I don’t think we have enough sport here on the ship.  Yes, yes, I know what you all are saying.  What the hell has she been smoking now?  But stay with me here.  I believe you’ll see the pay off by the end. 

It’s redundant to say we’re a lazy lot.  We are pirates after all.  But physical activity, exertion if you will, is a great way to get the mind working.  Get the juices flowing.  (Don’t get ahead of me now.)  Get the imagination working to get words down on paper.  So, I’ve decided we need to add a trainer of sorts to the crew.  Ladies, meet Murphy.

As you can see, Murphy is a Rugby player.  (Or perhaps you haven’t found the Rugby ball in this picture which is totally understandable.)  This may seem like an odd sport with which to start, but have you ever watched Rugby?  There are no helmets.  No shoulder pads.  No whining over something silly like a broken finger or severed leg.  No, these players are tough.  Just like Pirates.

So this week we’ll begin learning the Rugby ropes from Murphy and by fall we should be ready to hit the field for real.  (Side note: I have no idea what time of year Rugby is played but for the sake of eye candy like Murphy, I’m willing to learn.)

Now, everyone please be ready on the top deck by noon and we’ll get started fulfilling every wenches goal of being an athletic supporter.

I am super excited to announce The Romance Writer’s Revenge is kicking June off with a bang.  Tomorrow, Toni Blake will be joining us once again and this time she’s talking writing as acting.  Be sure to be here and give Toni another warm, Pirate welcome, and don’t forget to pick up her latest release, Letters to a Secret Lover.

Also this month, we’ll be welcoming Loucinda McGary on Friday the 13^th.  *cue eerie music*  Loucinda’s first novel, The Wild Sight, will be hitting shelves Oct 1^st and who better to have on Friday the 13^th than an author who writes about second sight and wonderful Irish folklore?! For your own introduction to Loucinda’s work and the hero of her first book, Donovan O’Shea, whom I have totally called dibs on, check out her website today.
