Summary: I wrote this book!
Comment: I am a former teacher and school librarian who wrote this book for Franklin Watts several years ago. The book had to fit into a series, so my hands were tied about the content, length, and grade level of the book. Also, a photo researcher chose the photos. Some of the photos are good, and some aren't. And one year after the publisher accepted my manuscript, my editor asked me to consolidate the last four chapters about individual pirates into one short chapter. There is a huge amount of material on pirates that I was unable to include in this book. Since publishing pirates, I have published three young adult fiction novels under K.J. McWilliams. THE DIARY OF A SLAVE GIRL, RUBY JO culminates in the historical event of Blackbeard holding Charles Town, SC hostage in May 1718. I have just completed another young adult novel, THE JOURNAL OF JACK BLACK, a FUGITIVE SLAVE that is about slave children who signed aboard Gentleman Stede Bonnet's pirate ship. Many slaves did join pirate ships and were usually treated well since pirates were democratic. I do not yet have a publishing date for JACK BLACK. I have had all my books reviewed favorably many times. PIRATES is out of print but can be found in libraries and online used bookstores. My young adult books can be found in online bookstores as well as libraries and independent bookstores. The titles of my other two books are: THE JOURNAL OF LEROY JEREMIAH JONES, A FUGITIVE SLAVE and THE JOURNAL OF DARIEN DEXTER DUFF, AN EMANCIPATED SLAVE that won 1st place for YA fiction--2003 Royal Palm Award. The young adult novels also have photos and nonfiction information for teachers.
