Published by Accent Press on 1st December in paperback and for kindle, it’s available in both formats from Amazon in the UK… Read More »
Back in February I was delighted to run a blog tour spotlight for True Colours by Elly Redding. This gorgeous looking book is available in paperback and for kindle, and I’m a little sad (and a teeny bit ashamed… sorry Elly!) that I still haven’t been able to fit in reading her book myself. But many other readers… Read More »
It’s always such a pleasure featuring Caroline James on Being Anne! Caroline visited the blog with a lovely interview last year, when I reviewed (and so enjoyed…) Coffee Tea The Caribbean & Me – you’ll find that feature here. And my review of her novella, Jungle Rock, is one of my most-read posts since I relaunched… Read More »
I’ve yet to read a book from Honno Press that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed, so it was a real frustration that I couldn’t fit this one into my schedule. But I’m still delighted to join the blog tour for Remember No More by Jan Newton – the first in the DS Kite mystery series, released… Read More »
Today’s post really isn’t about me, but when I re-launched Being Anne last year, I was so grateful for everyone’s support. One of my most loyal supporters was Ian Wilfred – re-tweeting my every post, always with a lovely comment of his own. When I thanked him and asked him why he’d chosen to help me,… Read More »
Something a little different for you today! I’m really pleased to welcome author Cathie Devitt to Being Anne, to tell us more about her trilogy featuring Bernice O’Hanlon, a contemporary Wiccan witch. The first in the series, Don’t Drink & Fly, is already available in paperback and for kindle (via Amazon and major book stores): Bernice… Read More »
Can I just make clear to everyone that I’m not on a retainer with Choc Lit?! It’s just that, every now and then, you find a publisher that matches your tastes so perfectly, it just might look that way! This time, I’m delighted to be sharing my review of One Dark Lie by Clare Chase.… Read More »
When I write these “coming up” posts, it’s usually because I’m desperately trying to get myself in some way organised for the month ahead. Things are wonderfully busy on Being Anne – so many authors responded to my offer (via Book Connectors) of some guest spots (to cover my return to full speed reading!) and… Read More »
I’ve always been rather proud of being a Choc Lit Star… if you love the books they publish as much as I do, it might be something you’d like to do too, and I’ve added some details below to tell you how. But this month it’s been REALLY exciting! I’ve had the immense pleasure and… Read More »

Do you know, I’m sure I have a copy of Mrs Sinclair’s Suitcase somewhere – but I’ll tangle with the depths of my bookshelves later. I was only searching because I’ve just finished reading A Life Between Us by Louise Walters – it’s released in paperback by Matador on Tuesday 28th March – and I… Read More »
I’m taking my turn today on the blog tour for Foxes Unearthed by Lucy Jones, published by Elliott & Thompson, available in hardcover and kindle editions, and published in paperback on 16th March. I’m usually a fiction reader, and that won’t be changing any time soon – and I do apologise that (so far) I’ve… Read More »
It was an immense pleasure to find myself sitting next to author Angela Wren at a book launch dinner last year. Angela and I already knew each other from our working days, when we both grappled with project management and business change. Since my escape, I’ve remained content to write about books written by others,… Read More »
I’m delighted to welcome Peter Taylor-Gooby to Being Anne today. The last time Peter was here, it was shortly after the release of The Baby Auction. You might remember the wonderful strap-line: “Romance, revenge, revolution – and a forensic analysis of how market capitalism destroys human kindness”. Peter’s latest book, Ardent Justice, was published on 8th… Read More »
