Introduction, Baby

• What is your fiction about? It’s about time travel and pirates. This is what my response is every time someone asks me this question, and it always elicits the raising of an eyebrow and, occasionally, nausea. Not that I blame anyone — telling people you are writing about these things individually will get you some bizarre looks. Together? People start to wonder if you’ve escaped an asylum.

• Are you serious? Yes. I thought it would be fun. Keep in mind that I do my historical research; other than the time travel part, I try to be true to the facts. My Golden Age pirates were real people, they actually existed, and their stories are more unbelievable than anything Disney could come up with.  I was surprised to learn that the pirates of the fiction world were mostly made up, that no one had actually bothered to write about the real guys, the guys that were behind all the myths. I took it upon myself to do so. I didn’t study archaeology in college for nothing. Go to my About page to learn more.

• Are you on heavy drugs? Sometimes. Your point?

• Is your main character you? No. But I try to give her my snark. I try to imagine, for all intents and purposes, what I would do or feel if I were suddenly amidst a bunch of buccaneers.

• Is your main character a mom? But of course.

• Don’t you have two kids? When do find the time to blog, write fiction, and do web design??? If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that I DON’T SLEEP. Nor do I cook, clean, or do laundry. Therein lies the secret.

I have yet to come up with a title for it, but maybe you guys can help me out. Each post will be part of a chapter and labelled post 1, 2, etc. so that you don’t get confused.

And now, without further ado, I proudly present my pirate fiction!
