Annette Gisby
Biography
Annette Gisby grew up in a small town in Northern Ireland moving to London when she was seventeen. Being a very small town there were no bookshops and a small library. When she’d devoured every book she could get her hands on in the library, she started writing her own stories so she would always have something to read later.
When not writing she enjoys reading, cinema, theatre, walks along deserted beaches or wandering around ruined castles (great places for inspiration!)
She still lives in London with her husband, a collection of porcelain dolls and stuffed penguins and enough books to fill a small library. It’s diminishing gradually since the discovery of ebooks but still has a way to go.

Render
on March 03, 2010
That was a wonderful short story. Despite being short, the characters were well drawn and you stepped into their world for a while. I'm not sure I would have classed this as erotica though, they don't do much besides kiss ;)

Dangerous Moonlight

Wonderful male/male romance in a historical setting. I loved this one, Mel Keegan has a knack for writing great characters and fantasic world-building. Adventure, romance, intrigue, this one had it all.

Pirates of the Poesasian
on Jan. 17, 2013
3.5 stars rounded up to four. This book was difficult for me to get into. While well-written with interesting characters and a sound plot, the style of writing did not appeal to me. The language was a bit too flowery, the prose a bit too purple for my taste. I much prefer simpler, plainer language. This book would have seemed quite at home in an English Literature class to be studied and dissected, but as something to read for enjoyment's sake, it fell flat for me. This is just a personal opinion, lots of people do enjoy that style of writing. There is adventure on the high seas, murder, magic and mayhem. The world building is good, from the squalor of seaside inns to life aboard ship amongst the pirates. Baus becomes more of a likeable character the further into the book we go, at first I wasn't too sure about him. Give it a go if you enjoy a good adventure tale with pirates and rogues galore.
