This is my first topic so I'm going to start with why I'm here. I am currently researching Madame Ching, whom I believe was an 18th century whore turned pirate.
Can anyone suggest, recommend, point me to any resources on the orient in the mid to late 1800s? This would include any information on Ching, her husband, her crew, etc. I've chosen this as the inspiration for my 2006 Nano (National Novel Writing Month) piece and could use all the help I can get.
*laughs* not exactly a newbie question is it?
Nano starts November 1st and requires 50,000 words by the end of the month. Thanks for sparing me some time.
