Well, I doubt there ever was a Turkish blockade of St Petersburg. However, there might be a British one. The Brits were quite active in the Baltic during the Crimean War, a part of that war that hasn't been written about too much. Right now only one…
It's raining again, so I have started to write my second novel. :)
I liked this comment I got from a reader in the US.
"If you liked Patrick O'Brian's naval war stories, but wished there was a little more sex sprinkled through them, Gunboat # 14 is the book for you."
Of course, I'd never compare myself to O'Brian…

- Gunboat Number 14
It's 1808 and Sweden is at war with Russia. The war is not going well. On land, the Swedish army is retreating continuously and all that stands between the Russians and the Swedish mainland are the gunboats of the inshore fleet. The sea war amongst the islands of the Finnish and Swedish archipelagos is a special kind of war, fought in open boats by badly equipped men without proper training. Fighting the weather as much as the Russians, Lieutenant Johan Kuhlin commands a small squadron of three gunboats on special duty. During the short and wet summer, he learns that an independent command isn't all glory and that spies can be more dangerous than Russian guns.

Of course, I'd never compare myself to O'Brian - but the idea of mixing romance and nautical fiction seems right. I might me able to live with that label. :)
