With a lifelong passion for history, award winning author, Robert Jacob, has been heavily involved in education and living history interpretation for over 50 years. During the past 18 years he has focused on the golden age of piracy. While researching information on the golden age of piracy, Robert realized that most of the publications on the subject were contradictory and even incorrect. This motivated him to write his award-winning publication, A Pirate’s Life in the Golden Age of Piracy. After its release, his readers expressed a strong interest in the pirates that visited the coast of Florida. This inspired Robert to write his second award winning book, Pirates of the Florida Coast: Truths, Legends, and Myths. In addition to writing and lecturing, Robert currently holds the office of President of the Florida Authors and Publishers Association (FAPA).
