tailers everywhere.
