Ahoy, Mateys. Buckle up yer bootstraps for a mighty big announcement from yours truly.

Today be Talk like a Pirate Day. I always be happy on Talk like a Pirate Day, and me daughter always rolls her eyes. Yar-har.

But that’s beside the point.

Today, I think it’s a perfectly fitting day to announce the topic of my nanowrimo project this November.

Adventure on the Epi: In Search of Liquid Gold

(This is a working title and is extremely likely to change)

Synopsis:

Join Captain BlackBerry and his crew of outcasts, drawn together by their food allergies and intolerances, as they travel the seven seas in search of liquid gold: a fabled food with no known allergic reactions. Along their journey, they’ll incounter the perils of unknown foods, cross-contamination, and well-intentioned villains who simply don’t believe food allergies exist. Will they survive, or will a peanut bring down the Epi?

Keep a weather eye out, Mateys – my newest novel adventure will be setting sail November first, traveling at a brisk speed of 1667 words each day – that is, if all goes according to plan. But we all know that’s rarely the case with pirates…
