Goodreads asked R.E. Schicchi:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

R.E. Schicchi I cannot point to one particular idea.

I grew up in South Florida and have many friends from the Caribbean. I also have always liked stories about pirates and tall ships. I wanted to create a world that took place in the age of pirates.

I've always been drawn to stories about the supernatural, especially with witches. I guess it was natural for me to incorporate these ideas into this world.
