Do Men Read Romance and Chick Lit?

The Famous Five to hit the Silver Screen!

Never mind reading this as a child, I’m loving it now! How exciting to read that Enid Blyton’s Famous Five series is getting a new makeover and being turned into a film franchise! Just wow! I can’t believe it. The UK film production company Working Title have bought the rights from Hodder – the publisher who now […]

Author Interview: Jack Croxall

*tuts* that Jack Croxall, he gets everywhere! He’s only released a full trilogy – how unambitious is that? Thankfully, I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of his latest book Torn. It is the final instalment in the Tethers trilogy, and I was eager to see where Jack would finish things. I have to say that I […]

Feature in The Gainsborough Standard

I’ve been extremely lucky with promotion in my local area. When I embarked on a short, but sweet library tour to promote my contemporary adult novel The Caseworker’s Memoirs, the local library put up posters, created leaflets and put up a stand with me on it! Completely overwhelming, let me tell you. I never imagined to […]

Should Books Be Released Posthumously?

Before I delve into my opinions on books being released posthumously, I though I’d share a few news pieces about me with you. Here Lies Love has now been officially released in every format available and across multiple retailers. If you love a paperback in your hands, then I’d definitely recommend The Book Depository as it […]

Computer Games Have Stories Too

The art of storytelling isn’t limited to book form. In fact, in Ancient Greece, stories were often told orally by a bard in front of a fire and a crowd. Epic poems such as Homer’s Illiad and Odyssey were brought to life when the evenings were closing in and the day’s work was done. And […]
