Rachel Rueckert Swashbuckling Novel “If the Tide Turns” (Berkeley)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join us on Friday, May 10th at 7pm for a swashbuckling pirate and witch party with debut author RACHEL RUECKERT to celebrate her new novel If The Tide Turns. There will be prizes, trivia, an educational presentation/reading, snippets of Rachel’s new, literary historical fiction novel, and lots of fun. You will leave knowing 10 things you didn’t know about real pirates.

Pirate and witch costumes are not necessary, but they will be rewarded. And Rachel promises you want some of the plunder! Free exclusive pirate and witch stickers with each book purchased.

Set during the Golden Age of Pirates and the shadowy aftermath of the Salem witch trials, this vivid literary debut is inspired by the captivating true story of real-life pirate Samuel Bellamy, combining high seas adventure, star-crossed longing, surprisingly timely questions about social justice and freedom, and the emotionally satisfying tale of one strong-willed young woman determined to choose her own path.

RACHEL RUECKERT is an award-winning writer, editor, and teacher who holds an MFA from Columbia University and an M.Ed. from Boston University. On her first visit to Provincetown, Massachusetts, she learned about the true story of Anne Bonny, Mary Read and Samuel Bellamy and vowed to write their story, returning to Cape Cod again and again over the years for research and freedom in the shape of solace. If the Tide Turns is her debut novel. She splits her time between Salt Lake City and Cambridge, MA and can be found online at RachelRueckert.com
