The only thing disappointing about Will Tinkham’s The Teddy and Bara Show was that it had to end. If you’re looking for a fast paced feel good tale, this is it!

Just finished Judith Arnopp’s take on the Young Henry Tudor. If you like history, it’s worth a read.

Fireflies and Chocolate, a fabulous sequel to The Mermaid and The Bear by Ailish Sinclair. A book so well written I didn’t want it to end.

My first February book, Kiss Me When I’m Dead by @DominicPiper1 stopped me finishing the edit on my own next release. It was THAT good. If you like detective stories and don’t mind a little violence and sex, this series is well worth checking out!

My first non Indie book in a long time was Keep the Aspidistra Flying by George Orwell.

If you love a book, make the author’s day by leaving a review. This is my latest review for Luck of the Draw and it made my day. A story of prejudice, lies, obsessions, and a missing girl

Here’s the deal: Make reading your hobby this year. It’ll expand your mind, grow your perspective, and if you grab a library card, you’ll be supporting authors too (yes, in places like the UK, AU, NZ, and Canada, libraries pay authors!). Reading isn’t just funβ€”it’s a win for everyone.

Are the bots getting denser? I’m pretty sure. George Orwell is not in need of any assistance from this chap πŸ€£πŸ™„
