Ahoy! Pay attention ye scurvy scum!
There be treasure in them there hills!
As I have been discussing potential cuties for gracing the cover of romance novels, romance novel covers have been on my mind. No surprise there. Grin.
The other night I was talking with my pirate friend here on skype and superstitiously snapped his photo while mid chat. Twenty minutes play time in photoshop and I created this - my very own pirate cover, billowy white shirt and all. The quality of my image is based on the quality of the other person's webcam. Your entry does not need to be super sharp, it can be blurry too. 72 dpi is more than enough.
Argh, and now it be yer turn. I want to see yer pirates!
Prize:
$10 gift card to Amazon to buy yourself some pirate loving of your choice. Buy used and get more than one pirate lover. (Ye kno' terms like prepare t' be boarded lass and full ramming speed get you all ho' and bothered under th' covers. We pirates are like that.)
Rules of Entry:
1. The guy in your photo must be someone you know. Ye can't be about submitting a celebrity, aye, I no' want to be seeing any of them Jack Sparrows!
2. You must do your own photo editing as that be the pirate code.
3. He must wear a white shirt. Got to have that white shirt, the more billowy the better.
4. The image should be: 468 pixels wide by 420 pixels tall.
5. Must include a name for your novel, like mine was entitled the Pensive Pirate. We're a superstitious lot, pirates, and a ship without a name be a bad omen.
6. Optional: Discuss your pirate plot and novel or reasoning behind photo. We pirates like to boast and nothing beats a grand tale.
7. Submit to the fine lass, Keira at reviewromancenovel@yahoo.com

Can you think of a better way to be grateful in November then to win some pirate booty and view a plethora of guys in white shirts?

And now it is time to walk the plank ye landlubbers and get to hopping!
