Author Information

George Choudas lives and works in New York City. He is a corporate litigator and a former FBI agent. The Pirate Primer was inspired by a trolley ride taken in Key West, Florida, during which a coarse shop owner-cum-pirate charged after the sightseers on foot, swinging a cutlass and screaming pirate epithets.
