Thursday's thirteen: Aussies

In my first book, Windswept Shores, which will be out in 6/3/2010, in a week, my hero Seth is an Aussie. So of course I have him speak with a lot of slang or what they call in Austrilia strine.

Here is thirteen Aussie slang words, in no particular order: (And yes this is a repost, but don't let that stop you from leaving a comment.)

1. G'day--good day, a greeting. Usually conbine with . . .
2. Mate--a buddy, or best friend, or someone you just met and don't know their name yet, and you greet them with "G'day, mate."
3. Your shout--if you value your life, you will buy the next round of drinks.
4. Brekky--the first meal of the day.
5. Tea--the last meal of the day.
6. Bloke--a man who you don't know.
7. Shelia--a woman, but its old and not use a lot anymore except by . . .
8. Oldies--your parents, or old folks. Used by those under seventeen for anyone over the age of twenty.
9. Chook--chicken, yes the kind that clucks.
10. College--a private school, usually High School not collage in states or . . .
11. Uni--University, or what we call collage in the states.
12. Tucker--food, that stuff you tuck into your belly or tucker sack.
13. Owsyerottenbleedinluckeh--Thought to be the longest word in the Austrialian language, it translates as things are not turning out as planed.

Repost, Book trailer for Windswept Shores

I found I could change the video size and color for YouTube, so here it is again, Windswept Shores the book trailer.

Book trailer for Windswept Shores

My birthday is tomorrow, May 16th, and I made myself a little present--a book trailer for my book.
Watch it and tell me what you think, it's only a minute long so it won't bog down your internet server.
(If this doesn't work click on the link in the title.)


Here's another one from YouTube. One of these got to work.

Thursday's thirteen: Bahamas

Since my first book, Windswept Shores, is going to be out next month, I though I would share some research on my story setting.

Thirteen facts about the Bahamas:

1. The Bahamas lie just 60 miles off the coast of Florida.
2. The Bahamas is its own country; the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
3. The shallow sea is teal colored and at night an iridescent purple.
4. Not only does the Bahamas have the best sports fishing, but also tropical fish like what you see at the pet store. Its an excellent place to go scuba diving. 
5. The Bahamas is the only place you can get spiny lobster, a local delicacy.
6. Another local delicacy that you can't get any where else is made from conk, a shellfish, which they use to make conk chips and soups.
7. Their dolphins are spotted. The Dolphin Encounter Tours, available at most of the larger islands, will take you out to swim with the dolphins.
8. The Bahamas is home to pink flamingos.
9. They also have large iguanas that live on most of the islands.
10. There are over three hundred islands and cays, but only about eighty are inhabited.
11. The Bahamas are warm almost year round.
12. The get over 50 inches of rain a year on average.
13. The capital of the Bahamas, Nassau, was once a pirate republic, and local hang out for the notorious Pirates; Black beard, Charles Cane, Calico Jack Rackham, along with women pirates; Anne Bonny and Mary Read.
