Ariel Lawhon on THE PIRATE QUEEN

The Pirate Queen by Ariel Lawhon follows the headstrong Grace O'Malley, a young woman who defies her family's expectations by becoming a sea captain with her own mighty fleet of ships. As she sails, she learns to defend her land, her people and herself. Ariel joins us to talk about the craft of historical fiction, defying genre, and Irish folklore with cohost Brenda Allison.
