Gutted to say that my debut historical novel, #ifthetideturns, got pirated—days before my release.

The irony? It's a pirate book. Maybe I'll laugh someday. But I'm crushed. It would mean the world if you could

On this date in 1717, "Blackbeard" first appeared on the radar after ransacking a merchant ship. The captured captain described the pirate's appearance, which gave Blackbeard his infamous name. But before that, the bearded man was called Edward Teach. You'll learn more about him in IF THE TIDE TURNS
