Much of the true history of Blackbeard the Pirate is unknown which, for a writer, is license to create. So, as far as I know, Blackbeard never cavorted with a woman who used voodoo to curse him. It is true that no paintings of him exist and that he ran his operation (and finished his career in dramatic style) off the North Carolina coast, but all of his history with women was the result of my imagination.
As before, while many of the locations and histories are accurate, I do take liberties at times. Never forget - this is fiction.

All books require more than just the author's work, and this book is no different. This time around, my thanks go out to the helpful and indulgent people at Korner's Folly; Duncan Long, for another fantastic cover; my good friend and honest reader, Garrett; all of my family for their constant support; and my closest and dearest, Glory and Gabe. And of course, none of my jabbering amounts to anything without somebody to read it. So to you, the reader, thank you.

- a weekly podcast about science, art, and well, everything. For those who keep count, the latest animal listing is as follows: one dog, four cats, one albino corn snake, one Brazilian black tarantula, three aquatic turtles, seven chickens, and a horse. Thankfully, the chickens and the horse do not live inside the house.
