There's a great big world out there, and Elizabeth has always wanted to sail it. But shackled by her life and expectations for a woman in high society, it had always been out of reach. Stuck where she was born, she could only fantasize about how great it would be to sail a ship-- to smell the ocean air, fence with a monstrosity of a man, and steal money from the richest family in the world. And when her father is taken and killed, she decides it's time she takes action. Inspired by anger and grief, Elizabeth delves into the world of criminals-- she vows to become the best damn pirate this world has ever seen, and to find and kill those who murdered her father. *-*-* Fair bit of cursing in this book. Touches on grief, sexism, and other subjects, so be prepared. Past chapter three, this book is written in an almost episodic fashion. I'm planning for it to take place over the span of many years, so be prepared for that too-- basically, this isn't your run-of-the-mill styled story. Updates every other week, give or take. I hope you enjoy!

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.
