Seattle, WA – USA – May 24, 2021 – In the eighth grade, Timothy Grant Acker decided he wanted to be a novelist. Acker says, “I realized that I needed to live an interesting life to pen the type of book I wanted to write. This led to a life of ‘I-can’t-believe-you-did-that’ moments, including cooking for the Hells Angels one summer when I was fifteen years old, learning to speak German and Spanish, traveling the world, flying (and crashing planes), getting in trouble in Columbia, getting a law degree, getting a masters of Mexican tax law while living in Mexico for thirteen years, boating, surfing, scuba diving, listening to all the major classic rock bands in concerts, motorcycling across Europe, starting and selling a coffee company, and starting a new law practice at sixty-five... and more; I finally did it.” Another interesting fact is that Acker believes that there are flawed people in a flawed world. He should know, having served the poor in the outskirts in Mexico while working as a corporate attorney, he met his fair share of “flawed” individuals, and now he writes about them. According to Acker, “People should read this book because it’s exciting and based on real-life... after all, pirates are still out there, flintlock pistols and schooners traded for assault rifles and black-painted Zodiacs.” The plot of the book is based on Acker’s experience as an international lawyer and pilot. “I recreate a tale of modern-day pirates in the unpredictable waters of the Caribbean.” Additionally, having lived in the Caribbean-Latino culture and marrying into it, he brings an authenticity factor to his writings.
