Bill Furney is the author of Black Hearts White Bones, a fiction story about what might have happened to Anne Bonny and Mary Read after they “plead their bellies” at their trials for piracy.

It’s a really fun adventure story that takes quite a few twists and turns.

Bill and I dig into his process for writing the book, all the way from research to how he created his audiobook for Audible. Some great info here for authors and anyone interested in the nuts and bolts of the book biz.

And there’s a bit of Star Trek talk too. Yep, left field. 🙂 But it all ties into our pirate discussion.

Author James L Nelson

James L Nelson is a prolific author of both fiction and non-fiction pirate books. All the way from Vikings through the American Civil War, he’s got some unique takes on how pirates affect the world around them.

Not to mention great storytelling and a deep knowledge of sailing ships. We’ll talk about his time on the Golden Hind after leaving the Hollywood grind. And how his idea of becoming a responsible adult was to become a novelist.

We’ll also get into this writing style and how he keeps the seafaring lingo to a level that even us landlubbers can understand and still keep everything really authentic sounding. And we’ll talk about why he decided to tackle the subjects of a Confederate naval officer during the American Civil War.

This is a really fun talk with a guy who obviously loves the sea and the people and things that float on it.

Author ET Fox

Ed “ET” Fox is a respected author who’s combined his love of research and pirates into a half dozen fantastic pirate history books. He’s also been able to bust some of the myths that you and I have been believing about pirates for years. Some really interesting stuff in this interview.

When you look for his books, be sure to look for ET Fox as searches for Ed Fox will lead you to a way different kind of book that has nothing to do with pirates and could get you called into the HR office.

Plus comedy from Dash Kwiatkowski and the song “Johnny Jump Up” by The Bilge Pumps.
