Book Review: The Stolen Sisters Having recently read and reviewed the Amelia Henley novel, The Life We Almost Had, I went into a bit of a lull with my reading. It wasn’t anything to do with the books, I just wasn’t getting an urge to pick up my Kindle during the day,...

As promised, this has been a short series of posts. The last review came with a whole suitcase full of trigger warnings. I have to say, until I read that list, I hadn’t realised just how depraved my mind was. It’s also worth pointing out that I had to look...

Friday 13th has a bit of a reputation, doesn’t it? Personally, I think it gets a bad press, and that certainly seemed to be the case during the blog tour. There weren’t any reviews that day, but Els over at B for Bookreview shared an interview we’d...

This post is the fifth in a short series. If you want to check the others out, they’re probably listed in the sidebar. If not, a search should narrow things down. The fourth day of the blog tour had two Instagram reviews on it. An issue I’ve struggled with...

This post is the fourth in a short series of posts. If you want to check the others out, they’re probably listed in the sidebar. My second Instagram review was provided by @the_b00kreader (or Siobhan as people know her in the real world). ‘…A...

Following on from my previous posts, it’s time to share my third highlight from the recent blog tour for Carrion. Julie at A Little Book Problem took part in the blog tour for Ravens Gathering and, clearly a glutton for punishment, decided to do it again this...

Like all authors, I’ve been asked in the past whether what I write is from experience. I suspect most writers of fiction do draw from elements of their lives. That doesn’t mean to say JK Rowling attended a school of witchcraft and wizardry, or that Douglas...

Following on from my post last Saturday, it’s time to share my second highlight from the recent blog tour for Carrion. Instagram has been around for a while, but it still feels a little new (if not alien) to me. Even so, several of the tour participants are...

Unlike some authors, I don’t think Louise Jensen has made any secret of the fact that she has a writing alter ego. I do understand why authors adopt different personas. If you want to write in a different genre, there’s a possibility you’ll disappoint your readership...

A couple of weeks ago, there was a blog tour for Carrion. The last time I did one of these, I pretty much wrote my own blog post for every participant on the tour, as well as sharing the content as widely as I could (which, frankly, isn’t that widely because...

Perhaps unusually, I’m going to open up by saying that I know both authors of this book – but in this case, that knowledge will provide context to my review. I first ‘met’ Sue online through her blog, and later in person at a gathering of bloggers in...

At Halloween, I took part in an event for a Facebook group and, in anticipation of that, reduced the price of my eBooks. The intention was to offer something extra to the people in the group taking part, but it also meant others could buy the books for 77p instead of...
