renee Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 here is the information: "WAYNE CURTIS, A FREELANCE WRITER IN MAINE, IS CURRENTLY AT WORK ON A CULTURAL HISTORY OF RUM".
Wartooth Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 SOLD! When is the publishing date? Will it come with free samples? Is it necessary to be in an alcoholic stupor upon purchasing that fine tome? Easily done, ye know! Why are me hands shaking? Woo-hoo! Nothin' better than pouring a bit of Appleton's over me Boo-Berries! Hope me eyes can stay open long enough to actually read that book. Wartooth
PyratePhil Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 This is a snatch from his bio... Wayne Curtis PO Box 7, Peaks Island, ME 04108 I'm an experienced nonfiction magazine, newspaper and book writer especially comfortable in covering topics related to travel, architecture, history, spirits (the drinking kind), and sense of place. Current project: Thoreau once wrote of "a demon not distinctly named in old mythology, who has acted a prominent and astounding part in our New England life, and deserves, as much as any mythological character, to have his biography written one day." He was writing about rum. I'm currently at work on that biography - a cultural, economic, and political biography of rum from 1640 to the present, to be published in 2006. Sorry, Wartooth - ye got's another year ta go at least! ...Qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum... ~ Vegetius
Nelson Cooke Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 If the author needs it, I am definitely available for research.
Wartooth Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 If the author needs it, I am definitely available for research. I've already done the research. Several times, in fact. But keep losing the damned notes. Probably shouldn't be writing them down on cocktail napkins. Wartooth
JoshuaRed Posted January 25, 2005 Posted January 25, 2005 Damn! I used to live just across the harbor from Peaks! Used to go there on a fine summer sunday for cold ale and live reggae. Too bad I wasn't still up there, I could meet up with this cat and get the scoop for Pyracy.com!
blackjohn Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Add it to the list. I have a copy of Hugh Barty-King & Anton Massel: Rum Yesterday and Today. "Neat" stuff, rum. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
