So I was at lunch yesterday and the most bizarre thing happened. I think I got checked out. Now I know to some of you that’s as common as breathing, but trust me, I’m no hottie as of late. But I was at an asian buffet, grabbing some soda, and I passed a table of guys speaking spanish. And I walked passed them, caught them staring, and then they said something to each other and I heard the word ‘bonita’. I speak a little spanish, so I think it means cute. Might they have been referring to mwa as cute? Don’t kill my vision here, it made my day!
Fun stuff!!! To celebrate the release of The Pirate’s Booty tomorrow I’ll be holding a Treasure Hunt! It will start on my website My Website and I’ll post the first clue on the main page. Follow the clues until you find the Ruby Brooch! Once you find it send an email to shellistevens@shellistevens.com, and tell me where you found the brooch. You’ll be entered in a drawing for a $10 gift certificate to Cobblestone Press! The first clue will be posted sometime in the morning (PST), and the drawing will be held at 3pm (PST). So I really hope you guys do it! It’s easy and fun.
So come on back tomorrow for an excerpt of The Pirate’s Booty, and the Friday releases!!!
To end my Pirate week, M.E. Ellis found this for me so I just HAD to add it to my blog. So…. What’s your pirate name? Can’t say I’m crazy about mine.

Hairy Legs? I wouldn’t be real thrilled with that name either…

My pirate name is Bloody Ivy the Infected. I think that’s pretty damn awesome. ;)
Congrats on getting checked out. I’m pretty sure if they say “bonita” that does mean they think you’re pretty. Workin’ it at the buffet - whoo hoo!
How fun a treasure hunt!
Bonita means pretty, yes.
Cutest kitten ever!
Wow! Somebody checked you out. How cool! Doesn’t surprise me, though.
I’ll be sure to be there for the treasure hunt. Anything for a free ebook. You know me.
I haven’t done much blog commenting either. I check out everyone’s blog, but I’ve been too tense to really leave a message.
You go Shelli babe!
I absolutely LOVE the kitten picture!!
Oh to be checked out. What a wonderful thing. You lucky girl.
Cute kitty! I love it. And, this is gross. My pirate name is “Arch-Pirate Firecrotch.”
I am Skull Crusher Left Eye Lisa. Arrr!
Do you know Arrr! reminds me of a Backyardigans episode I’ve seen about 20 times?
Aaargh!!!!
I’m Surgeon Jenny of the High Seas. Whatever the “f” that means.
Congrats on the release tomorrow. Can’t wait to read it.
Wake up Shelli and post the clue. lol I only have an hour before I leave for work and I won’t make it back home before the ending time.
My pirate name is Pegleg Janie Jalibird. No bad, I can live with that!
Oh, that’s not bad. Maybe I need to wake up.
I’m: Arch-Pirate One Eye
ugh. Now, thanks to Bebe, I have the theme for Backyardigans stuck in my head.
I’m Cannibal Sweet Waters!
HAHA!
:o)
I was out for my walk the other day and this carload of guys in about their late teens/early 20s started hooting and hollering as they drove by. At first I thought ‘idiots’ and then I laughed and thought, hey at least I’m hootable! I’m also Mad Bessie Backstabber. Grreeaaatttt…
Pirate’s Booty
My pirate name is Mad Princess of the Reine.
:o)
It’s fun when you get checked out. Even though I’m happily married it boosts my ego and bit if someone looks. I just cant stand it when they talk to you or bug you. Than I get annoyed.
That shouldn’t surprise you, you have long blond hair and big boobs! Every man’s dream!
