Full Length POTC Novel scheduled for 2011 Release

[ac crispin]

Hi! (Or should I say "Ahoy?") A.C. (Ann) Crispin here.

Just a bit of news for POTC fans that like to read.

Disney will be releasing the first full-length Pirates of the Caribbean novel aimed at an adult audience next May of 2011. Pirates of the Caribbean, Price of Freedom is a prequel to the first POTC film. It takes place when Jack Sparrow is 25 years old, and is the story of how he first became a pirate captain.

It's an epic length book. I did my best to make the nautical scenes as accurate as I could, unless historical accuracy conflicted with the Pirates "canon." (Which happened occasionally!)

I'm hoping that Disney will okay me to post some excerpts on my website in the upcoming months. I'm currently in the process of updating it, after not being free to discuss this project for several years.

I hope those of you who check it out will enjoy the novel.

Best,

-Ann C. Crispin
