Nelson Cooke Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 It's a comedic, modern-day pirate novel called "Pirates of Pensacola." St. Martin's Press is publishing it using an alias for me (for reasons I'm sure are obvious to you, shipmates). For plot summary and reviews and stuff like that, drop anchor at PiratesofPensacola.com. If any of you lopers buy the bastard, I'll send you a bookplate (fancy publishing word for sticker) with a hand-writ inscription on it.

Anyways, keep thy pistols primed and watch thy back with them Hollywood people. I knows from experience that they can skin an honest pirate while soothin' brow and feedin' him mangoes and cocoanut. Beware. Meanwhile, congratulations.

Red Bess Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I was strolling through Barnes & Noble Booksellers Friday night, and the bloody thing nearly jumped off the shelf at me! It looks quite entertaining, and I intend to actually purchase a copy (rather than standing in the store reading it) later this week. Congratulations, mate! I wish you much success!

lorien_stormfeather Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 I think it would be rather interesting to meet a pirate Novelist. Any big book tours coming up? Perhaps your publicist has heard of Powells City of Books in Portland, OR? I'd think you'd draw a crowd here... http://www.powells.com Congrats and best of luck to ya mate! and I'll give it a go as soon as I finish the "Surprise". Did ya send a copy to Bilge Monkey? He be the pirates' own cyber critic (and a nice monkey to boot!)
