Still, if anyone has any suggestions for good m/m authors, I’d love to hear them.

Also agree on Ransom by Lee Rowan (another Age of Sail) and J. L. Langley's My Fair Captain, but my absolute personal favorites are anything by the Abigail Roux/Madeleine Urban team, especially Caught Running. BTW, I liked Captain's Surrender, too.

I forgot to mention that Alex was interviewed on my blog yesterday and she talks about Captain's Surrender and what's coming up, including a very big contract with Perseus Books in New York. Anyone wishing to read the interview can access it here

I'm so pleased that Alex is getting recognition for Captain's Surrender which was written sometime ago. I reviewed her book in June and here's part of what I said "In the masterful telling of this tale Alex Beecroft made me believe that I was actually on the Nimrod riding the waves with those unhappy midshipmen" and "Captain’s Surrender shattered any preconceived biases or notions I might have had about historical romances, particularly those involving men at sea, as I was absolutely captivated and transported to the Age of Sail." What I like about Alex is that she's so unassuming and seems to be totally unaware of what a fine writer she is. As to the sex, for those readers who want a little more, Alex has a free book called Insubordination available from allromanceebooks.com which continues the story of Peter and Josh by adding a little spice to their love life.

*g* Thanks Jayne. I hope you enjoy it. It certainly made me leap about in hopeless navy fangirl glee ;)

Alex, “Men of Honour” sounds terrific. I just read your review at Amazon and I doubt anyone could call it a “rah rah” “she must be the author’s wife” useless 5 star review. It’s now been added to my ‘books I wanna get’ notebook.

Mary, I can’t tell you the number of books I have piled up right now. Some are print copies and some are ecopies but they all weigh on my mind as books I need to at least try and soon, damn it! Unfortunately, real life always seems to get in the way and it takes me far longer read them than I like.

So authors if you’ve sent us books, please be patient. We’re trying.

Ruth, I’ve fished your comment out of our spam hold. Long comments that also have links tend to get picked up by it. Not that we mind people who post such comments but if one stubbornly doesn’t appear, that’s generally what’s happened. ;)

I’m prone to motion sickness so would probably be hanging over the rail of a tall ship too. Thanks for your suggestions and I’ll check out the reviews you have posted.

Authors who want to submit books to us can fill out the contact form or email us directly (our emails are listed on the Contact page which can be accessed on the menu under the “DEAR AUTHOR” banner at the top of each page.) We used to have a submissions section but with the technical difficulties, it’s been temporarily taken down.

I loved Swordspoint. I read it at the suggestion of Mrs. Giggles, I think.
