HMS Privet has the reputation of being a cursed ship: every first lieutenant serving aboard her dies gruesomely. Lieutenant Daniel Leigh is determined to solve the mystery and volunteers for the place himself, putting his life in desperate danger. Little does he suspect that he will fall in love with the captain, John Meadows, and end up fighting not only for his own life, but for the soul of his lover, too.
Lieutenant Samuel Blackwood (deceased) – a Georgian ghost story featuring a cursed ship, a vengeful ghost, a haunted captain and a very daring lieutenant.

Contains male/male romance.
“I Do!” anthology is available for sale now, and it includes one of my stories.
Two people of legal age who are in love with each other have the right to get married if they wish to do so, period. As far as I’m concerned, any person and organisation who fights love in this world full of hate is a danger to the public.
That’s why I support this fantastic project, which gave those of us who can’t protest “on location” against hare-brained propositions like California’s No. 8 the chance to support those who take a stand. And you can be supportive, too, and get a book full of great stories in return. That’s what I call an excellent deal!
The following authors have donated stories to the “I DO!” anthology in support of Lambda Legal Fund, which will receive all profits from the anthology. Printing and distribution costs have been kindly donated by MLR Press.
Tracey Pennington, Alex Beecroft, Charlie Cochrane, Clare London, Storm Grant, Lisabet Sarai, Sharon Maria Bidwell, Jeanne Barrack, Marquesate, Z.A Maxfield, P.A Brown, Allison Wonderland, Erastes, Zoe Nichols and Cassidy Ryan, Emma Collingwood (hey! That’s me!), Mallory Path, Jerry L. Wheeler, Moondancer Drake, Fiona Glass, Lee Rowan.
The story I’ve contributed is called “Semi-detached”, and set in modern London, it features characters from my upcoming book “The Purser, the Surgeon, the Captain and his Lieutenant”. Is gay marriage a matter of equality, commitment or home improvement? Thomas comes to the conclusion that it’s all about knocking down walls.
“Semi-detached” features James, Thomas and Sebastian, the characters from “The Purser, the Surgeon, the Captain and his Lieutenant”. The story is set in modern London, and here’s a short excerpt:
“The working class has arrived,” Sebastian announced, “looking cranky as usual, but he bought beer. Good man.”
Upon noticing Thomas’ black eye and split lip, Sebastian arched an eyebrow.
“The proletariat’s been struggling. What happened, mate?”
“I Do!” offers something for everybody, from sweet to hot and funny to touching. Order the e-book now, or wait for the print edition which should be out by the end of January (the perfect Valentine’s Day gift!) – or hey, why not just buy BOTH?
For more information, including of one-line blurbs for the stories, please visit the “I Do!” page on my website, or check out this entry in Alex Beecroft ’s LJ. She got this whole thing moving.
Please feel free to link, forward, spread and herald to whoever and wherever you feel it makes sense. All profits go to Lambda, we’re not keeping anything for ourselves.
