Raven
McElderry
aka...Mary
Read
I'm Mary Read, and that's all ye need to know
!!!!! I'm always in the background, sizin' up my quarry.
I fear nothin', and no one !!!!
I am Ravan McElderry, one of the few pirates
that actually lives on an island, ( Marathon, in the Florida Keys ).
I am the Mary Read character not by choice, I was asked to portray
her, a couple of times, the character sort of became a force
of its own, and took over.
A true historical character is
difficult to do, as you have to develop and stay with believable
personality traits in a historical context.
I have pirated the East Coast from Virginia to Key West since 1998, been put
on trial, interviewed for an English newspaper, been in a German TV
production, and been pictured in books. I feel like I
always was Mary Read in my heart with or without the garb and weapons.
