Welcome aboard the pirate ship Banshee.
Cariad Baillie has a lead on a story that could finally make her a proper journalist. She just needs a ship to take her to a set of mysterious coordinates where a lucrative job awaits the right crew. She finds passage with Captain Clio Landau, a steely widow with no memory of the first thirty years of her life.
Once they're underway, Cariad finds herself surrounded by rough women and outlaws the likes of which she's never seen. The daughter of a rich family who gave up her inheritance to be a doctor. A seductive Spanish cook who makes Cariad think of things she's always tried very hard to ignore. A stoic Greek woman who allegedly hasn't set foot on land for decades. A Persian first mate who has her captain's back no matter what, and an Indian gunner who would fight the entire world to protect her crew.
Cariad sets sail with these ferocious outlaws to find the answers she seeks, and some answers she didn't even know she was looking for.

Geonn Cannon was born in a barn and raised to know better than that. He was born and raised in Oklahoma where he's been enslaved by a series of cats, dogs, two birds and one unexpected turtle. He's spent his entire life creating stories but only became serious about it when he realized it was a talent that could impress girls. Learning to write well was easier than learning to juggle, so a career was underway. His high school years were spent writing stories among a small group of friends and reading whatever books he could get his hands on.
Geonn was inspired to create the fictional Squire's Isle after a 2004 trip to San Juan Island in Washington State. His first novel set on the island, On the Air, was written almost as a side project to another story he wanted to tell. Reception to the story was so strong that the original story was put on the back burner to deal with the world created in On the Air. His second novel set in the same universe, Gemini, was also very well received and went on to win the Golden Crown Literary Society Award for Best Novel, Dramatic/General Fiction. Geonn was the first male author to receive the honor.
While some of his novels haven't focused as heavily on Squire's Isle, the vast majority of Geonn's works take place in the same universe and have connections back to the island and its cast of characters (the exception being the Riley Parra series). In addition to writing more novels based on the inhabitants of Squire's Isle, Geonn hopes to one day move to the real-life equivalent to inspire further stories.
Geonn is currently working on a tie-in novel to the television series Stargate SG-1, and a script for a webseries version of Riley Parra.
