"I love the sense of optimism - the way the world is opening up and new discoveries are being made every day. But I also love the collision of ancient and modern, where you’ve still got personal relationships between patron and follower forming a big part of the way politics works, so it’s that much less cold and impersonal. I love the clothes - particularly stockings for men, and those gorgeous flaring coats. I love the combination of ferocity and refinement amongst the gentlemen, and the uninhibited noisy vulgarity of a society that seems to be really enjoying itself and feeling on top of the world."

Author Alex Beecroft, on what she loves about the 18th Century
Just a few days left to enter to win a copy of Alex’s book, False Colors.
Happy August! It’s time for our first giveaway - a paperback copy of False Colors, a gay Age of Sail romance by Alex Beecroft!
For his first command, John Cavendish is given the elderly bomb vessel HMS Meteor, and a crew as ugly as the ship. He’s determined to make a success of their first mission, and hopes the well-liked lieutenant Alfie Donwell can pull the crew together before he has to lead them into battle: stopping the slave trade off the coast of Algiers.
Alfie knows that with a single ship, however well manned, their mission is futile, and their superiors back in England are hoping to use their demise as an excuse for war with the Ottoman Empire. But the darker secret he keeps is his growing attraction for his commanding officer-a secret punishable by death.
With the arrival of his former captain-and lover-on the scene, Alfie is torn between the security of his past and the uncertain promise of a future with the straight-laced John.
Against a backdrop of war, intrigue, piracy and personal betrayal, the high seas will carry these men through dangerous waters from England to Africa, from the Arctic to the West Indies, in search of a safe harbor.
