- It's much larger but I'm so busy getting all these books of my own out I haven't had time to catalogue.
- About Me
- Pirate Talk or Mermalade, my fifth book of prose, will be published on Talk Like a Pirate Day, September 19. It's a novel in voices about two brothers who meet a mermaid, fall into pirating, and end up in the Arctic. Henry Hudson said "mermaids are as thick as shrimp in these parts," and it was the Arctic where fellow explorer (and pirate) Martin Frobisher dropped off part of his crew. “Told entirely through dialogue, this quirky tale of period pirate wannabes makes a jeu d'esprit of the privateer life even as it baldly de-romanticizes it… Periodic visits from a mermaid (perhaps their half-sister) and a parrot who steals the scene every time he croaks "Hanged!" add to the fun.”—Publisher’s Weekly
Next year, Bohemian Girl--my answer to Willa Cather--comes out in the fall. - Location
