The memories just keep coming.

It’s hard to believe that almost a year has passed since my memoirs have hit the streets. Thanks to everyone who has purchased a copy of the book so far, either in print or Kindle. I must say that I’ve been overwhelmed by the response and even a few skeletons of pirates past have come out of the closet, wondering why I would tell some of these tales.

Well, the truth hurts I guess. I am just thankful that no one has taken a cutlass to me yet for some of their misadventures, both in public and in the seeming privacy of their piratical bedrooms.

If you haven’t picked up your copy yet, Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Years Before the Mast, is a no holds barred look at life as a pirate entertainer, from my days as a candidate, then member of the Seafair Pirates to the last months I lived on the Treasure Coast of Florida. It chronicles three decades in the little known piratical sub-culture that has exploded in size and reach since the 1980s.

“At one time we were the only pirates in the country here in Seattle,” said Zerr. “Now there are thousands of pirates throughout the country, from hysterical to historical. In Seattle, we were treated like rock stars in the 1980s when I was part of the group, and bending the rules, if not breaking the law, was the norm, not the exception.”

“Memoirs of a Buccaneer is filled with short stories where the truth is often stranger than fiction,” he said. “I really wanted to share bits of Seattle’s history that would otherwise be forgotten, from parade mishaps to the inevitable groupies. And of course, the many touching moments entertaining children of all ages throughout the U.S. and abroad, from almost becoming an international incident in Honduras to nearly being deported from Canada for being pirates.

Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Years Before the Mast is available on amazon.com, both in printed and Kindle versions.
