Ahoy maties! I don’t know about you but I love pirates. While rewatching Pirates of the Caribbean, I came to the shocking realisation that I don’t really have many pirate books in my life. I’ve since found quite a few. I’ve only read a few for myself so far, but I definitely plan on changing that soon. In the meantime, here are a heap of pirate books that I found!

These are not by any means ALL of the pirate books out there – they’re simply the ones that I found and that interest me personally. Some might feature more of a pirate element than others, but for the majority it’s a prominent element of the plot. Most of the books are either Young Adult or Middle Grade.

Looking Forward [novel blog]

I can’t think of an actually decent post so I’m just going to run with this.

What am I looking forward to most about my book? Because the fact of the matter is I have most of the series planned out at this point. Yes, I’m one of those outlining sort of people, I like to have things planned out well in advance. I already know how book four ends. But that’s not really the point of this blog – this is about me looking forward to what I’m most excited about writing for the series. And this is mainly for those who haven’t seen this stuff before, as I have hinted to most of these in the past.

Battle of the Blades
Later in the series there will be a battle between two sword users of two different styles – the katana and the broadsword. I’m super stoked about this one. They won’t go by those names, as this is a different world and such names are nonexistent. But they are those blades in disguise. I’ve always wanted to see this fight in reality, so why not write it as well? This fight will be put on a more even level, as the broadsword in question is made of pure noggard (one of the big beasts in the series) bone. The reason for the fight happening will make the battle even more intense.

Just saying, it could be awesome.

Release the Fairies
They won’t be as involved in the first book, but fairies are going to become a major part of the series. My version of Oberon and Titania, the king and queen of the fairy people in Earth lore, will be making a cameo appearance in the series. It will be in a very… uncouth… fashion. Still, I am beyond excited for you all to see it.

Not quite this uncouth…

King of Pirates
A certain book in the series will take use of the countries’ shape, and will be hitting the high seas. Watch for pirates and pillagers, cannons and cutlasses, bombs and buccaneers, sails and… sailors… I’m running out of ideas here. Basically, it’s going to be awesome, because this time the pirates have a trick up their sleeves. And no, it is not a sword. But there will be swords! There will definitely be swords. And guns. And a lot of other weapons pirates should probably not have.

Telescopes are probably not going to be a weapon.

The Last Battle
This should probably be obvious, but there will indeed be a last battle. It’s cliche, but it’s also a lot of fun. And this one will be extra special, because something that isn’t quite as cliche is going to happen. I really want to explain, but I can’t. I just can’t, people. It makes me so sad. But trust me, this last battle will quite literally be… earth-shattering.

Just wait, Marvin. Just wait.

That’s all I have for tonight. But there will be more. Yes, there will be more. And to keep up with it, you have to follow this blog! Or just follow me on Facebook, that works too. Unless you already are. Then just stay where you are.
