My pirate-detective novel is in pre-preduction stages.

[B.R.Stateham]

Just heard from the publisher my novel, Ffolkes' Medicine is gearing up to go into the pre-preduction stages. From what it sounds like, it should see the light of day say somewhere around. . . oh . . . Spring of 2050?

Maybe sooner.

But it's a different kind of detective novel. A loud mouth pirate living in Port Royal, Jamaica in the 17th Century. The perfect place to find a dead body or two lying around on a daily basis since it was the pirate haven of the Caribbean at that time.

And the character's personality? Think of Cyrano de Bergerac meets Sherlock Holmes.

And yeah! I'm hyped!

[Pepper Smith]

Cool. Keep us posted!

[Donna Carrick]

Wow, B.R., I'm so happy for you! I'll watch for the news of release...

[I. J. Parker]

Ooh, I love it. It sounds wild and woolly. All thye very best!

[B.R.Stateham]

A new sub-genre? Naw, I'd say it falls into the category of historical-detective.

[Jack Getze]

A whole new sub-genre. Way to go, BR.

Actually Jon, I think if Geoffery Armitage Ffolkes was alive--you and he would become instant drinking buddies. Both of you share a lot of distinctive personality traits. And the funny thing is, I wrote this two years before I ever found Crimespace and met you.

And John F.--yeah, don't worry about me keeping everyone posted. I'm feeling like a new daddy handing out bubblegum cigars to all my buddies right now.

[John McFetridge]

Congratulations, B.R., and good luck with it. Keep us posted, let us know when we can buy a copy.

B.R.--you wrote a pirate detective novel? Dude. You're my hero.
