About Me
Andrew Wheeler has toiled in book publishing for nearly 20 years. He spent 16 years as a bookclub editor (for the SFBC and others), and is now a Marketing Manager for John Wiley & Sons. He was a judge for the 2005 World Fantasy Awards and the 2008 Eisner Awards. He also read a book a day. He lives with The Wife and two mostly tame sons (Thing One, eleven; and Thing Two, eight) at an unspecified location in suburban New Jersey. He has been known to drive a minivan, and nearly all of his writings are best read in a tone of bemused sarcasm. Antick Musings’s manifesto is here. All opinions expressed here are entirely and purely those of Andrew Wheeler, and no one else.
If you were a pirate, how would you avoid laughing when saying "poop deck"?
Avoid? Pshaw. A good maniacal laugh is a pirate prerequsite. The trick is not to titter or giggle, but dive into it from the diaphragm.
