Yesterday marked the #arggghsome launch of A World Apart and we had great fun with a blogger competition (still ongoing), everyone competition (still ongoing), renaming our cats and raising money for the RSPCA (still ongoing) and a Tweet chat. One of the most popular tools was introduced to us by author Alison DeLuca, who gave us the opportunity to discover our very own pirate names.
In addition, I am also giving a shout out to Kriss Morton over at the Cabin Goddess and her #SundayShorts. I don’t normally play because Sunday is my day off and I like to be commitment free and slovenly for the day. However! I discovered this and it seemed the perfect #SundayShort for this week.
So, enjoy the #SundayShort video and then vote in the poll to let us know which is the best pirate name.
First: the #SundayShort – in video form
Second: the poll
Let us know your pirate name!
Demetrius makes his first mistake when he lets his best friend Halcyon marry Eleyna, the love of his life, without saying a word. On the day of the wedding, he walks away from the Elencheran town of Dove’s Meadow and joins the army. He makes his second mistake when the pirate Black Iris tricks him into letting dozens of men, women and children die in a fire. Demetrius is imprisoned in grief and disgrace.
But he can atone. The Black Iris is dead. The Ivory Rose has risen to the top of the pirates and is leading brutal raids on the coast. If Demetrius can capture and kill her, he’ll win his pardon.
And then Demetrius discovers the Ivory Rose is Eleyna. He must decide which will be his third mistake: losing his last chance at a pardon, or destroying the one woman he’s ever loved.
