The Pirate's Are Coming ! Gearing Up For Helen Hollick

click here : www.helenhollick.net for more information about the author, the book tour and all of Ms. Hollick's wonderful books


I am thrilled to be a part of Helen Hollick's 2011 blog tour!  This will be my very first blog tour and I could not be any more thrilled that I was asked to participate. Helen Hollick is one of those writers who makes you want to know her better. Her attention to historical detail, well woven plots and full, rich characters all add up to books that you just never want to end.

The "Sea Witch" trilogy is the best that a pirate series can be. I may be a bit prejudiced, but I honestly believe that it has more plot depth than the ubiquitous "Pirates of The Caribbean" --- well Johnny Depp is good at whatever he does ! This is a wonderful series that I read with zest and thorough enjoyment.  

Helen Hollick is a very well know author who has written other books that are equally enjoyable. I predict that very soon she will be as well known on this side of the big pond as she is in her native UK.

I'll be reviewing each book in the "Sea Witch" trilogy and will be interviewing Helen as well. We'll get to have some insight into her pirate-ological interests. Additionally, one lucky person will have a chance to win a copy of  the first book in the series sent to them by Helen Hollick herself!

My reviews and interview will be on July 19,20 and 21.  The tour is already underway though - and here is the lineup of reviewers who get to join in the fun.

Hope to see you here in a couple of days for your introduction to Helen Hollick and to this wonderful trilogy !
