Darkness They Could Not See
Before the On the Hill Series, the author Costello wrote a historical fiction book about Columbus's first voyage in 1492. If you think it's boring because it's history, think again. But here's the thing: the author presents the facts and allows the reader to decide on Columbus's past voyages and the accusations of genocide. Go to 1492 above.
Darkness They Could Not See is told by three voices in this historical fiction novel: Columbus, the Bloodwoman, — a Taino princess — and Columbus's cabin boy Pedro. It's their view of the 1492 voyage surrounded by factual information.
Seaside Park, New Jersey
October 30 — November 10
The red spike is our house on the beach block of Seaside Park, less then a mile from Island Beach State Park, a ten mile stretch of fishing some consider the best fishing in the world. See Atlantic City/Ocean City, an hour drive south of Seaside Park.
A week at the end of October and a week at the beginning of November is a great time to fish and visit restaurants (see our favorites below).

Best Fishing in the World
Island Beach State Park, above, over 3,000 acres and 10 miles of coastal dunes remain almost untouched since Henry Hudson first described New Jersey's coast from the ship, the Half Moon, in 1609. Shaped by storms and tides, this narrow barrier island stretches for 10 miles between the restless Atlantic Ocean and the historic Barnegat Bay. There are no houses, businesses or boardwalks at Island Beach State Park, just natural dunes, and wildlife and plant life nearly the same as it was a thousand years ago. Sure, I fish there, and I feel honored to walk the beach.
