I did try turning them off - but then I got inundated with garbage and had to use "approval" before posting, so comments did not go up immediately, leading to I was getting "did you see my comment?" In the end the captcha was the best and easiest solution. <br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment; I heard rumours that there might be a 5th Pirates of the Caribbean movie. I'm so sad to say "I hope not" :-(<br />As upsetting as it is to have to say this - movie #3 almost killed the "pirate" market, at least as far as publishing went. Had Disney stuck to the first movie Jack Sparrow would still be creating a buzz, but the silliness of the others poured cold water on the movies - and the subject, by the ocean load.<br />Oh well - my Jesamiah's adventures are making up for the dowsing I think!<br />Thank you for showing an interest in the books - I hope you enjoy voyaging aboard the Sea Witch!Helen Hollickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292983846350273039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132364668526714411.post-13891395727320954072012-04-01T06:29:48.756+00:002012-04-01T06:29:48.756+00:00Dear Helen - sorry, I've come to your article ...Dear Helen - sorry, I've come to your article rather late but I couldn't resist leaving a comment anyway - I do so agree with every word you've written. The first film was a 10 out of 10 - but number 2 was 2 out of ten (just for Bill Nighy)- and so on. Now I'm off to buy your books - how could I resist?

I would love...Thank you Kelly (grin from Jesamiah)<br /><br />I would love the Sea Witch Voyages to be a TV DRama Series, not a movie - there is more depth to a drama series, I think.<br /><br />As to who would play Jesamiah.... oh an unknown, handsome, sexy young actor who could make the part his very own - as Sean Bean did for Richard Sharpe!Helen Hollickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292983846350273039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6132364668526714411.post-88826176903665411132012-03-27T17:03:54.655+00:002012-03-27T17:03:54.655+00:00Helen,
I completely agree with you regarding the...Helen, <br /><br />I completely agree with you regarding the POC movies! Absolutely loved the first and loathed the rest. I've seen "On Stranger Tides" and it's absolutely horrid! Don't bother wasting your time watching it!<br /><br />As you know, I've read all your Sea Witch books and I have to say that "Bring It Close" is my favorite so far. I absolutely love the way you have inserted Jes into known historical facts - to me, that's the best kind of historical fiction (and it doesn't hurt that my copy was a gift from the author - thank you again m'dear!).<br /><br />Personally I can't wait for 'Ripple's' to be completed! As with many of your readers, I'm going through Jesamiah withdrawl.<br /><br />I'd really like to see your books put up on the screen, whether it be the cinema or television. I think they would make a much better and more believable story that Capt. Jack Sparrow.<br /><br />The question is: since J. Depp has already done Capt. Jack, who would you choose to play Jesamiah?Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12257655248466563239noreply@blogger.com
