It’s the release day of Over Raging Tides, book 1 in the Lady Pirates series! I have a bit of a tradition on this blog wherein I write a letter to my new book and characters on the day of a book release. I’m pretty fond of it at this point. I spend so long trying to get IN their heads, it’s not often that I get to talk TO them.

So.

Dear Grace– and Over Raging Tides,

You guys and Over Raging Tides have lived quietly in the back of my mind for a while now. While the first scene of Over Raging Tides that I wrote burst into my mind with a bang, you were pretty content to wait your turn while I finished Elementals: The Threats of Sky and Sea series.

That’s incredible to me in some ways. You’re a crew of pirates. You take what you want. But in other ways, it makes perfect sense. Everyone on board the Lady Luck has their own secrets. Their own motivations. You weren’t always willing to reveal that to someone new–even me.

What you were willing to reveal: that you were as annoyed as I was about the fact that Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl is comprised of an almost entirely male cast. That a large part of pirate canon in general, in fact, is comprised of a male cast.

We’re ready to change that with Over Raging Tides, you told me. We’re waiting.

…And, as I well know, woe betide anyone who gets in your way.

Now that you’ve revealed your story in Over Raging Tides, I’m so proud to be the one who got to tell it. In many ways, this is only the beginning. I can’t wait to tell the rest.

Love,

Your Author,

Jen
