Welcome aboard the official website of Virginia Chandler, author of pirate epics, dragon‑haunted adventures, and the ghost‑lit tales of the Lowcountry. Here, history tangles with myth, lanterns burn for the lost, and the Plunderin’ with Bootstrap Ginny chronicles unfold alongside stories of wyrms, storms, and the strange magic that clings to old coastlines. Whether you come seeking pirates, dragons, or the whisper of something uncanny in the mist, step inside—there’s always another tale waiting to be found.
This year’s Charleston Under the Black Flag event will include the reenactement of the very real, very pyrate trial of Captain George Raynor and the crew of the Bachelor’s Delight!
In the late 1690s, Captain George Raynor and his Red Seamen slipped back from the Indian Ocean with pockets full of foreign gold and a ship they dared not sail openly into Charles Town. They anchored instead behind the barrier islands, offloading guns and goods under cover of darkness before scuttling the Bachelor’s Delight to hide the voyage that would soon drag them into a colonial courtroom.
