[Warning: Some readers may find the descriptions of discovered deceased pirates disturbing.]

THE DAY THE PIRATES WENT MAD is an entertaining ‘cozy’ historical fiction that also conveys a ‘boatload’ of learning about the life and times of those sailing the seas 300 years ago, during the Age of Sail.

Author’s Note: Inspired by R.L. Stevenson’s novel “Treasure Island” and Y.E. Allison’s poem “Derelict”, I originally intended Emma’s adventure to be a short story for my daughter, peppered with nuggets of knowledge about real life during the Age of Sail and the Golden Age of Piracy in particular. The tale soon ballooned into something more as I found myself diving down one research rabbit hole after another. Now, I hope THE DAY THE PIRATES WENT MAD will help inspire readers to do some research of their own and uncover the real stories of our shared history.
