Photographer Kyle Cassidy profiles several books, including The Duke and The Pirate Queen – he’s the namesake of an evil pirate character in the book. He is not really an evil pirate. But at his post, you can see him dressed as one.
Also, RT Book Reviews reviewed The Duke & The Pirate Queen.
And:
I’m having a launch party for The Duke and The Pirate Queen and if you’re in the area, I’d love for you to attend.
