Crossbones

This is just a quick note. I've been a bit frustrated of late because, without paying for cable, I haven't been able to watch any episodes of Black Sails since the premiere. I am excited to note, however, that NBC's series Crossbones is set to launch--on broadcast television, mind you--on Friday, May 30th (per the show's Facebook page). Check out the website for more information.

UPDATE
The site now has a trailer for the show, and it has me even more excited.

Corsair Review

It's been a while since I last posted, due to a hard drive failure that's now been remedied. As I catch up on writing, in this post I'll start small with a book review.

Review of Corsair
I'm always on the lookout for nautical fantasy novels. Recently I've been reading a lot of non-fiction regarding piracy, but I also stumbled across a book called Corsair by Chris Bunch. All in all, I enjoyed it. It read more like a campaign condensed into one novel than like the adventure of one or a few sessions, which meant that the plot took a while to form. It also felt like it set up a sequel, sadly one that will never happen. To its credit the book had lots of action and the author was not averse to killing characters. In that way it made me think of a party of PC's traveling with their crew, engaging with enemies and knowing that not all will survive. Finally, it had plenty of seafaring detail. If you're interested, check it out.
