A green and red book cover in deep hues with a silhouette image of two adults embracing and a child throwing a snowball at them. A faithful dog sits by their side. The title is Bringing Down the King by Fiona West. It is flanked by a snowman in a red scarf with yellow earmuffs and mittens and a red sweater with a Christmas tree on it. Below them are these words: I (26 F) met this guy (32) through my work. Thought he was hot, but it turns out he's involved in a scandal cover-up that I'm about to blow wide open. Problem is that my son got in trouble at school and he's the only mentor left. AITA for not wanting this creep around my kid? #christmasinjulydoubledelightsale

What's that? You've never read contemporary fantasy? Hmm, maybe take this as a sign...

I think some people call it hope core? I might be making that up. But agreed, it's so good. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Good thing Pratchett books don't have chapters, then! 😏 My kid liked Douglas Adams at that age, might be a little more accessible?

Christmas in July double delight sale. On a light green background there's a picture of a white man in a blue sweater smugly drinking from a black mug. He sits behind a folding table with a white sign on the front of it that says: chaste romance has no tension; change my mind.

Look, I know, everyone thinks a no-sex romance means it's boring. But I promise, there's plenty of long looks, snowball fight flirting, and at least one makeout sesh in both books. Why not give it a try? Money-back guarantee!*

If you or someone you travel with has autism, ADHD, #Fibro or a condition involving brain fog, fatigue or chronic pain (eg. long covid)...

here's my reflections on how the above can impact travel. And my tips to minimise sensory overload, stress, ADHD tax & on managing pacing & comfort on the road

LOL

Every time I think that my life is insignificant, I remind myself that there are people I've never met who offered me light when I needed it, and in the same sense, probably I'm that for someone else. And that's part of the point of art, even if all you've shared is unfinished work.

Heat getting to you? Then it’s time to celebrate Christmas in July to cool things down! And I have just the book for you: MISTLETOE MAGIC AND OTHER HOLIDAY TALES! And it’s on sale on Amazon. So grab your iced tea and enjoy! amzn.to/3Txe2dJ #shortstories #holidaystories #ChristmasinJuly

She's classy. He's a clown. Let the games begin. A book cover on the left shows a blond white man with wet shorts standing in the water, swinging a blonde white woman who's giggling tremendously and also quite wet. This, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of her being a midwife in need of a date to her mentor's wedding and him being very keen to be that date. The book is called Could Be Something Good by Fiona West.

Five stars sit at the top of the review. West again does an exceptional job dealing with serious topics in a sensitive and realistic manner. Somehow she manages to neatly walk that line of talking about things openly and honestly without getting heavy or preachy. Marjorie, goodreads. Free for a limited time. On the right side of the page a gold and purple book cover with tropical leaves are on the edges and a couple of holding hands in silhouette sits. The title is winning back the Duke and the author is Fiona West.

As luck would have it, this book also happens to be free today! ☺️ But this is something I've worked really hard on, and I'm glad I nailed it In this reader's mind. 🥰
