Seastar

SEASTAR is a swashbuckling historical novel that chronicles the adventures of red-haired, green-eyed beautiful Anne Bonny, the Pirate Queen. The saga passionately brings to life Anne's rebellious Southern girlhood, her sensual awakening in the arms of a buccaneer, and the courageous mastery of her own ship and crew. Pamela Jekel's sparkling tale transports you to the exotic Charles Town of the precolonial South; to teeming Port Royal, Jamaica, and to the infamous pirate island of New Providence for duels, plundered treasures, and torrid love scenes on palm-fringed cays. America's only female pirate, Anne Bonny was a legend in her own time; her style of living and loving was extraordinary, capturing the imagination of all who knew or heard of her. She was so notorious that her story has become as famous as those of rogues like Blackbeard, Stede Bonnet, and Calico Jack, who ruled the Caribbean Sea during America's most adventurous and colorful age. Anne was one of them, untamed and as unpredictable as the pirates she loved. A sailor, a fighter, a renegade, and a thief, Anne Bonny was a woman beyond compare. The New York Times bestselling author Pamela Jekel brings us "...the rip-roaring real-life adventures of Anne Bonny, pirate queen of the Caribbean. She dresses like a man, fights like a tiger, and lives in constant danger!" Booklist. "A romantic heroine with guts and integrity", Publishers Weekly.
