Luke would have you know that should you ever want to drop in on him in his luxurious London home (has he mentioned he is far more succesful than brother Matthew?) he will even break into his precious supply of tea.

Rue has a good head on his shoulders and I hope Jesamiah appreciates it!<br /><br />I reminded Lurio about his interview on the 8th. He looked up from his screen for a moment and asked me to send his thanks. He was busy directing a raid in the Septarium, the dodgy area of Roma Nova city. I'll say thank you on behalf of both of us for all the hard work you've put in to make this blog hop a success.Alison Mortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638794898163576730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132364668526714411.post-71715995635273544412016-12-17T15:05:21.276+00:002016-12-17T15:05:21.276+00:00I do hope Jesamiah realizes (if not necessarily ad...I do hope Jesamiah realizes (if not necessarily admits) that having someone like Claude de Rue guarding his back was a lifesaver on more than one occasion. He, Jesamiah (bless him), can be a bit of a hothead, as we all know.<br /><br />Now, as to Mistress Helen, thank you so much for bringing together "secondary" pirates, damsels in distress, and others (good and/or bad) who now will surely gain added attention from our readers. While these characters are not the main protagonists, our stories would have been a lot less lively without them and (I admit) we authors were quite taken with some of them.<br /><br />So, again, a big Thank You for a fun and most interesting Blog Hop - and all the preparatory work that went into it.Inge H.

Unless you plan on a .... well we both know Jesamiah is too smart to fall for any of that. <br /><br />Alas, sadness! This fun adventure ends. Do hope you take the humble wish of a reader and consider my February blog request. Hope to share some of the author's work presented the last few weeks on my own blog soon in the form of a book review. Shall be snuggled up in front of the fire this winter reading.
