Since a little time has passed between their print release and when I re-released them as ebooks, I decided to have some fun and add an extra \"epilogue\" to the end of each one so that readers -- and I -- could see what's happening at the Pearl Island Inn today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWell, that was great for new fans of the series who are reading them for the first time as ebooks. But what about those of you who own the original print books and have loved the stories for years? Several of you have emailed saying you wanted the bonus chapters, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, here you go. This ebook was created especially for you, the fans of the original print editions. Each bonus chapter takes place seven to ten years after the original stories, since that's about the amount of time that has passed here in the real world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWelcome back to Pearl Island!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulie Ortolon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNOTE: If you haven’t read the Pearl Island series in print, these bonus chapters can serve as short stories to introduce you to the enchanting world of Pearl Island and the St. Claire siblings who turned a dilapidated mansion into a thriving bed and breakfast haunted by their colorful ancestor and her pirate lover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Julie Ortolon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145241805040,"sku":"2940011414305","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940011414305_p0.jpg?v=1763549131","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940011414305","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
