Literary journey of an office career escapee
Jonathan’s life has certainly not been a safe harbour with calm waters. Not since he was thirteen. I really liked the first book “Just Jonathan”. Having lost my father at about the same age as Jonathan lost his mother, I could relate to his struggles on so many levels. I had no idea what to... Continue Reading →
What should a good book do? First, it should make you forget the reality. Second, it must transport you to a different one and keep you there while you read. “Everywhere, Everywhere” by Juliette Caron ticks both these boxes effortlessly. Lately, I’ve turned back into a ‘before bedtime’ reader. There simply aren’t enough hours in... Continue Reading →
"But we could hope. Because that is what you do when you see the world has ended and you are still alive." The world Flo had known all her life has ended. Just like, one might think, Flo’s active life. No matter the positivity regarding the age that had been flourishing in that old world... Continue Reading →
I thoroughly enjoyed returning to Sixpenny Bissett, the quaint little town in Dorset, my favourite county in all of England, and diving back into the life of Jenni Sullivan. Jenni is fifty, and she has just started a new life after her old one ended with the death of her husband Reggie. She is doing... Continue Reading →

What if, after our life is over, we could live it again? But differently. In a body and under the circumstances we have no power to influence. Probably those who had an easy – even if a little boring – life would feel cautious. Why spoil what has already worked out quite nicely… Edward Stubbins... Continue Reading →
In the middle of a self-inflicted break from writing, this book is exactly what I need to keep my creative spark crackling. “Let's Write a Six-Word Story or a Poem” by M.A. Quigley is a wonderful source of inspiration for everyone for whom words are the way of expressing themselves. I like the method the... Continue Reading →
One book separates me from a sort of a milestone. When I finish the book I am currently reading, I’ll have read 150 books by indie authors or published by small press. It has been an amazing journey, which I don’t plan to stop. A few years ago, I found that I didn’t feel the... Continue Reading →
Are you ready for a wonderfully disturbing and spine-tingling reading experience – for some, probably to the extreme? If so, don’t hesitate to grab book two of the Banished series by T.R. Hamby after finishing book one. “Queen of the Immortals” picks up right where book one “King of the Wicked” ended in a massive cliffhanger.... Continue Reading →
I like books that have the elusive quality of lulling you into the story. You can’t explain it with logic. The inexplicable pull is just there, and you fall under its spell. “The Unexpected Queen” by A.R. Kaufer had this quality for me. Once I started reading it, it felt as if gently rocking waves...
