Good afternoon, Daniel. Thanks for contacting me. Book 7 in the series will take Carlisle to the siege of Quebec in 1759. I plan to publish it in May this year. The working title is 'Rocks and Shoals.' if you send me your email address I'll add you to my mailing list to get notifications of progress. Regards Chris.

I found a reference to an obscure event in the Seven Years War where a commodore with a tiny squadron was ordered to intervene on the German coast. I had never heard of this operation before although now that I've searched I find that it is well-documented although only superficially. That was the central fact that gave me the idea for the story.

Just start writing and don't be put off by agent's and publisher's rejections. Independent publishing is a viable alternative and is in many ways better than the traditional route.

The opportunity to be creative and to study my passion, the eighteenth century navy. To be independent and to have lunch in my garden.
