Thank you for reading ENEMY SHIP.

We have to leave Corrie now. Her adventure continues in the next book in the CORRIE’S WAR saga, CLEAR FOR ACTION! and there are other CORRIE stories to come after that.

But just before I leave you…

You may be wondering if Corrie is going to make it as an officer. It is not going to be easy. For a start: where will she find an officer’s uniform? Will Tom Potts provide a uniform as he has promised? Meanwhile the evil Sly is surely plotting to take advantage of Corrie. As you read more of my Corrie stories, I hope you will enjoy getting to know the crew of His Britannic Majesty’s frigate Swift, both the officers and the ordinary seamen. I’d love to hear from you if you care to write to me. Perhaps you yourself have crewed a sail training vessel or have visited HMS Victory in her dry dock at Portsmouth? CORRIE fans come from all walks of life. It is always a thrill for me to get e-mails from Corrie’s admirers. You can reach me at

It would be great to hear from you. I mean that.

Julie Wheelwright in her excellent historical study ‘Amazons and Military Maids’ has this to say about the women who served in disguise and went to war cheerfully: ‘If being a man meant excelling at the epitome of masculine activity – the art of warfare – then the process of imitation was a success. Women proved at every level that they were as competent, as skilled, as aggressive, as deadly and as courageous as their male counterparts. But once sexually active, their entire identity was placed in jeopardy…’

Wheelwright is quite right about the dangers of engaging in sexual activity. Corrie had better watch out for that evil Master-at-Arms, Mr. Sly. He knows perfectly well that she is a woman, for he was part of the press gang that captured Corrie and dragged her aboard.
