Blog posts that focus on all other aspects of writing - my ramblings, book reviews (fiction and business), and updates on my own writing progress.
Underneath the Christmas Tree by Heidi Swain
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without some festive reads and top of the #TBR stack was Underneath the Christmas Tree by Heidi Swain. Heidi’s books are always a favourite, so I couldn’t wait to get hold of this year’s Christmas offering. The Blurb Wynter’s Trees is the home of Christmas. For the people of Wynmouth it’s …
The Shadow at the Door by Tim Weaver
My latest read is a book I’ve been super keen to get my hands on from the moment Tim announced it was coming! I love Tim’s books and the David Raker stories are gripping. I dragged my children all over town trying to track down The Shadow at the Door and eventually had to order …
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman was one of those books that everyone in the book world seemed to be talking about for quite a while. I’d had it on my list of books to get hold of for what seemed like an age before I actually purchased it. I was however, really looking …

Writing Update: Mid March 2021
At the end of last month’s update, I assured you that I’d keep you up to date with another update this month. Well here it is, but there is very little to update you on. I have had a month that has been tough, life is hard and I am struggling. I am swimming against …
A Taste of Home by Heidi Swain
In a break from my “normal” blog schedule, I am today posting a standalone book review of Heidi Swain’s upcoming novel A Taste of Home. I am absolutely honoured to have been able to read a pre-release copy of Heidi’s newest book as I love the feel-good books that Heidi writes. Here is the blurb …
