I've got two completed manuscripts myself, but once I finish them I never think they're good enough. I hate that.

I've got a third one going now that I'm really liking at the moment. Then again, that happens every time, too.

When I started this- there was nearly nothing out there on Pirates and such. My Dad even made the comment-who would want to read about an old pirate ship. Well low and behold- Pirates of the Caribean came out and the whole world went pirate crazy. Even though the main story revolves around a 12 yr old girl, her mother and grandmother-there are characters I developed to explain the connection.

Publishers don't even want to hear about Pirates now, so I am trying to tone that part of the story down.

We've vacationed on the outer banks of NC the last couple of years. You should see all of the pirate books out there. If you could get through the editing process and self publish you might be able to find a distributor out there.

We bought some pirate books for my 5 year old while we were out there, I'll check and see if I can find publisher or distributor information in them.
