I asked her to do a guest blog and she has graciously said she will give away a copy of Muir Bhreatan to a lucky commenter. All commenters between now and February 20th, will get a chance! As a reminder, I assign numbers to all comments, put those numbers on post it notes, or other small paper, and have my kids draw them. That's as random as we get here folks. :)
Without further rambling about her awesomeness, here is our author for this week's Succulent Saturdays Stories.
Pirates.
I can't get enough of them. Even before Pirates of the
Caribbean hit the big screen, I read books about them. Beyond Edward Teach, AKA
Blackbeard, I got knowledge of the lesser known buccos sailing the seas. The
lore of Chesapeake Bay was equally fascinating. I've been on a boat through
there and just looking at all the nooks and crannies, I could see how the
pirates in the Golden Age hid from the privateers and the British. But what
about before then? When piracy almost went into obscurity? The British Empire, much like the Romans, was
spread across the globe. Not every citizen under their rule cared for it. So
where to start?
I chose Ireland as the birthplace for my two pirate
brothers. While they worked well together, they were polar opposites in
personality. One had found the woman he wanted to be with the rest of his life.
The other? Total man whore … or is he? That remains to be seen within the
pages.
I struggled to finish this one, really. It wasn't until a
trip overseas that I became inspired. Sailing through the Irish sea and St Georges
Channel lit a fire in me. I pounded the keys and when I saw a group of islands
in the middle of it all, my tale came to life. This certainly isn't the end of
my pirate jaunts. It's not even my first. So look for more on the historical
side. I'm not done weaving my yarns.
Blurb:
Liberators of gold from the British on the high seas, Aedan รณ Loinsigh and his brother have never shied away from a challenge on the open waters. Aedan’s only tie to solid ground is the lovely Kaitlin who possesses him like no other. When the brothers are captured and awaiting execution, a mysterious man offers to free them if they pay off their debt aboard his ship. The brothers waste no time in agreeing to the proposal only to find their new lives are not much better than those of slaves. Desperate to reach Kaitlin again, Aedan must figure out a way to save not only the other indentured servants aboard the ship but get back to his true love. Salvation could come at a price. One that Aedan will have to live with for the rest of his life.
