Pirate Speak Translator
What's Your Pirate Name?
The Pirate King
Shiver Me Timbers
Pirates of the Spanish Main


Aye, that should keep ye scurvy lot arse deep in work for a while!

As fer meself:



My pirate name is:


Black Anne Vane



Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You tend to blend into the background occaisionally, but that's okay, because it's much easier to sneak up on people and disembowel them that way. Arr!






Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19!

Me: Captain Charity Kidd

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Swab the deck, you!!

Does that mean I can have Johnny Depp now?

Fancy that. I talk like Jack Sparrow too, luv! Just what I needed, another time waster. Thanks a lot Annie.

Off topic, but I mentioned your freegan post on my blog. I was impressed with your dedication to research. I read your excerpts. Funny stuff. If you can keep that pace throughout an entire ms, you'll be setting sail in no time!

Yo-ho-ho. Cheerio! Bottoms up and all that good stuff!

As far as I'm concerned, you can Mr. Depp, Salome. He's one of my favorite actors but he's not on my celebrity to-do list.

Lainey, I'm glad you liked the beginning of the books. Alibi is coming along very well; I'm on chapter 22 now. There will be 32 chapters in the finished novel. After that, I'll take a two week break before looking at it again. I'll do basic revisions and then submit it to my beta-readers for feedback. While they're looking at it, I'll start on Free Lunch, which means I'll need to start trying to plan that trip.

I appreciate the mention on your blog. I guess there's probably a limit to what I would do for research's sake, but I don't know what that is yet!
