My friend Annick Trent has a new historical m/m romance out: By Marsh and by Moor. It's about a pressed English sailor running from the press gang during the Napoleonic wars, and his companion on the run, who is running from something else entirely. Obviously I am not impartial here, but I've been enjoying beta reading this book even when I haven't been reading much other fiction.

New Annick Trent historical! *snaps it up*

Royal navy pressed hand, very nice, very nice...

Oh, this is a new series! Well, I shall just have to possess myself in patience for the next two books (she says, before she has even finished downloading the first one).

Yes, that seemed likely, given the summary. And not surprising: pressed hands did not have an overly lovely time of it in Nelson's Navy! Not so fertile a setting for romance...
