Well, my pirate story, Stolen Pleasures, must be all right. It just finaled in another contest. :laugh: Actually, it won second place in Kate Rothwell’s Short and Sweet 55 Words Contest. She chose pirates as the topic. Immersed in all things pirate for the last few weeks, how could I resist?
Here’s my 55 word entry:
STOLEN
Sebastian, Lord Merrick, had captured a bride in his most recent act of piracy.
?Who claims you?? he asked.
She flushed. ?I?m recently married by proxy.?
A shame she wasn?t his, she was ravishing. ?To whom??
?Lord Merrick.?
He stilled. Bloody hell. ?Proxy??
?H-his father arranged it,? she stammered.
She was his wife.
He grinned.
Too fun! 
My prizes?
1.) The cool winner button you can admire in my sidebar ->
2.) A copy of Kate’s new book
3.) Goodies from judge Valerie Parv
Thank you, Kate and Valerie! :hehe:
Congrats - fingers crossed that the good news just keeps coming for you!

Nah… you lost me, Peter, but for some odd reason pirates have been featured in a couple of my historicals. I wish I could say why, but honest to God, since I don’t take notes of any kind, I can never remember where any of my ideas come from. Absolutely no clue. :confused:
