Gunpowder Gertie

Oi- wait'll ye see me NEXT video.....

Took me name from a legendary Canadian Pirate- from BC! Gunpowder Gertie- Pirate Queen o' the Kootenays! A bit beyond the GAoP, more from the steampunk era I be thinkin'. And totally fictional. But- seeing, as we shared the same last name, a LOT of geographical details, and some other similarities - I figured who better t' be a Gunpowder Gertie-than ME? Though lately I be findin' meself hailed a bit more as Dirty Gertie- but then, tha's from me habit of being less than well scrubbed, in me piratical persona!

Well- I've just finished this book. Picked it up in the discount bin for 11 bucks. First edition to boot. Quick read. You can tell it's a first draft- but- it wasn't too bad. I mean, it kept my interest for the most part. Just needed someone to go in, beef up some details, do some character development, and provide a narrative. it was as someone else has said, a traditional pirate story. It's not like it's time I wished I had back, or anything like that. A good bedtime read..I could fall asleep and not worry too much when I picked up the book the next day.And- I wanted to pick it up the next day. I wasn't even tempted to scan ahead and read the end..always a good sign!

Aye- I was a bit too clever fer me own good, and bit off more than I could chew, as 'twere. But- they're done now- and on the WAY! I have learned that the summer is perhaps not the best time fer me to participate in such endeavours- and if I do, I must be much more simplistic in my approach! All me apologies to those what I made wait..and to Pew, who was way too patient. Thankee sirrah!

Aye! Happy birthday t' ya Lass! Ale and meat pies all round!

Aye! I am also very interested t' see yer new buckle designs! and rings! Definitely want t' see those rings.

Happy Birthday, Lass! Did I hear there's be meat pie? I mean....cake????
