SPOTLIGHT: The Pirate's Physician

I have often mentioned that the most incredible thing about being an author is... other authors! Since first being published in '19, I have become friends with authors in England, France, Austria, Australia, Ireland, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, and the good old USA. It has been rejuvenating, when I face a nasty review or a difficult edit, to turn to some of these friends who deal with the exact same issues. I have a genuine author's support group, and it's such a wonderful, encouraging bunch of writers. Each has their own unique voice and talent with their work, and this week, it's a privilege to welcome one of them--my friend Amy Maroney back to Brook's Journal.

Recently, Amy asked me to advance-read her newest book--a novella. This short, but very complete story was a wonderful journey through her favorite period: the Renaissance! Amy has a love for not only the mid to late 15th century, but for the Mediterranean, an area often overlooked during this era in favor of Great Britain or Italy. Well, let me assure you that there was just as much fascinating history going on there as in the Tudor courts or the studio of Leonardo da Vinci.

So, welcome back Amy Maroney! I'm so pleased your Pirate is published and ready to read! It's such a fun book!

Read ON, friends!

All About the Book

When her world shatters, she dares to trust a pirate. Will she survive what comes next?

The Pirate's Physician is the story of Giuliana Rinaldi, a student at Salerno's famed medieval medical school, whose lifelong dream of becoming a physician crumbles when her uncle and mentor dies suddenly.

Faced with an unwanted marriage to a ruthless merchant, Giuliana enlists the help of a Basque pirate and flees home for the dangers of the open sea.

Will she make it to Genoa, where her only remaining relative awaits? Or will this impulsive decision seal her own doom?

A delightful seafaring adventure packed with romance and intrigue, The Pirate's Physician is a companion novella to the award-winning Sea and Stone Chronicles series of historical novels by Amy Maroney: Island of Gold, Sea of Shadows, and The Queen's Scribe.
