I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney does, although, if somone want's to give me Jack, I'll gladly take him off their hands. *hopes for a sequal to the movie* (It is Disney after all)

What you have here, my dear readers, is basicaly a Historical Fan Fiction.
*Historical Note*
Anne Bonny was a real piratess. She sailed on 'The William' under the command of Captain John Rackam his colourful clothes gained him the nick name Calico Jack. After a long spree of pirating and many close calls. Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, another female crew mate Mary Read, along with the rest of the crew were caught and tried as pirates.Calico Jack was put into an iron cage and hung from a gibbet on Deadman's Cay, a small island within sight of Port Royal. Today that island is called Rackam's Cay in honor of the pirate.
Anne Bonny and Mary Read were sentanced to hang, but since they were both pregnant were reprived. Anne already had one child by Calico Jack, and he was possibably the father of the babe that saved Anne's neck. But really, who is to say. Mary Read died of fever shortly after the trial. It is not known what happened to Anne and her children.

I hope that little historical synopsis will help you to understand why I wanted to write this historical fan fiction. The bit's about Calico Jack remind me so much of Jack Sparrow. The fact that Anne was pregnant more than once will let me be able to add the right amount of romance without being to far away from history, and hopefuly this won't be a lemon. I ask you, really, what kind of woman would Jack Sparrow fall inlove with? An uptight aristocratic woman? Or a free spitited piratess with a lust for adventure to match his own?
I have always been facinated with tales of the sea, and that is why I went to see "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the first place. More than once I have started to write a tale of pirates full of action and adventure. My love of fan fiction helped me decide to write this tale. I hope you enjoy this story as I have tried really hard to blend fact with fiction. Taking some liberties, yes, but that is evident in all historical fiction.
*Special Thanks*
Thanks to David Cordingly for writing the wonderful book on pirates "Under the Black Flag." A great source for anyone intrested in real life pirates. Hightly recomended.
Thanks to the late C.S. Forester, who's Horatio Hornblower series gave me a love of ships and a better understanding of the way they worked, as well as a great inside look at the runnings of the Brittish Navy and how a young man can rise in their ranks. The eleven books in this series are also highly recomended.
I love comments, flames, of it you just want to tell me how much you love Jack, well, I'll happly listen. I'd love to hear form any of you, so please, please drop me a line.
