As you know Pirates Appreciation Day is coming up!

We’ve got some great things coming:

Pirate Q&A

POTC Series Rework!

And because I’m either evil or nice … here’s a sneak peek at some of the re-work of the 3rd Pirates story.  Stories 1 & 2 are in the edits stages after being re-worked.

“I won’t insult you by asking how you’re doing.” Nico settled himself against the opposite railing.

“I feel like I’m being pulled apart.” Will ran a hand over his face. “I have moments I’m perfectly find, usually while I’m fighting or too busy to think of anything else. Other moments I don’t think I can survive.”

“We’ll get Sparrow back.”

“I know. Even if I have to find Davy Jones and roast him over a hot pit, until he lets me into his damn locker.” Will gave him a sadistic smirk. “By the way did you know he has a kid!?”

Nico had no doubt Will would carry out his threat, and he didn’t blame him. Hedgehurst doesn’t exist anymore, so he understood better than most.   He startled at the idea of Davy Jones having a child only to roll his eyes and groan.

“Jack Frost. That was what he had meant about making sure dad didn’t do anything stupid.”

“You know him … it?” Will asked with a sense of childlike curiosity. The kid had made him smile and feel hope for the first time in weeks. He wouldn’t be able to thank him enough for that.

“He’s a Sprite.”

“As in the myths? Like Sirens?”

“He said the Sirens were mermaids.”

Will stared for a moment, and then shrugged. “I rescued Elizabeth from undead pirates and my Mate is in Davy Jones’ Locker, who I might add looks like a walking squid. So you know Sprites and Mermaids … sure why not.”

“And how do you feel about Elizabeth?” Nico needed to know, especially as they had a long journey ahead.

“The Pirate in me gets it. The Vampire in me wants her dead. Most of the time the Pirate is winning.”

“So we’ll keep Tony on her as a guard.” It was good to hear Will’s chuckle. “What’s the next part of the plan?”

“Get Jack.” He straightened up, grabbing the map.
