Book Preview: The Tournament by Matthew Reilly

I have to be honest. I haven’t come across many ‘well known’ Aussie authors? Or have I – I’m not entirely sure. Of course, in the past year and a half, I’ve awarded three 5 star reviews to Dianne Gray and Dionne Lister, who are both from down under, but they are more indie authors. […]

The Young Moon by Sharon Sant – Book Review

Sharon Sant’s urban fantasy debut, Sky Song introduced us to the prospect of life elsewhere in the universe, albeit not in a very ‘alien’ way. Jacob always had an inkling that he was somehow different, maybe through his unique trademark of colour changing eyes that reflect his moods, but it isn’t until he learns of his […]

Cover Reveal: Super Fred

I have been chatting to the wildly charming, Tony Gilbert recently about his upcoming new book for children. I also had the chance of a sneak peak of Super Fred a while back and let me tell you, this book would be a great Christmas present for children who love a great rhyming story. Exceptionally well […]

Cover Reveal: Seconds Before Sunrise

You may remember that earlier this year, I interviewed American author, Shannon Thompson about her paranormal fantasy Minutes Before Sunset. During which, Shannon revealed that some of the themes that were to run through the entire trilogy was light vs dark, and also choice and destiny. It has proven to be a successful first instalment currently […]

By that I mean going on radio, giving talks in libraries, gracing the pages of magazines and newspapers … and you know, one of the questions I often get asked is to do with music. Do I listen to music whilst […]

Fantastic Quote

Writing comes in many shapes and sizes. It isn’t restricted to just novels and eBooks, but magazines, newspapers, menus, cards, lyric sheets … the list goes on! But have you ever seen something written down, just by chance, that it made you stop and take notice? Well I did today and I thought it was […]

Guest Post: The Accidental Author by Jane Yates

The Accidental Author by Jane Yates Hello, my name is Jane Yates I am a newbie indie author who has self-published two books so far this year. I am badly dyslexic and never used to think of myself as a writer at all. I have always been creative and an artist and it was my […]

The Manhattan Puzzle by Laurence O’Bryan – Book Review

I’ve championed Irish author, Laurence o’Bryan’s thriller series from the start. I have a soft spot for historical thrillers, and I’ve found O’Bryan’s writing to be fast paced and incredibly easy to engage with. I thoroughly enjoyed the second book in the series, The Jerusalem Puzzle, and it left me craving more. I had this last […]

Introducing – Here Lies Love

Some of you may have seen me teasing my twitter followers and Facebook ‘likers’ with information about my current WIP (work in progress). I am pleased, however, to reveal that my new book is entitled Here Lies Love, which is a New Adult tale. It is particularly dark, and concerns Abbey, a teenage girl who discovers just […]
