valarltdAnd why I love it.
When your surname is Sparrow, you face a lot of stuff. People don't believe it. Before the movies, they just laughed. Hell, I laughed the first time Mudd told me his name and inwardly I crossed him off the marriageable list for having such a ridiculous name. I was going to marry into a better surname than my own, trade up as it were. After the movies, they've started carding me. At EVERY con, SCA event and sometimes just for laughs.
Having "Talk Like a Pirate Day" feels like having my own personal holiday. A day when I can poke fun at having the name I do, a day when I can swagger and be Captain Sparrow to my heart's content.
And boy o boy, do I have piratical goodies coming your way today!
Covers and excerpts and maybe even a contest for ARCS of the new books.
