Thorne Moore has been on my radar as an author I must read for a long time now. In fact, as it turns out, I bought her book A Time for Silence back in 2014, but still haven’t got to it. And what a mistake that was. I chose to read The Covenant, the […]
I’m not sure where the week goes but it certainly seems to race round when it come to me trying to write my blog post for each Monday. I had no idea what I was going to write this week but then thought I’d mention the challenge I’m setting myself through November, again. Yes, it’s […]
I chose to read this book as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team and the author sent me a copy. This does not affect my review in any way. Alfie Cooper is in his mid-eighties and lives unhappily in the Pinewood care home, but with no family to look after him he has […]
I was talking to a new book client the other day and asked them who their book was for. Everyone, they said. I had to physically stop myself from rolling my eyes. But remember thinking this exact same thing. It is true that if you took a thousand random people and forced them to read […]

I visited a new place this weekend, Johnsons of Old Hurst, and, considering it was so close, I couldn’t believe I hadn’t been there before. It was fabulous. It was a working farm with several major differences. It had a farm walk that went off into a woodland walk with scattered models of animals […]
I made a mistake when I downloaded Verity, which I won’t go into, but what a terrific mistake to make! I loved reading this book. It was a real page-turner, one which I wanted to go to bed early for so I could carry on reading. Lowen is a struggling writer who is asked […]
Independent authors talk about their books being exclusive or wide. But what does it mean? Well, exclusive means that you have published your digital books exclusively with Amazon (your paperbacks can continue to be distributed wherever you like). For doing this you get to tick the box which lets you into the KDP Select programme […]
Based on a true story with an imaginative retelling for young readers; P22 mountain lion is born in the beautiful Santa Monica Mountains outside Los Angeles, California. But he is forced out of the mountains by Prime, a fierce older male lion who wants him dead. He heads east to stake out a new […]
