Hottie Crew Member of the Week
When we were designing this new ship, one of the things we insisted upon was good plumbing. I realize running water on a pirate ship probably sounds rather odd, be we’re very progressive pirates. And the water is right there. A very high-tech filtering system (we could tell you how it works if we knew but we don’t so we can’t) and an even higher-tech water heater (again who knows how this works) combine to provide the Romance Writers Revenge with working showers, a hot tub and a sauna. All essential for writing pirates to stay motivated.
But having plumbing means we needed someone to take care of the new systems. Regular tests, filter changes and some other, high-tech, tool requiring tasks have to be done. And to be honest, when you have a plumber that looks like this, you don’t really mind those plumber pants.

This is Pete the Pirate Plumber. He’s very thorough. And he’s such a giver, he doesn’t mind letting us test the showers with him. And he doesn’t ask questions when our shower head massagers have to be replaced monthly.
Thanks to everyone who came by last week to visit with Colette Gale. This week, we have another great author on the schedule. Wednesday, May 14, the crew welcomes Harlequin Presents/Mills & Boon author Annie West to take the helm and sail us into Billionaire, Greek Tycoon, and Sheikh infested waters. Let me tell you, if you’re looking for some major Alpha males, Annie writes them. So mark your calendar now.
And don’t forget next week we bring back one of our favorite guest wenches, Santa O’Byrne on Friday, May 23. Now, everybody in, the hot tub is open for business! Oh, and Pete is already in checking the water temp.
Hey, you don’t have to knock me down, you trampy lushes…..

Tiff - you love any man. Just sayin’…
Maggie - Stop, I’m blushing. And you need to stop eating those mushrooms first thing in the morning.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY EVERYONE!!!
Can’t believe I forgot that. I may have to post some more pics as Mother’s Day presents later on. After I take this damn exams. *grumble grumble grumble*

Yes I do! I can’t help it, I always said if I lived in historical times, chances are I was a courtesan… And I high paid one since I’m so damn particular about everything.
What’s not to love about the above…

Oh, Tiff, you’d have been very popular. And very expensive. LOL! And I mean those both as compliments, of course.
I’d have been emptying chamber pots so I’ll stay in this day and time, thankyouverymuch.

Happy Mother’s Day to you all as well!
And I’m glad we have Pete around. It’s nice to have someone around when we need it to be hot and steamy.

I see the unicorn horn too!
This was a lovely treat from the multiple exams I have. I’m with Terri. End of the semester sucks!

Nice plumber. He looks like he would be good at laying pipe if you get my drift.
Sorry- couldn’t resist.

Passing Terri a band-aid…hate it when they knock you down…do you guys have a doctor on board yet?
I’d hate to miss anyone who passes your unique crew qualifications.

Now that’s a plumber I wouldn’t mind fixing my plumbing!
Yes, I’ll be back blogging in a two weeks. Can I have a cutie gracing my post? I’m partial to geeks and Celts - have you seen the lads from Celtic Thunder?

Eileen - I’m kicking myself for not thinking of that one. Good point. Very good point.
Gillian - I should know better than to get between these wenches and a hottie. It’s my own fault really. But thanks for the band aid. And we don’t have a doctor yet. Hmmmm….I think I know what position we’ll be filling next week.
Santa - I have not seen Celtic Thunder. Have to look that up. And you know you’ll have a hottie gracing your blog. You can even have two if you’d like. *g*
