On January 20, A
Tall Ship, a Star, and Plunder was released by Dark Oak Press. This pirate
anthology, featuring poems and stories
from twenty-four contributors and edited by Robert Krog, depicts buccaneers
from earliest times to the future. My story, "Ghost of a Chance,"
involves Heck, a 19th century first mate, stolen into piracy as a child and
yearning for a family while serving under a cruel captain. After a female
captive plunges to her death rather than submit to the crew, Heck discovers an
ominous ghost ship is tailing his vessel. Will it become his downfall or
salvation?
