Ahoy everyone, I'm excited to unveil and present to you all my new upcoming title! As some of you know, I researched and wrote "๐๐ช๐ณ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ ๐๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต๐ด & ๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ช๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ต ๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ด๐ต" and "๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ข๐ด๐ต ๐๐ฐ๐ข๐ด๐ต" simultaneously, but plans of sitting down and doing a deep-dive into this particular topic has long-been a plan of mine, and I've finally done it. While those works covered a wide variety of topics, characters and locations, delving into the origins of pirate folklore, "๐๐ณ๐ข๐ฃ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฅ" is my contribution to Charleston history, and traditional pirate history in the form of a book dedicated to the pirate Captain George Raynor.
I will disclose the description from the back of the book:

-----------------------------
๐๐ณ๐ข๐ฃ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฅ is a smaller page count than my previous works at around 130 pages, a familiar size to any familiar with books from History Press or Arcadia Publishing, but is a suitable size to explore this tale thoroughly. Raynor and his endeavors have always been but a footnote in other stories, such as those of Thomas Tew, Henry Every, and early Charleston history - as such I'm happy to finally present an entire in-depth work devoted to him.
