It's hard to say which word I enjoyed the most: exsanguinated, ghostships, or tricorn... Words, glorious words [sung while skipping gaily round a thesaurus]. And thanks for keeping me on the right (write) side of the law, too :) Thanks Kate!

I think it's so important to be part of a writing community, to get info and support to navigate the high seas! Cheers, Meg Hi Anna,

(fantasy ones of course) Captain Somper is a genius. As for the other ones, there are just so many people out there in the world who just want to rip people off, not just in publishing but in any profession. It's just that when it comes to writing, the dagger in the heart when you find out you have been ripped off is so much more painful because writing is not just another profession. it's a passion. Oh well, life isn't easy on the high seas and we must be ever alert to the danger that could befall us. Vampirates – fantastic! (fantasy ones of course) Captain Somper is a genius.
