Audio books are the biggest growing sector in the book world I keep hearing but having produced my own I’ve found the market to be somewhat sluggish, at least so far. However, copies do keep being listened to so I assume traction has to grow like everywhere else. I distributed my audio book via Findaway […]

I have had Flowers for the Dead waiting for me on my kindle for the longest time (it even has a different cover on there!) but I’ve booked my ticket to go and see Barbara Copperthwaite at The Deepings Literary Festival and, wanting to read it before that event, I bumped it up the to-be-read […]

I chose to read More Glimpses as a member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team and received a copy of the book from the author. This does not alter my review in any way. More Glimpses is Hugh W Robert’s second collection of short stories and what a varied assortment they are. Some are long, […]

I’ve decided I was put off poetry at school because, after giving it a wide berth for many years, I now occasionally indulge and find I enjoy it after all. Either that or I’m finally maturing… One Hundred and Seven Poems About Everything and Nothing by Emily Halfpenny has been one such indulgence. This is […]

The Collector is probably the best book from Nora Roberts that I have read to date. Life can change in a heartbeat, that’s the tag line, and it certainly does for Lila Emerson. Lila is pretty much perfect. I love the sound of her life. She house-sits, looking after fabulously glamorous homes with perfect pets […]

I chose to read A Plague of Pages by John F Leonard as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team and received a copy from the author. This does not alter my review in any way. If anyone follows my reviews they will have noticed I am something of a fan of Leonard’s work by […]

I read this book because Peter Murphy came to speak to the writers’ group I attend and he recommended it as he intended on using this book to show how he researched his novels. He was an excellent speaker and the content of his presentation was very interesting. And Is There Honey Still For Tea? […]

I’ve joined a Book Group, have I told you that already? I have absolutely no recollection of what I’ve said where anymore so apologies if that is old news. Anyway, I have and I will be sharing most of those reads with you here. I say most as I got off to a rather inauspicious […]

I chose to read The Cleansing, a short story by Anton Eine, as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team. I received a copy from the author but this does not alter my review in anyway. An outsiders view of our world makes for interesting reading, and this is what this story is all about. […]

I have been meaning to get back to the second book in this series, Power Play, for an incredibly long time. Still, better late than never, eh! As I said in my review for the first book, Party Games, I’m not a fan of politics but written well before Brexit (and all the horrors that […]
