by Heidi Schulz | Sep 23, 2014 | For My Readers, Hook's Revenge
Dear Reader,
As we have come to day eight of my Hook’s Revenge blog tour, I felt it prudent to share with you another short excerpt of the book that has brought us together today. You may recall that I began this tale many years ago. It has changed much in the telling; very few segments have remained as they were when I conceived of them. There is one, however, that has stayed largely the same as the day I first penned typed it.
That portion—a letter sent from Captain Hook to his daughter, Jocelyn—is what I wish to share with you today. Do not delay, dear reader, but go directly to Kissed by Ink, and read the missive that charted Jocelyn’s journey.
Swashbucklingly,
P.S. You may also wish to read this Huffington Post Books interview wherein I discuss next year’s Hook’s Revenge: The Pirate Code, writing middle grade fiction, and Peter Dinklage.

Oh Monday, we meet again.
Today is a particularly Mondayish Monday, simply because Friday and Saturday were so awesome (and Sunday was so nap-filled). On Friday, I had the most swashbuckling Talk Like a Pirate Day Hook’s Revenge Launch Party at Powell’s Books. We played Pirate Jeopardy, I read, and there was cake! Lots and lots of cake!
On Saturday, my own library—the very one from my childhood reading adventures—threw me a party. I read some more and signed a lot of books. The kids walked the plank and made their own hook hands, and there was more cake!
If your Monday feels particularly Mondayish, how about some marauding music, to get you through the day?
Drop in on me at Allodoxophobia for a short Hook’s Revenge excerpt and the music that inspired me.

Hello friends! Today’s tour stop is a real treat (that you can make and eat yourself). Nubbins, the cook aboard Captain Jocelyn Hook’s pirate ship, has a way with food. He would never serve plain ship’s fare! Drop by Jenuine Cupcakes to get his recipe for hardtack (otherwise known as shortbread cookies with fresh lime curd)

This Friday is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but who wants to stop at talking? Let’s go full Long John Silver and get our costume on! (If you are coming to either of my launch parties, and are among the first 50 dressed like a pirate, you will get a free, signed poster!)
You may be thinking: But gosh, Heidi! It’s already Wednesday! Where am I going to get a pirate costume? The answer can be found in today’s blog tour stop. I’m over at Mundie Moms talking about creating a DIY pirate costume from things you probably already have in your closet!
Also today, don’t miss my interview with Angelica R. Jackson on the Fearless Fifteeners Blog. Drop in to hear more about my writing journey, including how I felt when Hook’s Revenge sold after a five house auction!
