The Bone Yard
A Body Farm Novel
Hardcover | Kindle Edition
By Jefferson Bass
William Morrow
Release date: March 8, 2011

Let me preface this by saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed the few books I have read by these two authors (Jefferson Bass is the writing duo of Dr. Bill Bass and Mr. Jon Jefferson). That said, their latest effort, The Bone Yard, seemed less of a forensic mystery and more of an expose into the Florida reform school system of the twentieth century. The teaser at the beginning of the story revolves around a student, Angie St. Claire, of the protagonist, Bill Brockton, who’s investigating the suspicious death of her sister. I truly was snared from the beginning as the information started to flow regarding the death.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Disney’s latest installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, is out now in theaters, so it’s no surprise that movie tie-in merchandise has made its way into Disney theme parks. After all, the theme parks are where it all began, right?

Check out the video here below to see some of the Pirates merch, which includes pins and shirts, as well as a limited-edition Pirates-themed Disney Ear Hat. Also, at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida at the Pirate’s League, you can be transformed into a Pirate or a Mermaid, just like the characters in the latest film.
