Concerned for him and their future together, she wonders if she can play a larger role alongside him in the fight against piracy on the high seas.

About the author

I'm a history buff, vintage style lover, and a bibliophile. I'll read anything I can get my hands on, especially steampunk, fantasy, and pulp fiction. When I'm not writing, I can be found bicycling with my husband, raising two furry canine children, costuming, and traveling.
