Katherine Howe is a New York Times bestselling and award-winning historian and novelist. She delves into the riveting world of piracy and maritime history in her latest novel, A True Account: Hannah Masury's Sojourn Amongst the Pyrates, Written by Herself.

Drawing inspiration from her own genealogy, the book explores how women looked for their own freedom and independence then and now, weaving a narrative around her third great aunt, Hannah Augusta Masury Howe, who famously quelled a mutiny.
