Pirate the Unkindly Gentleman was written when I was in elementary school and later published during my senior year of high school. It won the Editor's Choice Award in 2010 and is currently published under my former pen name, S.C. Lauren. The first in its series, Pirate the Unkindly Gentleman is an action adventure story about a boy named Peter who joins a pirate crew called the Black Dragons. The Black Dragons kidnap the monarch's daughter, Princess Kathleen, and the series takes off from there!
Book one is at a 3rd grade reading level, and each book in the series slowly grows with the reader.

Smith has been shot and is fighting for his life, leaving the crew temporarily under the command of his first mate, Snake. Snake struggles to hold the crew together while dealing with secrets revealed by the former captain of the Annihilator, Captain Jackson; a young native girl from the New World; and the betrothal of Prince Richard to a mysterious female soldier with secrets of her own. Things go from bad to worse after their good friend, Dr. Conal, is attacked in his home, resulting in a confrontation between Snake and the country’s newest general, General Alex Ashley. Blossoming romances, Irish stowaways, and a plot to over throw the Kirkston government— can Snake pull the crew together, or will Smith awaken to his team in turmoil?

When a dark secret is revealed to Smith by an unexpected visitor, the Black Dragons start to turn on one another. This time, though, Smith will not be able to hold the crew together after turmoil from the attack at the waterfall causes him to completely abandon his crew. This time, it will be up to Princess Kathleen to restore the broken trust amongst her friends, rally the rebellion, and locate the missing Smith before John’s reign ofterror can break them. Eventually, Smith returns home after a two-year hiatus to Kirkston, and he is troubled to find the rebellion holding on by a mere thread and that their prior enemy, King Harold, is perhaps more trusted by his former crew than he could ever hope to be again. Old foes have joined forces, and a secret spy, known as El Dragon Rojo, is embedded amongst Caldara Castle and could be just what they need to take back their country. People from all walks of life must band together as the Black Dragon takes her final sail in order to bring down this government coop once and for all.
