I hope you mention that the man was uncomfortable with the fact that Capt James Cook or his men were not in the habit of plucking their armpit hair. (Log from HMS Endeavour, first log of July 1769).<br /><br />I remember you from the old Pirate's List back in the DOS days. And then briefly in The Cabin (forum). What happened to your draft of "Bold in Her Britches"? I don't see it listed here.John Aalborghttp://www.bleepfreepress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-7232647493727038262010-04-26T08:39:53.768+12:002010-04-26T08:39:53.768+12:00I've had my head down with my latest nonfictio...I've had my head down with my latest nonfiction book -- biography of Tupaia (no mystery about what killed him, though Captain Cook was ever so slightly culpable). Now the ms is off to the various editors, and I can pause to say thank you for the thumbs up about the latest Wiki Coffin story. Really great to see it featured on the cover of the June Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine. I just received my own copies and am really chuffed. I've also got my blog up and running again, starting with a news item about the latest AGATHA CHRISTIE production.World of the Written Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695926585496640941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-88348044919848971472009-09-09T19:53:49.077+12:002009-09-09T19:53:49.077+12:00I have Wiki Coffin books in my TBR pile, but haven...I have Wiki Coffin books in my TBR pile, but haven't managed them yet. <br /><br />I have read Island of the Lost which is fabulous! It was one of those eye-opener books for me, which not only left me feeling grateful for what I've got, but also saddened by the realisation of the skills now lost and in awe of the sheer hardiness of early immigrants. If we were shipwrecked on a Southern, arctic weather barraged island, us namby pamby modern folk would be dead in days!Vanda Symonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956034768397598056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1591679994751212734.post-65141479780768260042009-09-09T06:06:51.747+12:002009-09-09T06:06:51.747+12:00It's funny that you did a profile on Joan Drue...It's funny that you did a profile on Joan Druett. Yesterday I started reading her nonfiction book Island of the Lost and am really enjoying it so far. I didn't even realize that she also wrote fiction. Now I'm going to have to check one of those out as well. The reading pile just keeps getting larger... ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378547566593756176noreply@blogger.com
