Consider this your official reminder that September 19th is Talk Like a Pirate Day 🦜 which is coming up! Here's a handy list of quotes from the Second Age of Retha series Pieces of Eight Pirate Company so you can easily celebrate this day and confuse your friends and family!


  • Listen, you scurvy dogs! You've been taken captive by the dreaded Pieces of Eight Pirate Company!

  • No problem! if the water gets too tight we'll just float over it!

  • Why did you grab a saboteur-everyone knows they never have any coin of their own.

  • Will there be more cursing by the sheets of Excel?

  • You have the saltiest mouth I have ever heard. I didn't understand even half of what you said, but it's obvious you are very skilled in creating unusual obscenities.

  • Only a pirate could have such a foul mouth, and we'd never kidnap one of our own. It's in our pirate code!

  • You may be an elf, Kitten Lovemuch, but you've the salty blood of a pirate in your veins!

  • I can't even have a real parrot, because Jim Bob is allergic to 'em.

  • Sometimes my hammock flips me out when I sleep during my off-shift.

  • You can't bathe easily on the ship. And using salt water just makes us crusty and dappled like whales.

  • For the sea, for our friendship, for the love of being a pirate. And also, because we still have a loan out on the ship and haven't yet paid it off.



The Second Age of Retha series is a Gamelit/ LitRPG genre story I wrote under my A. M. Sohma pen name. A lot of the Champions have given these books a chance and loved them so even if video game stories aren't normally your thing you might want to give them a try!



I will warn you that this series is currently unfinished but the three books that are currently available cut off at a pretty good spot (it's not a crazy cliffhanger!).

Our holiday fun continues with another freebie today–this one for my longsuffering Retha fans!



I have a free short story for you Retha Champions! It’s called “Disgust to Respect” (Click here for the PDF) and it’s from Noir’s point-of-view! This was a fun one for me to write just because I’ve been the designated healer a lot, and Noir basically gives voice to the suffering of all of us support players, hahaha.


I hope you enjoy it!


We have one last gift to come (tomorrow!) but until then, Merry Christmas to all my Champions, and happy holidays!

May the Christmas and Holiday fun continue! This time I’m call out to all Champions of Retha–your time has come!

As I teased earlier, I have another Second Age of Retha drabbles for you, and it’s from the point-of-view of our favorite NPC siblings, Fame and Fortune!


This is probably one of my favorite drabbles/short stories ever, because it really dives into their characters. 😉 It might even shift the way you think of them just the tiniest bit.


With no further ado, here it is:


What did you think? Did you enjoy it?


Thanks for reading, Retha Champions, and have a very merry & bright December!
