Talk Like a Pirate Day
Ahoy, me hearties! Tomorrow (September 19th) be Talk Like a Pirate Day. Aye, ye heard that right. There be an official holiday where ye get to talk like a pirate.
So what better way to celebrate than by talkin' about me own girl, Cap'n Bonnie Febland? Sure, an' I may be writin' about other characters now, but I've still got a special place in me heart for her. After all, she's got many o' the qualities I'd like to see in meself. Fearlessness, truth, an' a sense o' justice an' fair play. I tell ye, lads, I'd join aboard her ship if'n I could.
But in a way I can, an' ye can too! Aye, I'm talkin' about me book, The Treasure Beyond . If'n ye've never read me books afore, 'tis a good place to start. There be sea battles, storms, an' some fights o' the most swashbucklin' kind on the seven seas! Aye, me hearties, get yer hands on this treasure chest an' enjoy the gold inside - it'll get the wind in yer hair, an' the sea blood runnin' in yer veins.
(Now, then, where'd I put me trusty spyglass . . .)

New Year, New Videos!
Bing Crosby sang "let's start the new year right", so here at Black Otter Books, we're doing just that. I FINALLY finished the Lego trailer my brother and I made for
To Stand
and posted it on YouTube. At first I wasn't sure about this one - we had a lot of technical difficulties in filming - but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. 😅
Here's the link so you can watch it!
I also fixed the trailer we made for The Treasure Beyond - the old version (which is still on YouTube, btw; I didn't feel a need to delete it) was from the days when I was still publishing with Lulu, so the information needed updating.
In other news, I finished the first round of edits for We Gave Our Tomorrows . I'm planning to have my editor (dad) look at it another time before sending it to beta readers.
