It's a different kind of Monday because this is probably the first time I've featured a novel which has been written by co-authors.
Crooked Cat Publishing has recently launched a historical novel - Five Guns Blazing - written by Emma Rose Millar and Kevin Allen (September 2015)
The cover is an intriguing one, maybe even beguiling - and it's on my TBR list!
"Never had she imagined she would be brought so low, and all for the love of a very bad man."
1710
Convict’s daughter, Laetitia Beedham, is set on an epic journey from the back streets of London, through transportation to Barbados and gruelling plantation life, into the clutches of notorious pirates John ‘Calico Jack’ Rackham, Mary Read and the treacherous Anne Bonny.
In a world of villainy and deceit, where black men are kept in chains and a woman will sell her daughter for a few gold coins, Laetitia can find no one in whom to place her trust.
As the King’s men close in on the pirates and the noose begins to tighten around their necks, who will win her loyalty and her heart?
She was born in Birmingham - a child of the seventies. She is a single mum and lives with her young son who keeps her very busy and very happy. Emma left school at 16 and later studied for an Open University degree in Humanities with English Literature. She has done a variety of jobs including chocolatier, lab technician and editorial assistant for a magazine but now works part-time an interpreter.
Emma writes and edits historical fiction and children's picture books. Her first novel was shortlisted for the Chaucer Award in 2013. She is now working on her third novel The Women Friends which is based the painting of the same name by Gustav Klimt. Emma is an avid fan of live music and live comedy and enjoys skating, swimming and yoga.
