valarltdI accomplished nothing except getting Olivia packed off to Ohio, cutting up a watermelon, making lunch and writing the synopsis for my space pirate story.
Taking title suggestions.
Commander Cliff Cody is the paragon of the Space Exploration Rangers, the darling of the galaxy-wide media. His charming three-dimpled smile, wavy hair and square jaw have inspired thousands of young men to don the midnight blue of the Rangers, and millions more to try for it.
So when he and his two husbands, Jake and Frank, are publicly stripped of their honors and uniforms and packed off to a prison planet for violating the Code of the Rangers, the galaxy is aghast.
But the hero of the spaceways is indomitable, escaping from the prison planet with his men, and turning pirate. He allies himself with the most feared and elusive pirate in the galaxy, Rafe Fioved, and together they make life a merry hell for the authorities.
The media adores their exploits and Cliff's fame soars. Then comes the day when the truth is revealed. Cliff hands Rafe and his galaxy-wide pirate network over to the Rangers. He and his husbands are reinstated and the legend only grows larger. As both his husbands can attest.

Your titles are all too serious. This is high camp swashbuckling. if it were a movie, it'd be technicolor, and Queen would do the soundtrack and you could see the blue screen effects.
This is shining towers of glass and steel, rubber jumpsuits and freeze dried meals. It's bubble helmets and ray guns.
It's for an anthology called, I kid you not, Butt-Pirates in SPAAAAAAAAAAAACE One of the other stories is titled "What to expect when your husband's expecting."
