Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
I’m a sucker for a hardcover! I will always get the hardcover if it’s available and affordable. Paperback is easier to travel with and manhandle, so that’s easily a close second. I have a really difficult time listening to audiobooks, so I don’t tend to do those at all.
Pick a genre, any genre!
ADVENTURE! Or horror … or queer YA contemporary, or … Basically I will read just about anything, though I am not a romance rea...

Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
Paperback. I really struggle to listen to anything, and paperbacks are smaller and just all-in-all a more comfortable format.
Pick a genre, any genre!
Fantasy. To be a bit more specific, stories that are set in other worlds, i.e not on this earth, that probably don’t have a lot of sci-fi elements (though I tolerate that from time to time). I love awesome magic systems and fantastic creatures, but they’re not a m...

1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
Paperback (though I read more ebooks).
2. Pick a genre, any genre!
Paranormal anything!
3. What is the first book you remember reading?
Myself? Socks for Supper.
4. What book shaped your childhood most?
The same book. It’s about a poor couple on a farm not having money, and bartering for cheese from their neighbors with socks, then the neighbor knitting a sweater with the sock yarn and g...

1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
I’m always a sucker for hardback copies of books, but paperback is the most versatile and easiest to get your hands on
2. Pick a genre, any genre!
I’m a hardcore fantasy lover! That being said, I do love the subgenres of Urban and Dark fantasy. There’s just so much you can do with a story that falls into either category, and so many themes to play with.

Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
All three! I read paperbacks in the bath, hardbacks when they’re fancy editions or picture books, and I listen to audiobooks every night to help me get to sleep.
Pick a genre, any genre!
Fantasy romance. My favourite escapist treat!
What is the first book you remember reading?
A non-fiction hardback my dad had about the lifecycle of ants. It was fascinating and weird, which suit me down to the ground.
What ...

1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
I prefer paperbacks, but I will never turn down a hardback! I do love ebooks as well, as I can have hundreds at my fingertips at any given time. I must admit I have never listened to an audiobook before, but I am currently looking into getting my own novels distributed in that format.
2. Pick a genre, any genre!
I will read anything! It’s honestly impossible to pick a favorite genre because I love all ...
SPSFC Finalist Results – A Touch of Death placed 8th!
The first SPSFC has been so much fun and I’m very glad I entered A Touch of Death. From 300 down to 30 (Semi-Finalists), to the final 7 (Finalists), it’s been amazing to see all the self-published sci-fi books that have been showcased! The results of the finals came out today and whilst ATOD didn’t end up making it into the final round, it did end up placing eighth overall! I’m very proud of my little dystopian novel! The competition is so good and all the books that made it into the finals look...

1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
I prefer paperbacks for their portability. Hardcovers look cool to have on your shelf, but they feel too bulky to hold while reading. I don’t read audiobooks myself, but I don’t discount it as a good way to read.
2. Pick a genre, any genre!
This is tough as I’m always trying to mess with multiple genres. If I had to pick a favorite, though, I’d have to go with sci-fi.

1. Paperback, hardback, audiobook?
Paperback and hardcover. There’s nothing like the smell of paper compared to audiobook or kindle.
2. Pick a genre, any genre!
Urban fantasy, gothic horror or just horror. Whatever’s dark.
3. What is the first book you remember reading?
Goldilocks? Maybe, Macbeth might have been my first seen play when I was little.
4. When did you first start writing?
There was a l...

Yes, any genre … I write mystery-thriller books with a little bit of romance.
3. What is the first book you remember reading?
Pippi Longstocking. I was in third grade.

I think that would have to be The Hobbit.
