He was not known for his romantic inclinations. I've always had a hatred for four plot conventions: pirates, time travelers, ghosts and billionaires. If the book contains any of those combinations, I avoid 'em like the plague. That said, I have been meaning to get around to writing a parody romance about a time-travelling ghost pirate who is searching for his millions buried with him when he was betrayed by his crew. I'm just searching for a good title before getting started. I wonder if 'Booty Beyond the Grave' has been taken?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
