I chose to read this book as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team. I received a copy from the author but that does not alter my review in anyway. This is a book of short stories. Some are very short indeed, some quite long. I enjoy short stories, so the variety in length […]
As Driven by Deceit is one week old tomorrow I thought I would share its first chapter with you. 1: A Stranger in Town Stiff muscles complain as I get out of the car, and I arch my back to ease them, rolling my shoulders. The last leg of our journey home […]
I chose to read A Curse in Nuala as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team and received a copy from the author but this does not alter my review in anyway. There are few things more comforting than sinking into a new book from a series you love. You know it’s going to […]
I don’t know about you but I’m a fan of unpredictability when it comes to my entertainment. A well-done plot twist in a book. A sudden realisation when watching something on television. Wonderful. While I don’t believe I’ve achieved the heights of unpredictability I’d like to have done with this series so far. I do […]

The stories told with an unemotional detachment. There is much that […]
I chose to read Between the Lines as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team. I received a copy from the author, but that does not alter my review. American Sadie Reed is an editor and is sent from New York to Great Missenden, England, by her boss, Jess Harper, to help British author Corbyn […]
Ordinary Joe: Joseph Carter is a decent guy who makes a terrible decision. This story is an explanation as to why he was led down the wrong path, it is so easily done with the right temptation, and the severe consequences of his actions. With what he then endured, revenge was never far from his […]
I enjoyed the first anthology, The Wife, The Mistress, and the Guinea Pig and Other Stories, so much I immediately bought this one when it was published. I was not disappointed. Many of the pieces took me back to Arran which is such a wonderful place to be, if only in your mind. There […]
“Art is never finished, only abandoned,” is a quote attributed to Leonardo DaVinci.
