Rebecca Simon

I am a Los Angeles native with a PhD in history from King's College London (2017) specializing in pirates and public executions. I have written two books about pirates:

- Why We Love Pirates: The Hunt for Captain Kidd and How He Changed Piracy Forever
and

- Pirate Queens: The Lives of Anne Bonny and Mary Read (published under a different name)

My third book, The Pirates' Code: Laws and Life on the Pirate Ship will be out in 2023. I am currently gearing up to finish my pirate novel during NaNoWriMo (2022).

When I'm not writing you can find me reading in coffee shops, teaching history, singing, seeing friends and family, playing with my dog (Pippin), and off on an adventure somewhere.

Eric Jay Dolin

I grew up near the coasts of New York and Connecticut, and since an early age I was fascinated by the natural world, especially the ocean. I spent many days wandering the beaches on the edge of Long Island Sound and the Atlantic, collecting seashells and exploring tidepools. When I left for college I wanted to become a marine biologist or more specifically a malacologist (seashell scientist). At Brown University I quickly realized that although I loved learning about science, I wasn't cut out for a career in science, mainly because I wasn't very good in the lab, and I didn't particularly enjoy reading or writing scientific research papers.

Robert Louis Stevenson

Robert Louis Balfour Stevenson was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of English literature. He was greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov.

Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the Western canon.
