The world of publishing is a competitive one and this book tells the story of three, very different, writers and what they are willing, or sometimes forced, to go through to get that elusive best seller. What I always enjoy about Tyler’s writing are her spot on characterisations, and this book is packed with gems. […]
I really dislike exclusivity and have tried hard not to be but it just hasn’t worked. I said around Christmas time that I was taking the latest of my books, Thicker than Water, out of KDP Select so I could put it, along with my others, on other sites. I’ve had them on Kobo, Nook […]
In Luke’s #1 Rule Chloe is a single mum looking to make a new start with her two sons in Seattle where she has a high-flying job with a salary to match waiting for her. She negotiates being able to take her sons away from her ex, Spence, by paying him off, gifting him the […]
A Second Rainbow was a terrifically fun read. I really like this authors writing style having read some of her other work and from following her blog where she has been tirelessly researching the dating scene for those of more mature years. This is a writer who has walked the walk and that comes across […]
I don’t generally read YA books but having enjoyed another book by Carol Hedges I chose The Final Virus and was delighted I did. This is the start of a series but can be read as a standalone and for me its greatest strength is in the superb characters the author creates. You know exactly who everyone […]
I have already read and reviewed The Paradise Trees here and The Cold, Cold Sea here and have been looking forward to my next read from Linda Huber, The Attic Room. The Attic Room is mostly told from the point of view of Nina who is struggling with having just lost her mother, Claire, and […]
Okay so this is completely off my usual topic but I felt the need to share this recent experience as a warning and to prevent anyone else going through what I’ve just had to deal with. I kind of like Windows 10, certainly it’s a step up from Windows 8 though I’ll always be a XP girl […]
The Cold, Cold Sea is a book I read ages ago then put the review everywhere, apart from on my blog, so with a bit of retro-fitting here it is. To say that I enjoyed reading this book is strange considering it is the story of a missing child which is every parent’s worst nightmare. I think what […]
Some of my most creative thoughts happen when on a dog walk, as do my best conversations with my dog-walking buddy. So I thought I’d invite some of my author friends along to join me and my girls and see if I can find out a little more about them and the book they’ve just […]
I can’t reblog onto my blog so this is the next best thing. Rosie Amber has been writing Wednesday Wing, a terrific series of short advice posts and todays is all about writing a book review. Many readers will say they don’t know how to go about putting one together so in Rosie’s post she has made […]
