Melinda Long had written books before but when she discovered that at the time there were very few children's books about pirates, she decided to write one.&amp;amp;nbsp; About the same time her book was to come out, Disney released Pirates of the Caribbean.&amp;amp;nbsp; Talk about being in the right place at the right time. In this episode: How Melinda got her book published The process of writing a children's book How her work took on a life of it's own via a sequel and a play Thank you so much for tuning in (or back into) the show, this is my first episode as host of this wonderful ship that Phil Johnson built.&amp;amp;nbsp; While he has provided so much support and training to have me take over the show, this first effort has all the marks of &amp;quot;what is this guy thinking?!?&amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp; But we have to start somewhere.&amp;amp;nbsp; The interview is lovely, Melinda couldn't have been a better first guest for me, I hope you tune in to listen to this and all upcoming episodes as I get better at this.
