    About this ebook

    Captain Sy “Cyclops” Petcher had always been known to exaggerate. He told fancy yarns to anyone at the Triple Trout who would buy him ale for a tale. He wore an eye patch over his right eye ever since a hurricane that he claims gave his the ability to see the future.

    After his passing, his grandchildren Oliver and Sophia are tasked with selling his seaside home. Oliver is ready to wipe his hands clean of the old scallywag, but Sophia wistfully remembers better times. When a troupe of interesting characters arrives, claiming that the Cyclops really could predict the future, a wild goose chase begins for a seemingly innocuous set of blueprints.

      I think almost every house in Kansas had a porch swing. It was 1950 and no one had air conditioning, so we waited until the sun had gone down below the giant elm trees, and then people would wander out to their porches to sit in their porch swings an

When the bar was closed in the mornings, Sy would sit outside the door in a chair engraved with Cyclops and scare school children with tales of sea monsters, pirates, and siren songs. They would scream and run away laughing to return the next morning for all of their favorites from the crazy
