Other Books and Authors
I often find authors and books to be added to the site and whilst I try and include books in latest releases I do not always spot them in time. This section includes books and authors that have recently been found and may be of interest.
Clipper Ships and the Golden Age of Sail

{joomlacontent:3960|type:title|link}by Sam Jefferson. "First-hand accounts, newspaper reports and log entries add fascinating eyewitness detail, whilst the stunning images show how the designs of these thoroughbreds developed over the years."

The Glorious First of June

{joomlacontent:3966|type:title|link} is writing the Neville Burton: Worlds Apart series

Other News
The Far off Ships

{joomlacontent:3971|type:title|link}. Some of my favaourite HNF novels were published many years ago and have been out of print for some time. They are therefore usually hard to come by and expensive when you do find a copy. I am pleased to note therefore that Thunderchild Publishing has brought two of my favourite authors back in to print with eBook versions, making them accessible to fans of the genre once again.
