Today I'm the next stop on the tour for Anya Silverthorne's debut novel The Baroness of New York. She has kindly provided a guest post in which she explains why one of the minor characters in the novel was created. I always enjoy this type of revelation and hope you enjoy reading about the "birth" of Sophie as much as I did.

The first Saturday of the month is time to play Six Degrees of Separation. This meme is hosted by Kate of Books Are My Favourite and Best. The aim is to link six books to each other from the starting point.
This month we're starting with Cormac McCarthy's The Road. It is a book I haven't read as I'm not a great fan of post apocalyptic novels. I'm quite happy to read about death and destruction in historical wars, but an apocalyptic war and its aftermath is not for me.

Today, I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for another Throwback Thursday.
Earlier this week I had the pleasure of being the first stop on a Blog Tour for Man of War, the fourth book of T.J. London's American Revolutionary War series, The Rebels and Red Coats Saga.
With this fresh in my mind, it was easy to select which old review to promote today. For this post I'm going back to 2014 when I reviewed Bernard Cornwell's Revolutionary War novel, The Fort.

Today, I have the pleasure of being the first stop on the blog tour for T.J. London's recently released novel, Man of War. The author has kindly provided a guest post in which she shares her research into the two main settings of the novel: a Royal Navy warship and the city of New York. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to read Man of War for the blog tour, but after reading about the research that went into it, especially of life on board a Royal Navy man of war, I'm more excited than ever to pick up this book. I hope you enjoy reading the guest post as much as I did.
