ABOUT THE SOTWEED SMUGGLER
The
Sotweed Smuggler, the 2010 historical fiction winner of the Houston
Writer’s Guild, tells a story of suspense. Will Sherewell, the son of a
prosperous merchant marine captain, learns when his father’s will is
read, that he has inherited his ship. Living with his pious mother, he
has little knowledge of sailing and anticipates a majestic vessel.
Instead, he finds The Emperor’s Dictum aka The King’s Dick, notorious
for smuggling sotweed and whiskey between Devonshire and Scotland.
Will
yearns to be like his father and sails the Dick, enduring ridicule,
fierce storms, pirate attacks, and curses of legendary fairies and
ghosts, while finding companionship with his runaway brother and
discovering the woman he wishes to marry. In spite of his father’s
spying, treachery, murder, and Scottish border intrigue, Will learns he
served Scotland with honor defeating the outlaw MacGregor Clan. With the
new knowledge, he believes his father is their captive.
He
receives a Scottish certificate with a handwritten notation “dead.” Did
he at last find the truth? Will must choose to accept the veracity of
the document, or launch a futile one-man attack on a MacGregor
stronghold. Reluctantly accepting his father’s death, he sails home to
his new wife at Mothercombe Bay.
