Katherine Bone

National Bestselling Historical Romance Author Katherine Bone has been passionate about history since she had the opportunity to travel to various Army bases, castles, battlegrounds, and cathedrals as an Army brat turned Officer's Wife. Who knew that an Army wife's passion for romance novels would lead to pirates? Certainly not her rogue, whose Alma Mater's adage is "Go Army. Beat Navy!" Now enjoying the best of both worlds, Katherine lives with her rogue in the south where she writes about rogues, rebels and rakes, aka pirates, spies, the Royal Navy, and duty, honor, and country and the happily ever afters every alpha male and lady deserve.
As an Army wife raising four children, romance helped Katherine weather loneliness. Now she hopes to pay it forward, to ease readers’ burdens by taking them on a swashbuckling, adventurous voyage into historical romance and beyond.

Chloe Flowers

​A Parrothead at heart, Chloe’s love for pirates began with Peter Pan and continued with Pirates of the Caribbean and ghost stories about pirates from the Outer Banks. She listens to Celtic music while she writes. When life gets too serious, she reads Calvin and Hobbes comics. She lives in Ohio with her tall, dark and handsome husband, three children and two rambunctious dogs, Indiana and Luke, who are named after her two favorite action heroes.
Descended from a family of cooks and gourmet chefs, Chloe is a true foodie and along with working for fortune 500 companies in marketing and teaching MBA students strategic marketing, she also ran a gourmet cookie company. Cooking for a crowd runs in the blood, so her fridge is always full. She deals with stress by baking pies (just ask her college roommates what it was like for them around exam time).
Her idea of a perfect day? Sailing on the Caribbean with her family, sun in her face and wind at her back, and finishing the day in the kitchen making a fab gourmet meal and sipping a glass of wine.
The Pirates & Petticoats Series is about spunky heroines and the scoundrels who love them.

Barbara Devlin

USA Today bestselling, Amazon All-Star author Barbara Devlin was born a storyteller, but it was a weeklong vacation to Bethany Beach, DE that forever changed her life. The little house her parents rented had a collection of books by Kathleen Woodiwiss, which exposed Barbara to the world of romance, and Shanna remains a personal favorite. Barbara writes heartfelt historical romances that feature flawed heroes who may know how to seduce a woman but know nothing of marriage. And she prefers feisty but smart heroines who sometimes save the hero, before they find their happily ever after. Barbara earned an MA in English and continued a course of study for a Doctorate in Literature and Rhetoric. She happily considered herself an exceedingly eccentric English professor, until success in Indie publishing lured her into writing, full-time, featuring her fictional knighthood, the Brethren of the Coast.

Kamery Solomon

Kamery is not the person who grew up dreaming of the day that she would clutch her very own novel to her chest, tears brimming over the rims of her eyes as she thought about how she'd written it herself, finally! In fact, anything remotely like that didn't even happen until she was actually holding her first book in her hand, amazed that she'd written it and wondering how on Earth she'd managed to do it when it hadn't ever occurred to her to write one until months before. Surprisingly, though, it was just what she never realized she loved doing.
When starting out in life, Kamery had (and still has) big dreams to perform on Broadway. She loves music and acting very much, while she and dance have a love/hate relationship; she would love to do it and every form of dance decides it hates that about her, haha! The one constant she always had between the performing world and the book world were the stories, tales that transported her to other worlds and made her feel like she really could do anything. Finally, she decided she wanted to do that for someone else and sat down to write.
It's been a few years since she held that first book, realizing that she really liked writing and wanted to do more, but the love that blossomed in that moment has only grown. Currently, Kamery works from home in Arizona, while taking care of her two adorable kids, a girl and a boy, and talking her sweet husband Jake's ear off about the insane amount of characters in her head who are ready to fight to the death for a chance at their own novels. It truly is a wonderful life!

**Here's the story so far....
​it will be updated with new clues daily from now on.....

Ahoy, come aboard.
Pipe all hands.
Grab ye a tankard o' rum
or a glass o' grog
and a hardtack or two.
If yer new to this merry trade,
then ye must sign the articles
in yer own blood.
Know ye this- tis give and take, share and share,
leave nothing behind.
So sit yer arse down
hear me tale
of a Swashbucking pirate
a true buckaneer
of the darkest accord.
Captain Bone, a pirate wench
enlisted in the service of the devil
went cruisin' fer booty
with the Brethren of the Coast,
on a fine corsair called the Regent's Revenge.
Pirates and Petticoats joined her crew,
ruthless Ladies, and Scoundrels black-hearted,
Swept Away by the lure of treasure troves,
and barrels of rum and wine.
No fears had she of the Heroes of the Sea.
No worries the Royal Navy would find her.
Through the glass she spied
One bloody sunrise,
that hell- hound and fire-eater,
gut-cutter and spawn o' the devil,
and son of a tavern hag,
Bone's former lover-Captain Skull.
Romancing the Pirate had been a mistake.
Now snarling enemies they be.
Captain Bone shouted her orders.
"Let loose the top gallants!
Open the gun ports!
Ready the guns with bar shot
and blow away his spars!
Split the ribs of his ship wide open
with 24 pounders broadside!
Spray the decks with grapeshot.
Send Skull back to the devil
where he was concieved!"
Now, Captain Skull weren't no labberneck.
And tho' he fought
like a sea wolf,
He was no match for the Regent's Revenge.
Captain Bone sent Skull to Davy Jone's locker
The boatswain said "He wouldn't be dead
Had he not left Lady Bone at the alter."
Fair winds to ye mates!
