It is with the greatest pleasure to announce that my first book Writing Pirates: Vernacular Fiction and Oceans in Late Ming China was officially published on June 24th, 2021. Thanks to an award from the James P. Geiss and Margaret Y. Hsu Foundation, this title has an open-access digital version which is free for download from the website here: https://www.fulcrum.org/concern/monographs/8336h409h#stats
I hope you will enjoy reading Chinese stories of pirates!
