Inheritance Books – Rachel Brimble

This week’s Inheritance Books are from über prolific novelist and all round lovely person, Rachel Brimble.

Hi Rachel, welcome to Inheritance Books. Please tell us a bit about yourself.

I live in beautiful Wiltshire and lucky enough to be able to write full-time around my husband, two teenage daughters and black Lab, Max. I started writing for publication in 2005 and since my first book was published in 2007, have managed to contract all twelve of the books I have written.

When I’m not writing, I...

Having a Ball is going on Tour!

How rock and roll does that sound?

To kick off the tour, I’m chatting to Shaz at Jera’s Jamboree. You can read the interview here.

Completely coincidentally, I’m also chatting to Emma at Writer in a Wheelchair today. I hope I didn’t repeat myself…

Inheritance Books – Cathy Lamb

This week’s Inheritance Books are from Cathy Lamb, author of thought provoking women’s fiction.

Hi Cathy, welcome to Inheritance Books, please tell me a bit about yourself

I was born in Newport Beach, California and spent my first ten years playing outside like a wild vagabond.

As a child, I mastered the art of skateboarding, catching butterflies in bottles, and riding my bike with no hands. When I was ten, my parents moved me, my two sisters, a brother, and two poorly behaved dogs to Oregon bef...

New Year’s Resolutions – wishful thinking vs reality

Today I’m visiting Julie Ryan at All Things Bookie and talking about new year’s resolutions. Beware: I WILL be talking about sagging middles and disappointing endings.

Inheritance Books – Abbie Headon

Welcome to Inheritance Books in 2014! To start it off this year, we’ve got a poet. Abbie sent me the most helpful submission by reading the blog and preparing her contribution to be exactly right, so that all I had to do was drop the text in. Thanks Abbie, this makes you a Top Contributor. If I had an award for that, you’d get it. Anyway, on with the show.

Hi Abbie, welcome to Inheritance Books. Tell me a bit about yourself.

Thank you for inviting me onto your blog – I’ve greatly enjoyed readin...

A new year, a new blog and you can all help

Reblogged from readful things blog:

So, I was talking to Julian this afternoon and we have hatched an idear. (Brits. Everything ends in R.) We have devised a way to give people a simple way to contribute to something fun and get a little exposure for their blogs.

We have started a new blog, "Line by Line" which you can find here :

This sounds like a very fun idea. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!

Goodreads Book Review: The Wedding Diary by Margaret James

The Wedding Diary by Margaret James

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’ve read The Silver Locket, which is one of the historicals written by Margaret James. I enjoyed it a lot and learned a fair bit about the war in the process. The Wedding Diary is a bit of a departure as it’s set in contemporary times. I readit mainly because I was curious to see how a contemporary novel would compare to the historical ones.

Goodreads Book Review: Much Ado About Sweet Nothing by Alison May

Much Ado About Sweet Nothing by Alison May

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I bought this book because I heard that it had a proper maths geek as the hero. I have a soft spot for a clever man. Also, I met Alison May through the RNA and she makes me laugh, so I figured her books might too.

Trix is bright, capable and angry. Man, is she angry. The person that winds her up to this anger is Ben, aforementioned maths genius and social disaster. I love that Trix is strong, professional, clever and…well, normal...

Goodreads Book Review: The Reluctant Bride by Beverley Eikli

The Reluctant Bride by Beverley Eikli

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t normally read historicals (I may have mentioned this before?), but the espionage angle to this book interested me enough to download it.

Emily is pregnant and unmarried, and therefore ruined (Ruined! I tell you!). Angus has been in love with her from day one, but hasn’t got a lot of prospects. He marries her to ‘save’ her. She resents him. So far, so routine. What sets this book apart is the background and the detailed spy plo...

Inheritance Books – Alison May

This week’s Inheritance Books are from Alison May, fellow Choc-Lit novelist. I know Alison through the RNA and waste spend time having silly conversations with her on Twitter. I’m reading her book at the moment.

Hi Alison, welcome to Inheritance Books. Please tell us a bit about yourself.

Ahoy there. I’m Alison. I’m a writer. I’m based in Worcester, but I’m a Yorkshire girl originally. I write romantic comedies, and I’ve recently signed my first publishing contract with Choc Lit. I live with my...
