The Voters have spoken!
The
race was a tight one. Only one vote separated the top name
from 2nd place, and several others were very close, but the
favorite pirate name is:
Captain Greydon Quinn, the Wraith of St. Jude
The
winning name was submitted by Lisa M. of Aliquippa PA.
Winner of the voter drawing is Robin W. of Raleigh, NC.
All
the finalists will receive signed copies of PLEASURING THE
PIRATE!
Thank you so much to everyone who submitted a pirate name or
voted for your favorite! I hope you had fun. I sure did.

VEXING THE VISCOUNT
video goes round the country and the world!
ef
Pirate Name Finalists!
(in
no particular order)
Arabella Du Bois, The Bell
-
I could see this madame of the seas quite
clearly, elegant and deadly. She's definitely a lady with a
past . . . and maybe a grudge to settle in the future.
Hornswogglin' Holly, Hold onto yer Belongin's
-
This made me laugh! The bag-lady of the Caribbean!
Stabber Stella, Neurotic Sea Wench
-
She's a terror in a melee, but I bet her
mates sleep lightly when she's in the next hammock.
Captain Ian Michael Wycked, "I.M. Wycked"
-
My DH picked this one. He loves puns. Don't
tell him I think Ian Michael Wycked sounds sort of sexy,
too!
Greenbeard, aka "Old Moldly"
-
Can we say clever? This entry took a pirate
stereotype and gave it such a fun twist.
Captain Iva Gott Scurvey
-
Any entry that made Diet Coke shoot out my
nose had to be included in the finalists.
Captain Billy Blackjack, Butcher of Barbados
-
Loved the alliteration. No wonder my book
titles are PLEASURING THE PIRATE, DISTRACTING THE DUCHESS
and coming March 2009 VEXING THE VISCOUNT!
Iron Balls McCormmick
-
There's a picture! Oh! You meant
cannon balls? Sorry. My bad. . .
Captain Sebastian Ashley Bennington
-
A gentleman-turned-pirate, dark, hawkish good
looks, a smoky voice, and a wicked hand with a blade. The
Scarlet Pimpernel of the Seas.
Captain Greydon Quinn, the Wraith of St. Jude
-
Definitely a ghost pirate here. Almost like
an avenging angel, with his halo slightly askew.
For your
enjoyment, I'm leaving up all the original entries.
Warning:
May cause whatever you're drinking to spew out your nose!
