Talk like a pirate, vote like a pirate, read like a pirate

Arr, it be International Talk like a Pirate Day and at least in Germany, pirates have gone respectable and even entered the Berlin city parliament, as I blogged yesterday.

As for our political pirates, Der Spiegel, National Public Radio and the Washington Post all offer profiles of the new party, though the Washington Post mistakenly assumes that the Pirate Party has entered the German parliament when it’s really just the Berlin state parliament. Arr, there be a difference.

Deutsche Welle also has an interview with Pirate Party chairman Sebastian Nerz.

From political pirates to fictional ones: I’ve long had a soft spot for fictional pirates, which was likely caused by growing up with the legend of Klaus Störtebeker and watching way too many vintage swashbuckler films on TV. And of course, I’ve also written pirate stories as well as an (still incomplete) novel about science fictional pirates.

Two of my pirate stories are available again in e-book form, the fantasy pirates of Rites of Passage and the Errol Flynn inspired 16th century pirates of Hostage to Passion. Both are short reads, perfectly suited to bring a bit of pirate flavour to International Talk like a Pirate Day.
