Talk Like a Pirate Facebook Party September 19th

September 11, 2013 /

 

It was three years ago this month that I found out about International Talk Like a Pirate Day.  On September 19th the entire world is asked to “talk like a pirate” for the day!  This idea was started over 10 years ago by Mark “Cap’n Slappy” Summers and John “Chumbucket” Baur.  I had a chance to interview these two fun mates and you can read more about how the idea to “Talk Like a Pirate” came to them and why they chose September 19th as the day to talk like a pirate here on my author site.  As many of you know, my first storybook app and book, Penelope the Purple Pirate, features a girl pirate who loves to have adventures and uses her magical coat tree to transform her into far away lands so I am a big fan of anything to do with pirates!
