The character of Marianne Williams Ward, (loosely based upon the real-life sister of pirate Paulsgrave Williams), was first introduced in my novel, The Devil’s Treasure.  Her appearance in that story was brief, but, (unbeknownst to me at the time), Marianne was going to be living rent free in my head for years, (which, by the way, is not a bad thing!)

Marianne became one of the narrators of Haunted Pirate Tales from the Pearl Inn, and it was while writing those stories that I decided I wanted to write more about Marianne and her “weather witch” talents.

To the ghosts that guide us, the storms that test us, and the gold that waits for those who dare — may our ink never run dry and our courage never fade. Raise your tankards, mates… for the sea still remembers our names.
