Supposedly, the sinking of the HMS Wasp in the late 1800's was due to the islanders using a cursing stone to prevent the ship from coming to their island to collect taxes. Mysteriously, the cursing stone went missing shortly after the shipwreck, but its pedestal remains on the island. I was so intrigued by this tale, I used it as the basis of my paranormal fantasy novel, ISLAND OF TORY. The sequel, appropriately named CURSING STONE, is due for release in March.
