I wanted to share something with you that I have just tried and found very useful. Brain.fm is what it is called and it’s music that you play through headphones to help you focus, relax or sleep. I used it for the first time to help me focus on the writing retreat I recently went […]
I just wanted to let you know the Children in Read 2021 Auction is now live. Hundred’s of books, paperbacks and hardbacks, have been donated and are available for you to bid on. The authors and illustrators are the ones who post them out and I believe all will be signed. If you would […]
I receive requests to review books periodically and usually my standard answer is that I don’t accept books to review (because I don’t) I simply review the books that I read (which I do). However, on this occasion I made an exception, because the blurb made me laugh, and if that does, well you’ve […]
The final episode of this series is indeed full of secrets and Vaughan takes her time in revealing each and every one. The isle of Innishmahon is again at the mercy of the whims of nature and the several of the characters find themselves in the throes of romance. I like the fact Vaughan […]
In the second part of this series we really get embedded with the inhabitants of Innishmahon and I love the characters Vaughan builds. My favourite, Miss Macready.

As the leader of your organization, if you get run down or burned out, your business suffers, so consider self-care to be just as important as other aspects of operating your business. Even taking time to relax with an […]
Anyone who knows me knows that my favourite place, in fact the place I would run too, should I ever be expelled from the UK, you never know, it might just happen, would be Malta. Well, Gozo to be precise, but the Maltese islands as a whole. So, imagine my delight at seeing a book […]
