✦ Synopsis

“I am Nathanael J. E. Blackthorne, the pirate captain. Please, reserve your accolades regarding me fame and conquests for another time.

During the year of our lord 1753, I was sailing the West Indies, minding the oars in me own boat, pursuing me sole purpose in life: to disrupt the unholy alliance of two corrupt men, to destroy their lives as they destroyed mine. I mistakenly kidnap Catherine Mackenzie—wrong person, easy mistake, you understand—and me life went arsey-turvey. Having lost hearth and heart to the Jacobite War, and wanted for war crimes, Cate has the grit and savvy to have survived years destitute and alone in the cesspool known as London. When arrest seems imminent, Cate, through whose eyes this story is told, buys passage on the first ship away. Now, Cate desires but one thing: a place to belong.

Alas, if it were only that simple.

This is a story of scarred and blinded people.

It’s the story of trust, or rather, the lack of.

It’s the story of loss of faith and the disbelief that Providence might ever smile again.

Have you the courage to join us?”

About the Author

I was a history major in college and went into teaching. That didn't work, so I had two office careers. That didn't work either. Through a circuitous sequence of events, I wound up in the decorative painting world, where I travel taught and published for some 30 years. And then my hand wouldn't work. So I went back to what I knew: writing, history and sailing. It remains to be seen if that is working.
