Pirates & Faith - Book 1
Orphaned at a young age, Skylar McHenry grew up as little more than a servant and shunned by everyone around her because of her reputation as a pirate's daughter. Each day Skye faces is marked by some new struggle. Her only hope is to rely on her heavenly Father's care and comfort and the solace of her best friend, Will, who has become more than dear to her.
Just when an unexpected encounter gives Skye a small glimmer of hope that things might change in her favor, her world is shattered. She is awakened in the night by cannon blasts. Pirates storm the orphanage, drag her away, and force her aboard their ship. The cruel captain's intentions are clear. He will extract from her, through any means necessary, the location of the treasure hidden by her father. For Skye to divulge the location would mean breaking the last promise she made to him. She's certain she never will, but what happens when the lives of those dearest to her are at stake? The Pirate Daughter's Promise is full of daring high seas adventure; sweet, wholesome romance; surprising discoveries; unlikely new friends; and the rewards of trusting in God even when life seems impossible. |

I began writing The Pirate Daughter’s Promise late in 2003 after I saw Pirates of the Caribbean
and thought it would be fun to write about pirates. It was the first
time I had ever thought of writing a book with a Christian message
though it started out as a typical, non-Christian pirate adventure. It
was also my first story with any romance. I was quite the tomboy in my
younger years so romance never occurred to me while writing before. The
book went well until I just stopped writing it after the fifth chapter.
I remember a strange feeling of opposition after I changed it to
contain a Christian message. I think for that reason I quit writing it
and went back to my other book projects. I hardly thought of it at all
until May 2006 when I picked it up and began writing it again. I think I
went back to it because that was right when Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
came out, and I got back into pirates. Once I started writing again, I
couldn’t stop. In all, the writing of that book took me two and a half
weeks to complete, a time period I’ve never come even close to
matching before or since.
The completion of The Pirate Daughter’s Promise was the first time I ever seriously thought about trying to get published. It had always been a dream, but nothing more. A year later after I’d seriously begun to research it, I found the WinePress Publishing website and looked into self-publishing with Pleasant Word. One year after that, I had a published book in my hand and by that time I had Every Tear, book two, finished.
