“A fun, imaginative seafaring adventure with inventive worldbuilding and a lively pirate crew.“
— Darren Joy, author of the dark fantasy Plagueborn series
An Action Adventure story of song, survival, and when necessary battle
A Motley Sisterhood of Pirates! song:
Lost on land
At home at sea
Where the hills are liquid
And the mountains roll
We’re a raucous, wild sisterhood
Mocking everyone, including ourselves
But harm any one of us, and your days are doomed
At dawn we groan at all the work, to do
But by noon, we’re laughing
And at night, with a cup of rum to keep us warm
We sit on the deck, in a circle singing
While First Mate, “One Eye” Olanis, plays her mandolin

Excerpt
Olanis nods at Helmswoman “Wheel Turner” Synthia who is standing before the helm. The spoked wheel is almost as tall as “Wheel Turner”. Next, she and Aarini climb up the steps to the fo’c’sle where the Captain is holding Olanis’s mandolin and standing with the Navigator “Storm Caller” Master Jo Anne and Zala. Together they watch as the girls pour up the stairs of the hold to the deck. Making sure they line up properly is the Master-at-arms “Dizzying Blade” Sadie.
“We’re a sisterhood of pirates,” the Captain whispers into Olanis’s ear as she hands over the mandolin.
“Ahoy, me hearties!” Olanis sings down to the crew and strums her mandolin.
We’re a sisterhood of pirates!
The Captain says it’s time to sail
Turn the capstan to lift the anchor
Unfurl the masts, it’s time to roam
“Aye, aye, Captain,” the crew sings back.
“We’re a sisterhood of pirates,” they continue as the Master-at-Arms grabs a hold of one of the capstan’s handles. The cook, “Unibrow” Nippi joins in along with some of the teenagers.
“Round and round clockwise we go!” They sing over and over again.
The surgeons get some of the younger girls to climb the masts and help unfurl the main and mizzen sails.
Once the anchor is locked into place at the side of the forecastle, Olanis changes the song:
Heave the sheets to open the sails
And watch the position of the sun in day
And the stars at night
While we search for things to steal
From that Monstrous Captain Barthadrow!
Second Book of the Children of the Myth Machine series
Enslaving others is for the weak…
Sylvia froze in terror as the two familiar lights fell from the sky. She remembered what came with those lights and how they stole her sister from her. She pressed her palm against the bark of a sugar maple and sent a warning. This time they were prepared. Human slavers would steal no more Children of the Forest.
