lonemagpie: if only (by me)
The marketing chimps have decided that the book I'm finishing off for Osprey right now will be called...



"Fortune And Glory," kid, "Fortune And Glory."

(and not X Marks The Spot)

Music Monday - writing about a certain historical theft is making me hear this in my head...

In the course of valuable research for this nonfiction book, I have been practising with the bullwhip - (what do you mean you’re not surprised I have a bullwhip?) - to determine what Indiana Jones could and couldn’t realistically do with it.

You’d be surprised which bits are Myth confirmed, and which are Myth busted (without the magic of editing, anyway).

Obviously this required a volunteer to hold a weapon to be disarmed, to be pulled by it, but luckily my wife is happy to suffer for my art…

Working Wednesday - Ah, the joys of writing a single nonfiction book that involves Aztecs, gangsters, Nazis, pirates, cowboys, knights Templar, samurai, cavemen...

And is due to be delivered next Friday, argh!

So, today I'm writing a nonfiction chapter about pirate treasure, focusing on Captain Kidd, and this music is cool accompaniment. Actually the whole soundtracks for all four movies, TBH...

Damn, the Jack Daniels is finished. And, I swear, I'm going to be so much more careful about picking my next Dark Osprey project - that's two in a row needing number-crunching, and I don't wanna do that again after this one!
