I usually never do New Year's resolutions, but I do have one for 2025: to get back to writing. Stop over-filling my to-do lists and social obligations and get back to what I love most. I have 2 novels I want to get the rough drafts done in 2025, with possibly publishing one of them. Motivated.

So @piratebeckalex.bsky.social & I have been keeping a secret that we can now share: we’re writing a book together! “Pirates & Privateers in 50 Objects” will explore how material culture can provide an insight into maritime commerce raiding across time & space. 🏴‍☠️ #PirateHistory

4 years ago, I found James Armistead Lafayette's emancipation papers deep in digital archives. I wanted to quote the document in my novella about his life. I owe my freedom to men and women who never had their own. So I'll continue to tell their stories.

Wow, hey everyone!!! So exciting to see so many familiar names. Love that all the historians and authors have congregated on one site again. Here's to sharing honest history and building our community again ❤️

Hi BlueSky! I'm new to the site so apologies as I figure it out-- I'm a #historicalfiction author with 2 masters degrees and a passion for all-things 18th Century, especially the American Revolution era and the "Golden Age of Piracy." My books: www.amazon.com/stores/autho...

The starter pack for the world we live in? So much a product of the world made by colonialism. Made a super quick first pass and it was easy to get to 125 folks and a few orgs (mostly) working in the early Americas. Let me know who's missing/ new here! #VastEarlyAmericas go.bsky.app/RDvzxbj
