Over on my writing blog, I was a day early… Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. It’s a day when we we put on our best pirate accents and tell people to “Walk the Plank”. Something fun to do today is to change the language on Facebook from English to Pirate English (do it, it’s funny).

If you missed the news, the second Teapot Tales is now out and the theme this year is Pirates, Mermaids and Creatures of the Sea, what better day to have a competition to promote it?

This anthology has 26 stories from 17 authors around the World, each is unique and is sure to delight. They are all short enough to enjoy with a cup of tea, and make wonderful bedtime stories – although be warned, one story soon turns into six…

To celebrate both the launch of Teapot Tales and International Talk Like a Pirate Day, we are having a giveaway (you can also win an ebook copy of Swallow Me, NOW!). To enter, simply use the Rafflecopter link below:
