At the Bookstore
Got a bit of a thrill Tuesday. My book, "Chrissie Warren" Pirate Hunter," is now listed in Ingram's, which means it's available through bookstores.
So I went down to the local bookstore and asked, and sure enough, they could order a copy for me! So people who prefer supporting local merchants can order it and get it within two weeks.
It's also available on Amazon, of course, in both paperback and eb Read more of this blog post »

Just wanted to let people know that my new book, the adventure novel "Chrissie Warren: Pirate Hunter," is available online at Amazon (and other online outlets, I presume) in paperback or Kindle editions. It tells the story of a 13-year-old girl in colonial Virginia who disguises herself as a boy, signs aboard a Caribbean-bound merchant ship and heads south to find and rescue her father, who has been captured by pirates. Along the way she discovers – herself.I'm also taking orders for a one-time only, signed and numbered hardcover edition. You can order it at http://chrissiewarrenpiratehunter.big...
This is what NY Times best-selling author Keith Thomson said about the book: "If you like pirate yarns, adventure tales, wry humor, or just books, chart a swift course for Chrissie Warren: Pirate Hunter. Talk Like a Pirate Day founder ... John Baur’s first stab at young-adult fiction features top-notch characterization, breathtaking battle scenes, and as much plot as your favorite Rafael Sabatini and Hunger Games novels — combined. What’s more, Baur layers in maritime verisimilitude as well as anyone since Patrick O’Brian. You will taste the salt air. You will feel the four-pound cannonballs whistling past. You will not be able to wait to set sail with Chrissie Warren and her crew again."
One of the first readers posted this review on Amazon: "This is a very compelling story, moving at a great pace. I hope there is a sequel in the works, because the story leaves you wanting more, in a good way. While I am technically not a young adult, I think they will enjoy this, too." D Van Middleswroth
