NaNoWriMo 2015: Update 1
I know I’m only a few days into NaNoWriMo but here’s an update of where I’m at so far. Somehow in only two days I’ve managed to get about a third of the way into Mycroft 5. Still not a clue what the title is but I’ll probably figure that out soon. As often happens […]

Something in the Air: A Review
This is a short story in the Something series by Ben Starling, and was given to me in return for my review. While quite short this story is very sweet. It’s a fairly typical romance story but there was just something so gentle yet poignant about this one, that I found myself really routing for […]

Two New Pre-orders: Fantasy boxset and Mycroft 3
So today I’ve got some very exciting news because there’s not one, but two more publications up for pre-order. Legacy is out on Nov 12th as the very pretty picture says! That’s just over two weeks away. Not only is Wandering to Belong one of the favourite fantasy stories I’ve written but it’s also with […]

The Song of the Jubilee: A Review
This was an ebook I was given by the author, Raeden Zen, in return for my review, and is the first book in the Phantom of the Earth series. This is a science fiction sort of story with strong dystopian elements which unfortunately the cover and title don’t make obvious. I’m quite a science fan […]

People Watching
I have to admit that this is one of my favourite past-times. I love watching other people, especially people I don’t know. There’s this great café near where I live that has loads of really antique special mirrors on the walls, all over the place. I always try and sit on table 13, mostly because […]

Here’s the blurb for this shiny new book (please don’t read if you’ve not read the first one, instead go grab that here while it’s free): Amelia Jones has turned Mycroft’s world […]

A Legacy of Light: A Review
This is a fantasy ebook by Daniel Arenson that I picked up as part of a seven book fantasy collection for only 77p. I know, a total bargain! For starters, this book has dragons. Usually this is a sign of a good book, but this one goes a whole step better. It had people who […]

Why Amelia Price?
I’ve had quite a few people ask me recently why the new Mycroft series is all under the new pen name, Amelia Price, especially given that it says on all the covers ‘Jess Mountifield writing as’. I’ll start with the first part of that question that’s sort of implied. Why am I using a pen […]

The Professor: A Review
This was another book on my classics list. I decided to try this because it was another offering by the Bronte sisters, this one from Charlotte. I adored Jane Eyre and wanted to see what else the wonderful author had penned. This is her first published offering and it does show a little. The book […]

Digital Heretic: A Review
This is the second story in The Game is Life series by Terry Schott. I reviewed the first book here. This book starts off pretty much where the first one left off, following the characters both in the game and outwide of it. It has the same sort of feel to the first although I […]
