Cindy has written more on pirates and piracy
than anybody I know of. Contacting Cindy, I found a
knowledgeable resource who was willing to answer
numerous questions, offer advice, and wisdom. You can
find anything you want to know about pirates in
Cindy's articles and publications. She is the pirate
lady. -- Michael Aye in his

I
just spent about 2 hours reading through your pirate
website . . . WOW . . . you have some really well
written articles. Typically, when I read an article
about pirates, I find myself bored (especially on
Wikipedia) because the writers try to put too many facts
in their writing and not enough story, but you do a
great job writing out your articles creatively and
adding plenty of illustrations. -- Kyle Keniston, Pure
Pirate
Your site is one of the most
comprehensive and informative sites that I have found.

you've put into this is truly above and beyond anything I've
ever seen, on a website, on any topic. You are simply
amazing. I would just like to say thank you, for putting
your site together and researching all that you have to
present such material in an easy-to-read online format.
Thank you, Cindy. You've pulled me from these dull modern
times as I'm sure you have done with so many. I look forward

Cindy
Vallar provides a welcome balance to the silliness of most
historical piracy web sites. Vallar has been writing and
reviewing pirate and maritime fiction for many years. Her
web site . . . content is quite impressive. On her "Pirate
Articles" page, she provides an engaging and intelligent new
article each month about some aspect of piracy, from pirate
lingo and literature to pirate clothing and vessels. --
Peter McCracken, "Maritime History on the Internet" column,
Summer 2010 edition of Sea
History

Pirates
and Privateers…a nice collection of known and unusual
facts/items with clear explanations. It is not very often
that you come across a book that gives you accurate
bite-sized info on all to do about pirates. The part about
Grace O'Malley and Jean David Nau was good – as most people
always talk in length about Blackbeard, etc. It was good to
have ‘lesser’ known pirates included. I learned quite a bit
from your writing. P. E. Alty, author of The
Country Pirate
I found
your site to be interesting and informative. Thanks. W. Comrie

amazing. I have spent hundreds of hours here in the past
three years while researching various topics…. Thank you so
much for making my research life so much easier! Marc Shafer, Hartford, CT

little pirate handbook you wrote. If I can ever get a band
of re-enactors together, I'd recommend that tome for

So
here I am searching for Mr. Morgan no sign and then poof
your beautiful words made me print it. It is so
interesting that someone could write everything about the
buccaneers to Captain Morgan. I had a ARRRR of a
good time reading your information. Nick, a Sixth Grader
Most
of what I was finding was extremely elementary and skimpy,
at best, then I found your site. Thank you for your
efforts. Jim

I enjoy reading all the things you assembled and that it's
of invaluable help to me...your website is a treasure
trove of information. It also gives me fresh energy to
keep writing...and one day try for publication, too.

Many,
many thanks for your gracious reply to my request about
Scottish Pirates. I must say that the quality of your
answer, both in terms of research and interest astounded
me. The revelations that you expose in your work gives us
a rather more mature insight into that wicked world [of
piracy]. You have lit a spark that has lain dormant for a
very long time. I hope you continue to inspire many
others! Tom
Why,
this contains all I require! Modern piracy, Asian
pirates, and Davis et al in the Mediterranean! Nice
format, too...very tidy and easy to use. Erica
I
really enjoyed the articles. Of all the people who
have utilized info from our reports and via interviews, you
have been the only one able to grasp the issue and put it
into an easy to read/understand format. I especially
like the way you were able to weave the statistics into the
articles. Captain David
Kellerman, founder of MaritimeSecurity.com and author of Worldwide
Maritime Piracy & Marine Security Management and
Piracy Countermeasures
I
love your pirate site! Wonderful! Fast, fun
research that was enjoyable as well as informative. If
anyone needs pirate info, this is the place to start!

I
want to second the kudos for the Pirates and Privateers
site. Great work. Jesse F. Knight
I
recently chanced upon your page of pirate info and was very
impressed...and want to thank you for referring readers to
my story on "Gentleman Pirate...." Your page, by the
way, inspired me to join Suite101.com. Joe
Geringer, author of Jean Lafitte: Gentleman Pirate
I
wanted to say that I found your site on Suite101.com
excellent. I have looked in the past for information
about pirates on the Internet but the information is often
basic and anecdotal. This was just the kind of
information I was looking for, and will be helpful for
further research. I look forward to your future
articles. Bob

What
a great job you did!!! I will be using that sight
often in my research. It also led me to other really
interesting sights. Jennifer
