It's Zelda the cat, she can't be anything other than descriptive. And here's a weird thing, the pictures Zelda_the_Non-Cat posted the other day of her cats, the second one is exactly how I pictured the Zelda in the stories I love it when a plan comes together (In Hannibal Smith voice from the A-Team)

second picture, or second cat ? (either way, you know i'm thrilled to help out your muse moejoe would you believe me if i said i got that cat *just* because i knew one day she would be just the cat to inspire a series of stories ? no ? well, fair enough. )

We also have many of Rafael Sabatini's works here. Two of which are "Captain Blood" and "The adventures of Captain Blood." Great pirate books. He also had lots of pirate themes in many of his novels.

I've just posted a nice illustrated version (in various formats) of the classic pirate story "Black Bartlemy's Treasure", by Jeffrey Farnol. Be warned, though - unlike "Treasure Island", etc, this one really is not a children's story and contains some pretty graphic scenes of violence.

... and just to round things off, an ePub version of the illustrated edition of "Treasure Island" that I created a while ago.

All it is is a day designed to sell a book. I've seen the website and it's a sham. SO don't fall for this or you'll be laughed at by thouse of us who are not falling for this sham/scam.
Ssshhh! I have convinced my boss it's a real holiday, and he lets us get away with wearing eyepatches and bandanas and answering the phone with "Arr, me hearties!"

Don't tell him it's a scam; he'll take away our fun!

Besides, it's a holy day to the priests of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I saw your "National Talk like a Pirate" day, and I had to come out of hiding... I am a huge Tampa Bay Buccaneer fan (God help me--I'll accept your condolences)...so everyday is talk like a Pirate day for me.

...drink up me mateys yo ho!
