This is one of my favourite books. I return to it often. I wish I could wipe it from my memory and read it for the first time again.

Hahaha, I've been called worse so that's fine. I hate autocorrect too. And tiny keyboards.

Eden Unbound is only 99p this month.

It's got romance, heart-warming characters, community spirit - and a sinister mystery thread until the big reveal.

They are an absolute nightmare. It annoys me so much when authors are disappointed after spending thousands on them and being promised the earth.
I think there are pros and cons with trad and self-publishing. It's great that writers have choices.

What is a vanity publisher and how can I spot one?

There are a number of scams targeting authors.

The most enduring is the vanity publisher. It's easy to fall for one if you're new to the publishing world.

Here's my article on what a vanity press is and how to spot one.

Oh really? Not sure if that puts me off trying miso or makes it more appealing.

I love this.

If you've been thinking about writing a novel, it's never too late to do it.

Lots of published authors started their writing career later in life.

If you don't try, you'll never know if it's possible. Life is too short not to pursue our dreams.
