Five lucky winners will receive an autographed copy of Sea Robber: The Adventures of Hector Lynch, Pirate by Tim Severin. You can read my review of this book here.

Just answer these four questions:

1. What were Caribbean pirates of the 17th century called?

2. Which of those pirates preferred to observe and write about the flora, fauna,
    and weather more so than obtaining treasure?

3. What New England preacher counseled pirates before their executions?

4. Whose published account of Caribbean piracy in the 1600s is best known?
    (Hint: He was one of these pirates himself.)

Send me your answers to these questions in an e-mail. Please include your name and your answer to this additional question:

Since the publisher is sponsoring this contest, would you like to receive information about new releases and special offers from Pan Macmillan (the publisher of the Hector Lynch, Pirate series)?
Yes or No

Please note: If you’d rather not receive such e-mails, that’s fine. You’re still eligible to win the contest.

The five winners will be chosen from among those entries having the most correct answers.

If you are notified that you’ve won, you must be willing to provide me and Pan Macmillan with your name and snail mail address so your prizes can be sent to you. They will come in two packages, one from me and one from the publisher.
 
 

Contest runs Friday, May 1st
through Tuesday, May 26th.
