I’m knocked out by the early reviews on my book, Boatyard views. Thanks so much to those readers who have taken the time to read it and write their impressions. It makes all the slog of getting it out into the world worth it.
Still 99p/c until tomorrow!

This is a lovely book. It left such an impression on me with its evocative setting and touching story. @lisaidefender.bsky.social has a gift for the sense of a place and her books have such atmosphere!
THE SUM OF OUR SORROWS 💔
A tale of grief, hope, healing, coming-of-age, friendship, and survival. It is also a love story of two broken souls living through pain in search of better days and the renewal of one’s spirit. 🌊 🌖

One of my favourite memoirs this year will be released next month. Here’s my Goodreads review of the ARC copy I received of @JLambertAuthor’s wonderful More Manchester Than Mongolia.
Isn’t that title intriguing?

Everything by @marjorywrites.bsky.social is excellent. This is next on my tbr list!
The Greek Proposal, romantic suspense with a WW2 mystery set on a gorgeous olive grove high above the sea. The story came to me during a year in this region, on a long Greek sabbatical with my husband and terrier Wallace.
"A masterful piece of storytelling." A heartfelt love story". 5* reviews.

I worked harder on this book than any before it. My ex-publisher then failed to pay me what they owed me for it & did their best to ruin its chances of survival. That robbed me of a year of my life & ruined my health.
After all that, to see reviews like this one brings me close to tears too.

Highly recommended! I loved these books and feel I might just have to read them all again to combat the autumn blues. They are such lovely feelgood novels!
