In a way, I feel like I’ve discovered Mel Comley far too late. When you look at the list of books she’s written, you get a sense she’s been around forever. But that’s clearly not the case. The first ‘Justice’ book was only published in 2011 and I’m sure I saw recently...

It’s fair to say that I like my fiction with a bit of depth. I don’t mean War and Peace kind of depth, or The Bible (Seriously? Some people out there still think that’s non-fiction?), but I like a good yarn with layers, ideally a few twists, and characters that feel...

Time has seemed to shift this year. What you thought happened only a few days ago actually took place back in early spring, and what seemed like months ago turns out to have been last week. Or is it just me? A lot of this warping of time is probably down to the weird...

A few years ago, I became acquainted with Sarah Brentyn. In this modern age, it’s perhaps inevitable that our acquaintance has been pretty much via social media. How it happened is a mystery now, probably some chance encounter as these things often are. Such is...

For those of you who follow this blog closely (yes, both of you!), it’s probably been a bit top-heavy with Carrion recently, though I’m sure you can understand why – and, if you can’t, have you been paying attention?! Anyway, I am aiming for...

My last post was a review of Mel Comley’s book, Cruel Justice but, in explaining how I came to read it, I also mentioned that she’d told me she would read Carrion. Although I didn’t want to hold her to it, I did get a sense she was genuine in her...

For what seems like decades, but in reality is only a few years, I’ve been following an increasing list of book bloggers. With the numbers involved, it’d be impractical to read and share every single post, and that’s a shame because they really...

Back in the mists of time (or February, as it’s better known – is it really only a few months ago?), I attended one of the stop-offs on the Orenda Roadshow. You can read my post about it here. The event provided an opportunity to meet the authors at the...

It doesn’t feel like it, but it’s over 6 weeks since Carrion became available as an eBook. Early reviews are good, and I know there are people out there who’ve read it and also said how much they enjoyed it (please do pop on to Amazon and/or...

There have been times in the past when I’ve complained about the excessive numbers of self-published books out there. This isn’t because I don’t believe Indie authors have a place in the publishing world – I’m an Indie myself. My concern...

I wrote recently about how much I appreciate book bloggers. If you missed that post, you can catch it here. In the aftermath of my recent blog blitz, dialogue did continue with some of those bloggers and one of them, Hayley, asked about me doing a guest post....

During the recent blog blitz I did for Carrion, I was introduced to some book bloggers I hadn’t come across before. In the time I’ve been interacting with book bloggers, it’s become apparent that there are occasions when they don’t always feel...
