About

What is a fanlisting?  [I hear you asking]    Well, the TFL definition states a fanlisting is "...a place for all fans of a particular show, movie, actor, actress, singer, etc. to come together and build the biggest listing of people from all around the world who are fans of that subject."  Easy enough.  If that sentence is too long and confuses you, a fanlisting is basically a place where people can show their love for whatever the topic is, and they do so by joining a members list.  *shrugs* onto bigger and better things ...

Now about MY fanlisting ... as most people know, I love pirates.  Anything pirates.  So when I found this book in Barnes & Nobles, I got really excited because it was about girl pirates!!!   I fell in love with it as I read it, and when I finished, I didn't want it to end!   I heard something about a sequel in the works, but I'm not sure.

Book Summary:
At the dawn of the eighteenth century, when girls stay home and sew while men sail the high seas finding adventure, danger, and gold, two unusual girls, Nancy Kington and Minerva Sharpe, one a rich merchant's daughter, the other her plantation slave, set sail from Jamaica on a ship the crew renames Deliverance.  Not just any trading ship, Deliverance flies black flags from its mast and proclaims to all that the new ship is a pirate vessel, striking fear into the hearts of those she approaches.  Or so they hope.

For Nancy, Deliverance is her escape from an arranged marriage with a controlling and devilish man.  For Minerva, it is escape from slavery, as well as from the fearsome overseer on Nancy's family plantation.   But in the end, the money, the adventure, the companionship, and the chance to see the world not as women, but as fearsome pirates, is an opportunity neither can deny.
