I am absolutely thrilled and delighted to be here on Day One of the blog tour for Sheila O'Flanagan's latest book, Her Husband's Mistake!

What a thrill, as well as an honour to be kicking off the blog tour today for Michael Connelly's latest book, Dark, Sacred Night! In this police procedural, Connelly teams up his well-known and familiar detective Harry Bosch, who's now left the police force, with his fairly new character, LAPD detective Renée Ballard. After a... Continue Reading →
A beautiful story about 2 gentle souls who find each other in the midst of attempting to navigate the landscape of a country far from home, where everything seems strange. They instantly recognise in each other a familiarity and comfort, while at the same time realising that their relationship is one that will not meet... Continue Reading →
Anyone who's ever been involved in planning a wedding, whether it's their own, or a friend or family member's, knows that the final product (everything and everyone looking beautiful, smiles all around, hugs and kisses etc. etc.) certainly doesn't tell the full story!

Another book set in a village (we all know how much I love those)! This time, the village of St. Agnes in Cornwall and there's a 200-year-old feud thrown into the mix, together with the expected undercurrent of menace and unease. I loved that gothic touch that was added in here, and I absolutely adored... Continue Reading →
Kim Nash is very special to me. She's one of the very first book publicists I made contact with when I first became a reviewer!! I'm absolutely thrilled that she's now become the published author of this absolutely lovely book - the first of what I hope will be many more! I think I smiled... Continue Reading →
You know when you pick up a John Marrs book that you won't be getting much sleep! Firstly because you'll be reading way into the night, and secondly because his books are so thought-provoking (and slightly disturbing, let's not lie), that they keep you awake as your mind races with thoughts and ideas that you...
