G.C. Daniels is a researcher, writer, TV Producer, explorer, and dad in Florida. He has crouched, crawled, and climbed his way around ancient sites in ten countries on three continents. He began researching Native American history in the Southeast United States during college and launched dedicated websites, including LostWorlds.org and TheNewWorld.us, to share his research. After years of research, he decided to create a graphic novel for his daughter to share his passion for ancient worlds and local cultures. Inspired by the idea that you have to put your art out there and ultimately your social networks make it succeed, he believes Uleyli’s story will inspire creators, makers, and artists.
Author's Note: I started researching ancient civilizations and the histories of native people in what is now the southeastern United States about eighteen years ago. I have always been fascinated by history and the details of little-known stories. Those years of research inspired me to explore the story of Ulele and Juan Ortiz, Florida’s very own Pocahontas and John Smith.
As a father raising a young girl, I am always on the lookout for stories that are educational and that have strong female characters. Sadly, strong female characters tend to be as violent as their male counterparts, so I decided to combine my love of history and research with her love of graphic novels into Uleyli- The Princess & Pirate. This book celebrates a young Native American woman whose bravery and resourcefulness inspired an enduring legend. It is my hope that boys and girls alike will enjoy learning about Uleyli's strength and importance in history and take away positive messages about non-violence, creativity, and kindness.
