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 […]

I chose to read Call Drops, a short story, by John F Leonard as part of Rosie’s Book Review Team and received a copy direct from the author. This does not alter my review in any way. Call Drops is the story of Vincent Preece, a self-made man, who now in retirement has everything he […]

This psychological thriller tells the story from the points of view of close friends Karen, Bea, Eleanor and one other unnamed character. Karen is a psychiatrist and sees her role as a friend who fixes problems. A new […]

I Am Death by Chris Carter is a book I borrowed from the mobile library. I’ll be honest and say that when I started reading I nearly stopped because of a writerly tick that I won’t bore you with as it’s personal and I wouldn’t want it to put anyone else off. However, I didn’t […]

The Indie Author Mindset: How changing your way of thinking can transform your writing career. I read this book recently as I felt my writing career, and I, needed a kick up the backside. Who better to turn to for advice than the hugely successful writer, Adam Croft. It wasn’t always that way though and […]
