A few new faces have come aboard lately, so I figured I should introduce the woman responsible for all these pirates. 🏴‍☠️

I’m E. H. Casteele—author, wife of a military veteran, and proud owner of a bachelor’s degree in American History that I’ve put to use chasing pirates down research rabbit holes. 😂

I write about history, hauntings, romance, and pirates who are remarkably bad at staying out of trouble.

📚 Already out in the world:

The Prince of Pirates — A standalone historical novel about Black Sam Bellamy and the first book in my Legendary Pirates series. Each book tells its own pirate’s story, so you can enjoy it on its own!

The Pirate Queen’s Curse — The first book in my adult paranormal fantasy/romance trilogy. One cursed ship. One reluctant queen. One mouthy parrot.

✍️ Currently taking over my brain:

Preceptor of Pirates — The second book in my Legendary Pirates series, this time turning the spotlight on Benjamin Hornigold.

The Pirate Queen’s Rise — Book two of the Pirate Queen trilogy, because Elizabeth’s troubles are far from over—and Jib still has plenty to say.

The Forgotten Pirate — A standalone paranormal romance about a modern-day historian trying to save a pirate’s historic house, and the ghost who needs his true story to be understood.

Yes, that’s several projects. Apparently, my brain believes writing one book at a time is merely a suggestion. 😂

Around here, you’ll find book updates, pirate history with a side of humor, glimpses behind the scenes, and me negotiating with fictional people who think they’re in charge.

Whether you found me through an ad, a review, or a shared weakness for pirates, welcome aboard! ☕🏴‍☠️

What brought you aboard—the pirates, the history, or strong characters with a little mileage and plenty of fight left in them? 🏴‍☠️
