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!
What Pirate do YOU Talk Like?
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?
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!
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!
