Guesting on Jo Myles blog today

After what seems an extended period of radio silence, I’m visible again!  I had the good fortune to be invited to guest blog on Josephine Myles’ blog.  Jo, whose gorgeous narrowboat story “Barging In” (why can’t I do good titles like that?) came out recently and is already hauling in those 5 star reviews, has let me take over her blog for the day and interviewed me to boot.

I was mostly meant to be talking about my new release, “By Honor Betrayed” which is not quite out yet, but will be in about a fortnight.  But being me, and incapable of keeping to the point, I’ve ended up waffling on about everything.  This is entirely her fault!  If she hadn’t asked such genuinely interesting questions I could have kept to the script, and delivered a smoothly professional promo post.  As it is, you get my untidy real opinions and no hard sell at all.

I fail at promo.  But Jo wins at interviews   Also at making me blush with lovely introductions:

Just quickly updating this with a link to my actual blog post (+ excerpt).

In which I explain how I got round my dislike of pirates enough to write about them.

First review of By Honor Betrayed

Wow! A first review of “By Honor Betrayed” and it’s not even out yet!  I appear to have cranked the sense of danger up a bit too high for this reviewer, but it’s ok because she enjoyed it enough to come back for more anyway

This was my first Alex Beecroft read and I’m sure it won’t be my last.  Guess I’ll just have to make an appointment with my primary doctor to insure my poor heart can stand anymore stories like this.  It was fast-paced, well plotted, and historically accurate and is highly recommended.

Thanks a lot to Portia at MM Good book reviews!

Mega thanks too to Jo for doing me proud with a fantastic spread of posts on her blog.  I thought I’d just link to the next two for easy access

Interview, in which I answer some very interesting questions

Jo’s reviews of the books of mine she’s read.
