Middle-aged Kelly Hunter has become jaded with life. Surely there must be more than go-to-work, go-home five days a week in life. After attending an exhibit of a pirate shipwreck, she finds herself in spiritual contact a pirate named Peter, a survivor of the wreck. He pleads for her to help him escape purgatory. She and Peter's common past is revealed through a series of revelatory dreams. While exploring her connection to Peter, Kelly becomes aware of another pirate from the wreck. This pirate doesn't want her help. He wants to possess her body and use it for his own nefarious purposes. Kelly becomes determined to rescue Peter while also trying to figure out how to thwart the evil pirate who wants to possess her. And if that is not enough, there's that mean supervisor at work she must deal with.

Not all pirates are as infamous as Blackbeard. Their stories, however, are no less compelling. 'The Whydah Pirates Speak' is a collection of true pirate stories, told in a series of factual, non-fiction articles based on information from primary resources. These stories are about the men who sailed with Sam Bellamy and Olivier Levasseur on, or in consort with the Whydah and terrorized the seas as pirates. Some joined by choice. Some by force. Most would not survive the experience. Read the transcript of a real trial for piracy in 1717. Examine the conversations of Rev. Cotton Mather with the condemned as they were led to the gallows. All articles, previously published separately, are now brought together into one source of information for research, knowledge, and entertainment. You won't find Jack Sparrow here. Rather, you will learn about life as a real pirate during the Golden Age of Piracy. Take a journey with me and discover how a trip to the museum one Saturday afternoon grew into a new obsession and calling to research and write about the real pirates of the Whydah Galley.
