Cole Parker Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I just had Trowchester Blues by Alex Beecroft recommended highly to me. Does anyone know this author? Or this book? C Link to comment
JamesSavik Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Sorry Cole- I got nothing. I did see some happy reviews for it. Not sure its good or his mother left them. Link to comment
Merkin Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Both the print and the ebook were released today (February 9, 2015) so there is no track record yet. The plot summary is interesting http://riptidepublishing.com/titles/trowchester-blues The author has four previous books, two in this 'Blue' series. I've not read any. Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Okay... Alex Beecroft is a friend of mine. Her age of sail novels are of the very highest standard, very highly recommended. She then switched to writing contemporary mysteries which I enjoyed just as much. She has also written two series of fantasy novels, which I read but didn't enjoy quite as much because that kind of fantasy isn't really my thing. Trowchester Blues is the first of a series of three contemporary novels set in a provincial small English town, another departure for Alex. If you pre-ordered it with Riptide you got your copy two days before the official release date, so I got mine three days ago and have now read it. It's very good, very very good. Alex's novels with my favourites asterisked: Age of sail By Honor Betrayed * His Heart's Obsession * Captain's Surrender * Blessed Isle * Contemporary Shining in the Sun * Viking Historical The Reluctant Berserker * Fantasy Bomber's Moon Dogfighters The Crimson Outlaw Too Many Fairy Princes Contemporary Trowchester Blues * Blue Eyed Stranger - due for release April Blue Steel Chain - due for release July Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I could have done that better by just linking to Alex's website: http://alexbeecroft.com Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 You know, with everyone we have here, I was sure and ADer would know something. Thanks, Bruin. I guess from what I've found she only publishes in paperback? C Link to comment
Bruin Fisher Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 No her books are all available as e-books too. Recent stuff at http://riptidepublishing.com, older books at various publishers such as http://www.samhainpublishing.com linked from her own website. I have False Colors in paperback, all her other books as e-books. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted February 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I get mostly hardcovers when I buy. I go to Barnes and Noble, a large American bookseller—I have no idea if they're in England, too—and I buy books they've overstocked and so have a reduced price, usually $5 or $6. I prefer them to paperbacks because usually the typeface is larger. And, at the price I buy them, they're cheaper than the $10 most recent paperbacks cost. I checked: no Beecroft books.

Bruin Fisher Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes I think you're right. I've never come across any M/M romance books in hardback, most of the small publishers who stock LGBT titles print only in softcover. If you read e-books, of course, you can set the font to whatever size you are most comfortable with! Link to comment
