(It's not clear that any sex occurs in it at all, though there is a disturbing suggestion that the oldest child on the ship, a 13-year-old girl, is shared by the 2 male pirates who show no sexual interest in each other.) <br />I'm only concerned about copyright issues, but I really haven't copied anything in the original novel, just used it as a jumping-off point.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-9836598732442255882011-10-14T22:10:12.866-04:002011-10-14T22:10:12.866-04:00Hi Jean!

I wouldn;t worry about the Richard Huges novel, I can't imagine there were many novels of lesbian lovers in 1939. Or maybe I'm being naive.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-77601422712887781502011-10-14T13:21:45.208-04:002011-10-14T13:21:45.208-04:00Thank you, Lisabet.
I thought someone might ask!
T...Thank you, Lisabet.<br />I thought someone might ask!<br />The original pirate novel is A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes. I've referred to it so sketchily in my sequel that I hope I won't run into copyright issues if/when it gets published.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-56552473303921718822011-10-13T22:44:52.878-04:002011-10-13T22:44:52.878-04:00I love it, Jean!!
