    Once More for Old Time's Sake

    About this ebook

    Peggy Johnson answers some very important questions in this short story: Can a pirate live long enough to retire? And if they can, is it actually called retirement or is it called ‘laying low’ or ‘waiting to strike’? This is a fun little story where the author paints a detailed picture mostly through the eyes of a retired female pirate. Although very lady like now, the author descriptively captures the joyful anxiety that Anne gets when even a smidgen of her old pirate self gets to come out. You can feel her almost bubbling over with excitement at the thought of just one more sword fight or just one more race to get away from her majesty’s royal navy.
    The exquisite details that the author relates throughout the tale seem to make it very easy to be able to play each scene in your head as if you were watching a movie. Anne is intriguing from the very beginning that every paragraph adds just a little more depth to her character to the point you’ll find yourself almost rooting out loud for her as the story progresses.
