It’s an absolute delight today to welcome Shelley Wilson as my guest on Being Anne, as part of the blog tour for How I Motivated Myself to Succeed, out now in paperback and eBook, and available via Amazon in the UK and US. Self-help may not be a genre I often feature, but I have… Read More »

Another one of those frustrating days today – as I feature yet another book that I would have really loved to read. Lonely Hearts by Gwyn GB was published by Chalky Dog Publishing on 15th July, and I do hope I’ll be able to catch up with DI Claire Falle later in the series. This… Read More »

I’m really delighted today to welcome author Carolyn Hughes as my guest. Those of you who love historical fiction will perhaps have come across Fortune’s Wheel already: the first book in the Meonbridge Chronicles, it was published in November 2016, and is available for kindle and in paperback from Amazon in the UK and US,… Read More »

It’s such a pleasure today to be part of the blog tour for the final book by Helen Cadbury, Race to the Kill, published by Allison & Busby on 21st September. “Final” is such a sad word to write – I never had the pleasure of meeting Helen (although we did plan to, on several… Read More »

Delighted tonight to be taking part in the cover reveal for Only One Woman by Christina Jones and Jane Risdon, to be published as an e-book on 23rd November by Accent Press (available for pre-order), with the paperback to follow on 24th May next year. I was under strict instructions on this one – 7pm on… Read More »

It’s always an honour and immense pleasure to launch a blog tour on publication day – but this tour is particularly special to me. I’m passionate about the writing of Carol Lovekin – her first published novel, Ghostbird, will always have a special place in my heart. It has been quite thrilling to follow the… Read More »

Delighted today to be sharing my review of No Way Back, the second novel from Kelly Florentia, published tomorrow (21st September) by Urbane Publications in paperback and for kindle.

I’m delighted today to be spotlighting the new book by Georgina Troy, Summer Sundaes: this is the first in her new The Boardwalk by the Sea series, published by Green Shutter Books on 15th July, and available via Amazon in the UK and US. I still – to my shame – haven’t managed to fit… Read More »

Sheryl Browne writes the most wonderful psychological thrillers. It’s not always my favourite genre, I rarely commit to a series, and I’m often a rather delicate flower who’s not too keen on blood, mayhem and violence – but there’s something about Sheryl’s writing that keeps me coming back for more. Deadly Intent – the third… Read More »

I’ve mentioned before how excited I was to discover Blackbird Books – an independent publisher with a real eye for different and exciting reads, and they really are some of the loveliest people to deal with. When they told me about The Spell of the Horse: Stories of Healing and Personal Transformation with Nature’s Finest Teachers by Pam… Read More »

If you want to move forward, sometimes you have… Read More »

I’ve already shared my review of the excellent Shadows by Thorne Moore, published by Endeavour Press on 14th June – you can read it again here. But when I heard that Brook Cottage Books were running a “blitz” event for the book today, I really wanted to be part of it. This book was such… Read More »

Now you all know the author’s one of my favourites, don’t you? First there was Invisible – you’ll find me on the cover (what a thrill that was!) telling everyone how it was “all consuming, quite unforgettable”. Then there was Flowers for the Dead with my favourite ever serial killer, Adam. Barbara’s first book with… Read More »

I’m an unashamed fan of Louise Beech’s writing. I loved How To Be Brave – I think it might still be my secret personal favourite (you can read my review again here) – but then along came The Mountain In My Shoe (you’ll find my review here), totally different, but with the same deft emotional touch,… Read More »
