To say I’m pleased with this one would be an understatement. Particularly as I know how hard the artist worked to get something that was in-period, when I kept sending the mockups back. “It’s lovely, but they didn’t wear plate armour in those days.” “I love it, but I’m sorry, we can’t have a castle…
Is lucky number 13. Who is… let me go and trawl through the comments to find out… It is Carolyn, who was sensible enough to leave me her email address, so I will also email off list to tell her she’s won 🙂 Congratulations Carolyn!
Here I am, baring my soul on the Saucy Wenches’ Book Club Neither saucy nor wench are words I would normally apply to myself, but I greatly admire Nanny Ogg, who I’m sure was the sauciest of wenches when she was younger, so I was honoured to be allowed to tag along for the day….

And today I am on the Cup o’Porn blog here http://cupoporn.net/2013/08/12/mix-it-up-monday-with-alex-beecroft/ talking about The Crimson Outlaw – where I got the idea, why it sounds more like a fairy tale than a historical – but also talking about…

I’ve been trying not to look at what people on Goodreads were saying about it, but so far the reaction…
So, the Riptide website says The Crimson Outlaw is on pre-sale, whatever that means. But in practice if you buy it now you will be able to download it immediately, plus you’ll get 20% off. Offer only valid until midnight tonight (Sunday.) So if you do want it, and you’d like 20% off, this might…
So, my son has now got his change-of-name documents back from the deed poll people. Which was very easy and efficient and provides you with a document with some glorious language on it, in caps, no less. Listen to this: “I ABSOLUTELY renounce and abandon the use of my former name… I AUTHORISE AND REQUIRE…
Today I’m handing over to Julian Griffith, my fellow age of sail fan, so that she can talk about her new novel Love Continuance and Increasing, which I have just downloaded onto my ereader because it sounds fabulous. And isn’t that cover amazing? We have a giveaway to give away 🙂 If you comment on…
