    Goodness… where to start with my review of Penny Pinching Tips for the Morally Bankrupt. This is probably the most diverse book of short stories I’ve come across, and with such a range of eclectic stories, among the 43 in this volume, there’s bound to be something in there for everyone. There are […]

  Please Don’t Ask for Extra Glasses is the second book in a series and I reviewed the first book, Do Not Wash Hands in Plates, HERE. Following on from book 1 our three intrepid travellers have once more convened in India to spend a few weeks exploring (covering over 1500 miles) and consequently this […]

  Arthur and Jessie’s first day trip to the seaside is momentous for two reasons. Firstly, because Jessie realises her feelings have deepened to love towards Arthur, someone she’s only ever considered a friend before. Secondly, because as they return home the announcement is made that Britain is at war. It is 1914 and Jessie […]

    I chose to read this short book as a member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team and I was sent a copy by the author. This does not alter my review in any way. I should say at the beginning that I read the kindle version of this book but it features eleven […]

The wonderful Rosie Amber wrote a super post on this last week, which you can find HERE, and I thought I would do something similar. So, what has been getting me through this latest lockdown through the longest winter there has ever been. Obviously, these are in no particular order… Oliver! Thursday is now the […]

  I was reminded recently of a gathering I attended in Leicester where I met Lizzie Lamb and she gave me a paperback copy of her novel, Scotch on the Rocks. I was shocked to discover that was four years ago and yet this book was still waiting to be read. I have now put […]

I think writing wisdom states that you should write every day. I see and hear this advice given everywhere. It makes sense. It builds and keeps you in the writing habit and, particularly if you have a large project on, such as a novel, it keeps you chipping away at the word count. I have […]

I listened to episode 175 of the Stark Reflections on Writing and Publishing podcast the other day. Mark Lefebvre’s guest was Philippa A Werner and they discussed her writing and ScribeCount, a sales analysis platform for authors. Whilst listening I signed up to this platform which was straightforward then seamlessly set up my account which […]

  I chose to read Birds Don’t Cry as a proud member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team and I received a copy of the book from the author. I have read one of Sandy Day’s novels before and jumped at the chance to do so again. They are quite leisurely paced but the settings […]
