Book 1: Nor Silver, The Pirate Captain – The Chronicles of a Legend
” Widsom of the ages you seek, lad? I offer but one word: treasure. At what price does this treasure come, for not all does silver and gold make? To prose the question means you’ve not found yours, for when you do, ‘tis no longer a question of the cost to keep it, “Anything”becomes your creed.”…Pirate Captain Nathanael Blackthorne
It’s 1753. Having lost hearth and heart to the Stuart Uprising, Cate MacKenzie has lived alone for some while. Wanted for war crimes, arrest an increasing threat, she purchases passage on the first ship out of England. En route to the West Indies, the ship is boarded by Captain Nathanael Blackthorne, and she is mistakenly taken hostage.
Cate is immediately plunged into Blackthorne’s blood pursuit of two people: the man who forced him into piracy and the woman who shot him, took his ship, and left him for dead. Blackthorne is a man of contradictions; he and his ship seem both cursed and blessed. Cate finds life aboard the pirate ship is not the hell expected. Cannon, musket, and blood being so familiar, she has far more in common with the pirates than believed. She finds what she’s yearned for: a place to belong.
The Captain Nathanael Blackthorne treats her with all the affection and protection of a brother, while Cate discovers a heart thought gone to stone has softened. But, again, the scars are too many and too deep for either to accept or acknowledge. Neither dare let down their guard, even though all around can see it
But then, the ghosts of old wrongs rise to haunt Nathan, and the hard-earned trust dissolves. He flies into a violent rage and orders Cate off the ship.

After all, the past is the past…isn’t it?”…Pirate Captain Nathanael Blackthorne

Book 3: Treasured Treasures, The Pirate Captain – The Chronicles of a Legend

“Treasured Treasures” is the third volume of Captain Nathanael Blackthorne’s saga. Once again, Pirate Captain Nathanael Blackthorne discovers that Death can be an entirely temporary state. It also changes nothing: both his enemies and his past still pursue him. One might be out-run, but as to the other…?

In “Treasured Treasures” the question is answered, who is in command of the Ciara Morganse? One question answered creates more questions not answered with Captain Blackthorne… What and who awaits the Captain and the Morganse’s crew off the shores amid the treacherous waters of Dead Goat Island?
Kerry Lynne
“My Pirate Captain series is not a romance but a lifelong love story between the Pirate Captain and a Jacobite widow. It is not a story that ends in smiles and happily ever after’s but there are deep emotions shared and sacrifices witnessed. It is not a Treasure Island “wannabe,” nor will Blackbeard, Mary Reed or Jack Rackham make an appearance but there is Captain Blackthorne, Cate MacKenzie, Thomas, Hattie, and Breston Creswick. This is a story of two deeply scarred people, blinded by their defenses.It’s the story of trust, or rather, the lack of. It’s the story of a loss of faith and disbelief that Providence might ever smile again
“My intention is to publish the 4th book, “Cursed Blessings The Pirate Captain” (TBR 2023) and a full-cast theatre version Audio Drama of the first book TBR 2022. The Pirate Captain Chronicles of a Legend’s Audio Drama will feature top entertainment talent Rosalyn Landor, Sam Hazeldine, Eleanor Tomlinson, Graham McTavish and Tom Mison.”
Kerry Lynne was a history major in college and taught history for a few years. Once Lynne realized that teaching school was not the career to pursue. Kerry explored another talent – decorated art which led to a second career(37 years) of teaching and publishing (instructional manuals) in the decorative painting world. Then much to Lynne’s disdain and as luck would have it a hand stopped working so the decision was made to go back to the long-lost love of writing.
Lynne’s fictional writings include the books that are The Pirate Captain, The Chronicles of a Legend book series; The Pirate Captain – Chronicles of a Legend, (2014 Next Generation Indie Book Finalist Award for Historical Fiction),“Nor Gold, The Pirate Captain”, and “Treasured Treasures, The Pirate Captain” plus a short story written for LocoThology #3- “The Price of Victory” and“Cursed Blessings, The Pirate Captain”, the fourth book in the series TBR 2023.
