Unlike Rise of Azraea, which is set in the fictional kingdom of Caelia, Wild Justice is a fantasy novel set primarily in Boston, in the fall of 1773, with the story being told by the now 319 year old pirate, Anne Bonny. Although it includes multiple pieces of period music within the story, the music I heard in my head while writing it was predominantly modern (much like with Rise of Azraea).
How far off is Wild Justice from being available? Probably a good ways. I need one more review of the non-english dialogue to feel comfortable with it, and then it will be DONE, which considering the amount of time and energy invested in historical research, that's saying quite a lot. Unfortunately, I would like to not have to self-publish this one, so who knows? This may someday become a historical curiosity on the internet.
