This is Book One of The Chronicles of Albion. Having read the Middengard Sagas, which introduces readers to three of the main characters featured in Gloriana – Isolde, Josh, and Molly plus others – I must say that I have enjoyed reading Gloriana even more than I did the previous series, which I found to be original and enchanting. You don’t have to have read The Middengard Sagas to get into the new series but I think you will understand the characters better if you do.  It’s an exciting prequel series that takes you to another world full of magic, time travel, and fantasy adventure. Glori ..read more

Their world is currently exposed to a rift haemorrhaging demons, who are hell-bent on killing everyone and preventing them from stopping the Ha ..read more

So, what’s it all about? Firstly, this has to be my favourite all time Christmas themed romance with a generous sprinkling of humour and a dollop of human angst.  I didn’t want the book to end!  It is a joy to read and I just couldn’t put it down because I simply had to know what was going to happen next! Leah catches her so-called boyfriend in a compromising position with a co-worker and promptly quits her job in London.  Consequently, after too many bottles of Prosecco, Leah gets caught up in an auction war and finds herself the owner of a Christmas tree farm in Scotland.  At first Lea ..read more

I enjoy seasonal reads and Christmas at Woolworths was such an enjoyable and enlightening read! This is my honest and unbiased review in return for a copy of this book from the publishers. I found myself fully immersed in the story all the way through the book.  The characters are well developed, authentic and endearing.  I loved that the women were depicted as strong, interesting and inspirational characters. Right from the start, I was intrigued to find out what life was like for those amazing women living in Erith, Kent.  Freya, Ruby, Maisie, Sarah, Betty, Maureen, Vera and Pat to name but ..read more

Ahh….who doesn’t like a feel-good story.  I loved Geekerella!

I enjoyed Beneath a Burning Sky.  This intriguing historical novel takes place in two locations, one being England and the other being Egypt.
