“Is this seat taken?” she asked him again, tapping on a chair at the table.
“That’s where my Rum is sitting. He is my guest!”
“But the bottle is in your hand, and not in this chair,” she spoke, pointing out the bottle.
“So, it is!” he answered, looking at his Rum. Then, looking back at her: “But he was invited to this party.”
― Captain Skull: From the Memoirs of Sir Charles of Riley

“When handled in a civilized fashion, Piracy on the high seas could become more of a wise business decision than of a sheer, chaotic, unorganized criminal act. And I saw very little difference in what we were doing than the royals and courtiers were doing in the midst of cities, and of calling what they were doing legal and legitimate.”

What a wonderful comment, Karen! I am only happy to have help inspire you, and direct you here. Yes, we need more Swashbuckling stories on the market ~ it does not need to be a thing of yesteryear. And, yes, I was very inspired by Dumas, as well as Sabatini, DeFoe, and actors like Flynn, Tyrone Power, etc. Thanks for posting :-)
Wow, I see you were inspired by a lot of the same writers as I. I was an avid reader of especially Dumas. Also staying up late to watch the likes of Errol Flynn in Sea Hawk, Captain Blood and of course The Adventures of Robin Hood. I am still working on my first novel, a pirate adventure/romance and in the planning stages of a novel set in the time of King Arthur. You have inspired me to get back to it. And thank you so much for directing me to this website.




































This book is now, finally, available on Kindle Ebook platform (including being available for Kindle Unlimited)! In a few previous posts, here on Goodreads, I had uploaded a couple of chapters for you to enjoy. Now, you can enjoy the whole thing!
