In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, Tammy Gross discusses her latest novel, The Treasure Galleons. It is based on the true story of the Spanish shipwrecks in the year 1715 that gave Florida one of its nicknames—the Treasure Coast. This novel tells the story of a captain’s son who is left to confront pirates, cannibals and an angry king after a hurricane off the coast of Florida devastates his family and their fleet, which happened to be carrying $400 million worth of treasure. Tammy is also an optioned, award-winning and indie-produced screenwriter, and The Treasure Galleons began as an award-winning screenplay before Tammy decided to turn it into a novel. In this episode, I’ll chat with Tammy about her writing journey, how a trip to a pirate museum in St. Augustine, Florida helped inspire the story, and why, when it comes to writing novels or screenplays, she firmly believes that pursuing perfection is not a noble idea.
