Mothering Pirates is a descendant’s story born in history and wrapped in a tale of best friends. River Grey is the third great- granddaughter of the famous pirate Anne Bonny. Her best friend, Lexington O’Malley is the third great-granddaughter of The Pirate Queen of Ireland, Grace O’Malley. Both are redheads leading ordinary lives in Kinsale, Ireland, one a journalist and one an ER nurse. An invitation to do a story about the California Delta sends River on an adventure complete with life on a floating house and a band of river pirates, all descendants of pirates.

In the early summer of 1962 in San Francisco, three inmates escaped Alcatraz. Presumed dead, they became the most famous escapees of that inescapable island. What if they survived? On that night there was an unusual heat wave and a calm tide. Perhaps even a stroke of luck. Cincinnatus Jones, the former Frank Lee Morris, is a man reborn. He finds shelter in a deserted cabin in the Oakland Hills. Among the Redwoods in a primordial forest, Cincinnatus finds an unfamiliar yet soothing solace while remaining alert, as he is still a fugitive.
