Reviews

  I read Productivity for Writers after listening to a podcast recently. I have been writing for some years now so much of the information in the book I’ve heard/read before, here and there, however it never hurts to both, have this book as a reminder, and to have all the information in one place. […]

  The Faces that you Meet is the story of Rachel, a young woman hanging on to her twenties by her fingernails and not enjoying the dating scene much. She meets Simon and they have a brief relationship but after a few warning signs, then an alarming incident, she finishes with him. However, he’s not […]

  I chose to read One For The Money as a proud member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team and I received a copy from the author. This does not alter my review in anyway. Cat Caliban is looking for a change after her husband dies. She is a mother to three and a granny, […]

  I’ve been following Mark Dawson for quite some time (no, not in that way…) by listening to The Self Publishing Show podcast he does with James Blatch, signing up for the Ads for Authors course (which I’m still trying to complete) and being on his newsletter. When I signed up to that I received […]

By my bed I have a pile of paperbacks which are the books I need to get to before those on my straining bookshelf, and this was one of them. I actually have a limited edition book proof that I picked up from a local bookshop a while back. The eventual cover is considerably jauntier […]

  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 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 think most of us can agree that the last six months have not been the easiest. Some might even suggest that is an understatement but this book of poetry has been written over the same six months and is remarkably upbeat and perky in tone. I found it a wonderfully refreshing read, even […]

  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 […]

  I wouldn’t usually choose fantasy to read, but, luckily for me, I didn’t know this was fantasy when I bought the book, which just goes to show you should always tread outside your comfort zone. I did know it was adventure though, and I do like an adventure. I have to say I was […]
