Caesar's Revenge

It's been in my head so long...maybe past life memories;)

3. What genre does your book fall under? 
Historical Fiction

4.Which actors would you like to see in a movie of your book?
No one in particular. The villain from Serenity would be good.

Ex-slave, turned pirate, Black Caesar, captures his former master's ship and renames it the Revenge, but gets more than he bargained for when his mutinous crew attempts a near suicidal raid against his master's treasure fortress...from which no pirate crew has ever returned alive.

Crichton's Pirate Latitudes and Stevenson's Treasure Island. 

9. Who/what inspired you to write this book?
Good pirate books and bad pirate movies...but for different reasons. 

10. What else would pique a reader's interest in your book?
It's a revenge tale, who wouldn't like to read that? ;)

    Sounds good to me, sir! I too am taking the traditional route. Might as well aim high, right?

    Tried to read your post on "Piracy" but couldn't see it -- and the comments took me to this post. Blogger misbehaving, perchance?
