In 1588, the Spanish Armada of 130 ships set sail from Lisbon, its mission to transport a Spanish army from the Low Countries to invade England. As every schoolboy knows, they were defeated after several battles with the English defenders, and forced to sail north around Scotland and west of Ireland on their way home. More than 20 ships were wrecked off the Irish coast; those of their crews which managed to struggle ashore were mostly butchered by the English or their Irish allies. A few managed to take refuge in those parts of Ireland still holding out against the English conquerors; one of these was Captain Francesco de Cuellar. His ship was wrecked at Streedagh Strand in Co. Sligo, but he managed to get ashore alive. His subsequent adventures included being apprentice to a blacksmith, and enduring a siege by the English in a castle which had been deserted by its Irish occupants. He was eventually shipped to Scotland (at that time an independent country) and subsequently to the Spanish-held Netherlands, where he wrote this account of his adventures.

The beloved Princess Emma had just turned 18 and was about to go on her first adventure to visit her kingdom's allies. Her experience is cut short when Captain Killian Jones attacks her royal ship and takes her for ransom. What happens along the way is something neither of them expected... A story of love, heartbreak, self-discovery, adventure, and so much more. No curse. Killian has two hands ;) Inspired by the hit TV show "Once Upon A Time."

Emma is getting sick and tired of the tense group. She often runs off into the depths of Neverland to escape, but what happens if, one day, she doesn't return? Set after 3x07

When sixteen-year-old Irish lad, George O'Donovan embarks on an old 1875 cargo ship, he soon realizes this adventure is not at all for what he expected.

SHORTLISTED FOR WATTYS 2022 What should have been an easy payday for a band of British privateers turns into a desperate fight for survival when they find a young woman in the wreck of a schooner. Life is unforgiving for any privateering ship fighting in the Queen Anne's War, but of all the leaky tubs on the Caribbean sea, the brigantine ship, Scourge, and her crew have been dealt a pretty rotten hand. None more-so than her newest member, Martin Hamish, a deckhand looked down upon by his captain and fellow shipmates, but eager to please nonetheless. Down on their luck and desperate for their next prize, the crew's prayers are answered when a burning ship, bursting with unclaimed loot, crashes into the shore nearby. However, their dreams of a free payday are quickly soured when they discover an enigmatic noblewoman in the wreck with a proposition that may well change their fortunes, or end them all together.
