Sorry for the lack of updates lately. My web service provider has changed the details which I log in with. Sadly the program I write the website with (Rapidweaver) does not seem to like the changes and will not publish any changes. So a very long winded method is now being used to get updates up.

Hi! I was wondering if mabey you could host a short story or poetry contest? That would be soooooooo much fun! and as the prize, you could, like, post the poem and E-mail the person a lil digi-trophy! pleez? thanks, Middshipman Apple
I am happy to post short stories and poems, but the crew would have to pick the winner not me, (panic), I can draw things out of a tankard but pick a winner. Please could I have volunteers from the crew.

ummm...hi...again. i was just wondering how to join the crew??? i would like to join but dont know how. thanks! bye:}

That one is easy to answer, midshipman apple, on your last email you gave me a name I could call you by. So you have joined our crew, now I just need to get my unhappy computer to allow me to re-load a graphics program and you will have a picture too. Now if you wish to add any tall tale about the sea, you can or tell us all how you feel about the Vampirates series of books.

Apologies for the silence for the last month, but I have had computer problems. Hopefully this update will work and the website will be back up. Any errors you have seen please email me via the Squeak page.

"Headstrong" - Use either of the Bands that i know naming one of their songs this, so its either "Breaking Benjamin", who puts more of a "Back off, I'll take you on" theme, and Ashley Tisdales song, More refering to the love relationships in the story, mainly Grace and Lorcan Lyric related to them:

"I'm a Straight Up kinda girl
i am, I'm a tellin' it like it is i am,
and thats the kinda girl i am, head up, hands up!
You're a honey kind of boy you are
You're a talented kind of boy you are
And that's just the kind of boy you are
Head up, hands up, these are

Chorus:
Headstrong, crazy days
When your mind's made up and the music plays
Headstrong, can you feel the beat
Melt down, can you feel the heat
Melt down, it's not a crush
In a hot hot room we're in a rush
Headstrong, can you feel the beat
Melt down, can you feel the heat!"
("It's not a crush" Mostly refferes to Lorcan and Grace not telling each other how they feel)
