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.

Weather Witch: Tales from The Pearl Inn will be released May 15th, coinciding with the Under the Black Flag event in Charleston, SC at the Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon on E. Bay St.

Kindle Pre-Orders are available now!

The Weather Witch Tales:

Island of Ghosts

Come see me at Under the Black Flag in Charleston, South Carolina May 15 – 16 and pick up a copy of The Weather Witch: Tales from The Pearl Inn!

Until then, fair winds!

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.
