Astrodene's Historic Naval Fiction Log Book - Your regular update of what's new in nautical literature set in the Age of Sail

October 2013

It is a quiet month for news, however in the UK we can look forward to the release of Julian Stockwin's latest in the Kydd series, Caribbee.

Brief information is given below with links to the full website articles.

Featured Author

Each month I provide a short bio of one of the authors on the site. This month we will look at Jan Needle.

Jan NeedleJan Needle was born in Portsmouth on the south coast of England and moved to the north west when he was 20 to join the Daily Herald. At 25 he left full-time journalism and took a degree in drama at Manchester University, where he started writing plays for stage and radio, then short stories and later novels.

In later years he made a living with journalism, radio and television drama, stage plays, and novel-writing, at first for children and later for adults too. He has also written books and essays of dramatic criticism.

He wrote the 'Sea Officer William Bentley' series which will shortly be re=released for kindle and has just released a new short story ahead of a proposed series, The Devil's Luck.
