Guest Speaker 

A retired librarian, Cindy Vallar began researching maritime history while working on The Rebel and the Spy, a historical novel about Jean Laffite and the Battle of New Orleans. She is the Editor of Pirates and Privateers, a monthly column on the history of maritime piracy. She also reviews maritime fiction and non-fiction, maintains an annotated list of the best piracy and maritime sites on the web, and compiles specialized maritime resource lists. She is the Associate Editor of Industry for Solander, the magazine of the Historical Novel Society, and writes the “Red Pencil” column where she profiles authors and compares a selection from their published novels with an early draft of that work. She also reviews for their journal, Historical Novels Review. She is a freelance editor, a content editor of Pyrates Way magazine, and a workshop presenter at conferences and organizations’ meetings. She belongs to the Historical Novel Society, the Laffite Society, the Louisiana Historical Society, the National Maritime Historical Society, and the Clan Cameron Association of North America. She is the author of The Scottish Thistle, her debut historical novel about Scotland’s Rising of 1745, and Odin’s Stone, a romantic short story of how the Lord of the Isles settled the medieval feud between the MacKinnons and MacLeans on the Isle of Skye. She invites you to visit her award-winning web site, Thistles & Pirates (http://www.cindyvallar.com/), to learn more.
