T.M. Franklin shares the cover for her upcoming pirate adventure novel, Cutlass, coming in August. Get more details and enter a giveaway!
T.M. Franklin, one of We So Nerdy’s earliest supporters, is a fantastic author.
Thus far, most of her work has been in the YA genre, including the MORE paranormal trilogy and one of my personal faves How to Get Ainsley Bishop to Fall in Love with You, a really sweet and entertaining high school romance.
So when I learned that T.M. was making a foray into something a little more adult, I was all for it. But then, I saw the book title, read the summary, and FLIPPED. OUT. Why, you ask? I’m freaking out because Cutlass is a pirate adventure! *insert any and all pirate-y exclamations*
Cutlass will undoubtably include exploits on the high-seas, treasure hunts, and sword fights. Yet, it’s also a story of family, vengeance, and maybe a little love, too.
Check out more below:

Sarina Talbot is certain notorious pirate, One-Eyed Jack Tremayne, murdered her father and stole his prized cutlass. Out for revenge, she sneaks onto his ship disguised as a cabin boy, but Tremayne quickly catches on to her scheme. He claims she has the wrong man, and that, if they work together, he can help her gain the vengeance she seeks.
She doesn’t really trust him, and he doesn’t trust anyone. But they need each other to find the killer, and their uneasy alliance slowly turns to friendship, and then to more.
Add in an old journal full of cryptic clues leading to a hidden cache of Aztec gold, and Sarina and Tremayne have their hands full. Between sword fights, Crown ships, enemy pirates and a traitor on their own vessel, they’ll be lucky to escape with their lives, let alone the gold.
But perhaps, along the way, they’ll find a treasure even more valuable.

See what I mean?! Cutlass is going to be such a fun read and I totally trust T.M. to give us something engaging and entertaining. Plus, I’m HERE for One-Eyed Jack shivering allllllllll my timbers 😉
Cutlass will be out later this summer on August 7, 2017. Add it to your Goodreads TBR list today.
Right now, to get folks excited, T.M. is hosting a giveaway for a $20 Amazon gift  card (which you can use to pre-order your copy of Cutlass). Enter HERE!
About the Author
T.M. Franklin writes stories of adventure, romance, & a little magic. A former TV news producer, she decided making stuff up was more fun than reporting the facts. Her first published novel, MORE, was born during National Novel Writing month, a challenge to write a novel in thirty days. MORE was well-received, being selected as a finalist in the 2013 Kindle Book Review Best Indie Book Awards, as well as winning the Suspense/Thriller division of the Blogger Book Fair Reader’s Choice Awards. She’s since written three additional novels and several best-selling short stories…and there’s always more on the way.
