Saturday Recommendations

Happy Saturday.

Reading really is the BEST thing to do when it’s a bit dreary and miserable outside and you can’t summon up the enthusiasm to do much inside.

This week I’ve been dipping into old favourites again – Harry Dresden ftw. Then a pre-ordered book popped up on my Kindle which was a terrific surprise. I always forget preorders and have sometime pre-ordered copies from the publisher and Amazon AND bought one on release day from ARe as well. But this time there was just one – sorry, Char...

Today in the Comfy Chair – Liam Livings

My guest today is Liam Livings, writer, baker extraordinaire, and fellow organiser of the annual UK Meet conference for lovers of LGBTTQ fiction, who has just released a touching romance called And Then That Happened with Love Lane Books.

Welcome Liam and thanks for answering my questions.

You’re an old hand at this author malarkey by now. :) If you could go back in time, is there anything you would like to tell your newbie self that would have made things easier?



I wouldn���t go that far; I���v...

I have been mostly comfort reading this week – sometimes you just gotta – but I have dipped into a couple of books whose authors were new to me though I have seen them both around the social media sites.

First of all I tried Infected: Prey by Andrea Speed. I’ve followed Andrea for a while on Twitter and was impressed by her ready wit and good humour. I have no idea why I’d never picked up one of her books before. I guess there are just so MANY new releases – there must be hundreds each week n...

Saturday Recommendations

As seems to be becoming a habit, I’d left this post as a draft instead of scheduling it, so please forgive me if my saturday recommendation comes out on the Sunday. But whichever day it is, it’s the weekend and that’s a good thing. There’s something about weekends! A bit of a lie-in in the morning, a liesurely breakfast, a good book to read throughout.

I’ve read a lot of books this week, probably because I have a story to write and am scared of it, and most of these books are worthy of being...
