My review…..

Leo and the Lightning Dragons is an absolutely magical little rhyming story book which is so beautifully illustrated, with an extremely eye-catching cover.

Leo is fighting dragons, but not the kind you might be thinking of. Leo’s dragons are “disguised as lightning crackling inside his head”. Many people try to help Leo to beat the dragons, but ultimately he defeats them himself out of sheer determination and by never giving up!

A very inspirational story with a lesson for us all. I have no doubt it will be enjoyed by all, young or old!

Leo will stay in my thoughts for a very long time to come.

Leo and the Lightning Dragons

Blurb

Everybody in the kingdom is supporting the brave knight Leo in his battle against his fearsome dragons. They try lots of different things to help him defeat them but eventually Leo realises that the most important thing to do is to believe in himself. This beautifully illustrated book with a poignant and uplifting rhyming story encourages children to persevere and find strength in the face of adversity, even when it seems that nothing is working. Written by Gill White for her son Leo who suffers from Ohtahara Syndrome, an extremely rare form of epilepsy, and beautifully illustrated by Fife artist Gilli B, this story has been positively received by parents of children with complex needs, by care workers and medical staff and by parents of healthy young children who love the book simply as an adventure story. All royalties from the sale of this book will go to CHAS (Children’s Hospices across Scotland).

The Faelti by Rachel Pudsey @RachelPudsey #BlogTour #AuthorInterview #LoveBooksGroupTours

Welcome to my stop on Rachel Pudsey’s The Faelti blog tour!

Faelti blog tour banner

Many thanks to Kelly @ Love Books Group Tours for arranging the following interview with Rachel Pudsey…..

Faelti author

For those who don’t know already, could you tell us about yourself and your book(s) please?

Faelti Screenshot_20180211-181401

Hi, my name is Rachel Pudsey. I was born in Scotland but have a ridiculously English surname (*ahem* Pudsey Bear *ahem*). I studied Psychology in university before heading into the big bad world and getting a job absolutely unrelated to my degree. Imagine that. I currently live in South Korea, have been here for over seven years now, and pay the bills by teaching business English to adults in Seoul. I am the author of the Aronia Series, a YA fantasy romance series set in a fictional land called Aronia. So far there are two titles available: The Watcher of the Night Sky and The Faelti. They follow the lead character, Abigail, as she tries to undo a terrible mistake that resulted in her being cursed: wishing on the stars.

Where did/do you get your ideas from?

All over the place! Sometimes they just pop up in my head. Sometimes a song title or lyric does it. Mostly, my ideas have been sparked by the environment around me. Nature has a big part to play, as does tourist or cultural sites. I think that hearing real folk stories or cultural oddities is really fascinating and they help to get the creative juices flowing.

Are any of your characters based (however loosely) on anyone you know?


Yes. I can tell you with absolute sincerity that one of the male leads in the Aronia Series is based on an ex-boyfriend. It sounds so corny to say, but when I dated him I felt like I had met my Edward. He was my perfect man. A Korean Taekwondo trainer/ex-bodybuilder who just wanted us to be happy. Obviously, we are broken up now so there were some unfortunate issues that couldn’t be resolved. But at the time of writing The Watcher of the Night Sky, I based the character, and some of his appearance, on him. It was the best way for me to understand the attachment my main character, Abigail, would have for someone she loved.

How do you pick your characters’ names?

I mostly research names and use them based upon their meaning. That is with the exception of some of the dwarf and fae names. Most of them were picked using a Finnish name generator (I used Finnish for anything connected to the Kelluva Isles) and because I liked the sound of them.

Can you share your writing process with us, in a nutshell?


I write whatever comes to mind and worry about the structure later. I don’t map out an entire story from beginning to end. I suppose I use the Stephen King approach. Most of the time I don’t know how my story will end. Too many things happen in life that can affect my story, so I just let it all out and then worry about structure and planning later. Editing is when I knuckle down, fix the plot holes, and make dramatic changes.

Who are your top 5 favourite authors?


Hard question! Last time I answered I said J. K. Rowling, S. E. Hinton, Brandon Sanderson, William Goldman, and Brent Weeks. Because I like to read them. But I want to add Terry Pratchett, Jane Austin, Ernest Hemingway, and Charles Dickens simply because I highlight sentences in their books for being so epic. The trouble is that my answer will always change depending on what authors I discover. I am currently reading Holly Black and starting to really love her work. Same goes for Lisa Maxwell and Helene Wecker. I discovered them last year and was impressed by Wecker’s extraordinary talent with the English language, and Maxwell for her ability to create intrigue and keep readers hooked. I suppose my current list will have to be: Goldman, Rowling, Black, Maxwell and Wecker.

If you could meet any author, who would it be and what would you ask them?

Honestly, I mulled over this question for a long time. I am finding it hard to come up with someone. I’m not the kind of person who aspires to be like others. Or holds another up as a role model. I obviously have people I admire, but not enough to care if I meet them or not. Does that make sense? So, maybe Jane Austin. I’d like to know more about the era she lived in.

Were you a big reader as a child?


Absolutely. I grew up reading Goosebumps and Point Horror books in primary school.

When did you start to write?


I wrote my first novel (if I can even call it that) in primary school. Maybe primary six or seven, but I can’t quite remember. It was a Point Horror style book with students from my class as the victims. Seems a bit morbid now I look back on it!

If you could re-write the ending to any book what would it be and what would you change?


Probably Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. I really wanted both of the Weasley twins to have survived the battle at Hogwarts. You can’t have one without the other! I am still raging about that. I wish it was Percy instead. And I hope Fred returned as a ghost and helped George run their store.


Is there a book you wish you had written?


Maybe The Princess Bride by William Goldman. That book is genius.


If you wrote an autobiography, what would your title be?   


I’m as discombobulated as you are.

If you could invite any fictional character for coffee who would it be and where would you take them?


Coffee with Albus Dumbledore would be an interesting day. Since this is entirely fictitious, I would take him to Diagon Alley in Universal Studios, Japan. They have a Three Broomsticks there. I’m sure he’d be fascinated by it.


What are you working on right now?


I am writing the third and final book of the Aronia Series. The title is named Aaravale.

Tell us about your last release?


My last release was The Faelti, book two of the Aronia Series. It continues the tale of Abigail as she tries her best to rid herself of a curse she accidentally placed on her life after wishing on the stars. I don’t want to give away too much to those who haven’t read the first one!

Do you have a new release due?


Yes, but unfortunately I can’t give a release date for Aaravale yet. All I can say is it will be released by summer this year. It is the third and final installment of the Aronia Series.


What do you generally do to celebrate on publication day?


Nothing much. Maybe just some drinks and dinner with close friends.

Faelti cover

Blurb

NEVER WISH UPON A STAR

 

Sixteen-year-old Abigail Crumble’s learning this the hard way.

 

During a moment of weakness, Abigail wished on the stars only to discover she’s cursed as a result. And she’s been on a journey to rectify her mistake ever since. Trouble is, the quest to rid herself of the curse has proven to be much more arduous than she could have ever imagined. And far from over.

 

Separated from her friends and believing them dead, trapped in the faelti camp and being held hostage by the evil Kai Sisu, Abigail is no closer to reaching Levana’s Dwelling and breaking the curse than she was the day she left her hometown.

 

Author Bio

Rachel was born and raised in Scotland but has a ridiculously English surname. A graduate of psychology, she now resides in South Korea. She has dabbled in teaching children, but after a few blessed years has succumbed to teaching business English to adults in Seoul.

Rachel has been writing stories for as long as she can remember. An obsession with Point Horror books led to her first novel being written at the age of ten. Truth be told, it wasn’t very good. The following years were spent reading, amateur acting in a youth group, occasionally playing guitar, and dabbling in songwriting, all the while continuing to write stories unworthy for print and developing her own style.

A mixture of inspiring authors had a huge influence upon her mind: S. E. Hinton, Mario Puzo, R. L. Stine, William Goldman, C.S Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, J. K. Rowling … the list goes on. For years, Rachel has cited The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton as her favourite book. These days, she considers The Princess Bride by William Goldman to be at the top of the list. But the list always changes. How can one simply pick a favourite from all the wonderful books out there? It’s like trying to pick one favourite food. Inconceivable!

The Wife’s Secret by Caroline England @CazEngland #BookReview

The Wife's Secret

The Wife’s Secret (previously published as Beneath The Skin, which is the title of the paperback version I read) is very much a character driven story. There are several complex characters, all with their own secrets, all intertwined in one way or another. A very complicated, but enthralling, mess of emotion!

It will be difficult to review without giving too much away, but I’ll try.

The story is predominantly focused on Antonia who is a quiet and seemingly broken character, but one who appears to the world as a woman with everything. She is beautiful, has a loving husband and a beautiful home, but has she ever really loved David? It’s not a spoiler to say that she has a dark secret and a past she tries to forget. Wondering what that was kept me intrigued throughout. I can’t say I found her a particularly likeable character, but I didn’t dislike her either. I guess I didn’t understand some of things she did, but then I didn’t live her life.

Her friendship with Sophie is a complicated one too, as Sophie knows things no-one else knows and she seems to feel somewhat beholden to her.

I didn’t warm to Sophie at all, or her husband, Sami, although both are quite fascinating. Both have pasts that they’d rather forget and their marriage is extremely fragile due to the secrets they both keep from each other. They don’t seem very well suited, even though they love each other in their own ways.

Mike’s and Olivia’s marriage is less than perfect also and this becomes all the more apparent as the story unfolds, with devastating consequences.

This was an absolutely compelling read full of lies and deceit. The suspense starts from the very first page and doesn’t let up until the very end. I was totally hooked and I highly recommend.

The Blood of Kings by #AngelaKing #BlogTour #AuthorInterview #LoveBooksGroupTours

Welcome to my stop on Angela King’s The Blood of Kings blog tour! 

The Blood Of Kings cover

With thanks to Kelly @ Love Books Group Tours for arranging the following interview with Angela King…..

Where did/do you get your ideas from?

It begins with a puzzle, an anomaly in time. For Example: There are more than a couple of primary sources which describe Princess Elizabeth giving birth to Thomas Seymour’s baby while she was staying under her step-mother’s care. I love discovering secrets and look for conspiracy everywhere.

Are any of your characters based (however loosely) on anyone you know?

No. But they all contain facets of people I know or have known. Otar is a based on someone called Bruno Stern. Padruig is the shadow of an Irish friend. It would be very hard to create someone out of a vacuum.

How do you pick your characters’ names?

Sometimes I know their name before I’ve written their story but it took a while before I settled on Aalia. The name is a Sanskrit word for exalted. Then I met a beautiful lady called Aalia. She was PR to British Airways, a really powerful executive, someone who didn’t suffer fools.

Can you share your writing process with us, in a nutshell?

I’ve come to realise my first draft is merely a map. Once the story has taken shape I begin to build the landscape.

Who are your top 5 favourite authors?

That’s probably the most difficult question here.

First and foremost Dorothy Dunnett, who I consider a genius.

Bernard Cornwell has an incredible grasp on historic writing and makes his settings and characters very real.

John Buchan – he’s most famous for The 39 Steps but I think his short story called Greenmantle is far superior. It’s history woven with spies. Hitchcock wanted to make it into a film but couldn’t get Hollywood to fund it.

Mike Craven and Graham Smith are my favourite crime writers and also wonderful friends. Without their support I wouldn’t have dared send my work to a publisher. They’ve supported my efforts every step of the way and I’m completely in awe of their skill.

If you could meet any author, who would it be and what would you ask them?

In a way I met my hero when I was at college. Though I’ve no doubt it was due to my size (being very small-boned) I was offered the chance to clear out the attics of a building which had been donated to the town of Rochester, because nobody else could squeeze between the rafters. Anyway, the house once belonged to Charles Dickens and I think his ghost was watching as I opened the dusty trunks and discovered his hats and clothes.

Were you a big reader as a child?

Voracious. I was often ill and survived by reading books. Mum says I could read before I started school. I could never spend a day without a book.

When did you start to write?

I’ve always loved to write so I can’t set a date or time. I won a creative writing competition when I was fourteen and Sir Patrick Moore came to school to present the prize. I had to read my story on the radio – I was terrified.

If you could re-write the ending to any book what would it be and what would you change?

I wouldn’t dare. As far as I’m concerned the author is the boss.

Is there a book you wish you had written?

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

If you wrote an autobiography, what would your title be?

Lost in Perpetuity.

If you could invite any fictional character for coffee who would it be and where would you take them?

I imagine this scene too often, and every time the character changes. Yesterday I had lunch in Ennerdale and the view was grey and uninviting. It was a favourite walk of Dorothy and William Wordsworth and I was so glad we had the benefit of a car.

What are you working on right now?

I’ve almost completed the sequel to The Blood of Kings. Aalia is trying to return to India when she’s diverted by the past. That and a young man called Louis.

Tell us about your last release?

The Blood of Kings begins in the summer of 1559 when a young girl called Aalia arrives in London searching for her brother. Her quest takes her on a dangerous journey where there are very few people to trust.

Do you have a new release due?

To Kill a Queen is the name of the sequel but I’m still working on the finite details.

What do you generally do to celebrate on publication day?

Meet up with all my friends – writers, family, those who keep me sane.

How can readers keep in touch with you?

Apart from messaging my Facebook page I’m happy to answer emails – anna.king969@hotmail.com

Is there anything else you would like us to know?

I’ve always wanted a pet elephant. And because I’ve recently lost 70% of my hearing having a house pet would help when visitors knock at the door.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, Angela 🙂

Blurb

A gripping story of heartache and intrigue

  1. A girl arrives in London to search for her brother.

Aalia, an awkward, arrogant teenager plans to bring William to his senses, until she discovers that both their lives are based on a lie.

Aalia must unravels a web of secrets but has the weight of her past to contend with.

Courageous and undisciplined, Aalia gradually comes to terms with the truth that William, her brother, has royal blood.

Deciding to undermine the men who want to use him as a pawn, Aalia must negotiate a world where secrecy arms the powerful. But unwilling to ask for anyone’s help she is forced into making a fateful decision.

Who can she trust when everyone around her is plotting? Is the truth really something worth dying for?

This epic story of secrets and betrayal paints a vivid picture of Elizabethan England and asks questions that span beyond the test of time.

Author bio

Angela King is a mum, daughter, gran and wife. She writes and lives in Cumbria, in a rosy sandstone cottage where past and present meet in glorious chaos. After a lifetime making stories come to life for other people she decided to make some of her own.

#WhatHappensInFrance by Carol E Wyer @carolewyer #BlogTour #BookReview @canelo_co

Welcome to my stop on Carol Wyer’s What Happens in France blog tour! 🙂

What Happens in France blog tour banner (Final)

Many thanks to Ellie Pilcher @ Canelo

My review…..

What Happens In France is a brilliantly written story which predominantly features Bryony Masters and her quest to find her sister, Hannah. Bryony has a blog and uses the usual social media, but nothing has worked, so far, so she aims to reach a wider audience for her search by applying for a brand new television game show. I thought this was a genius idea for a story and it works really well.

This might be a romantic comedy, but it has deeper storylines throughout. The guilt Bryony has carried around with her for years is heart-breaking. She didn’t have the easiest childhood and this shows in her character. She’s quite vulnerable and very likeable. I really felt for her. With her father being so poorly she is becoming increasingly desperate to find her sister as she believes time is running out to make everything right with their world again.

There are some fabulous characters in this story (The pug was one of my favourites!) and the actual game show process was brilliant. I didn’t think much of the host, but he made an interesting character all the same. If someone really gets on my nerves I know they have been written well! I loved the way Bryony and Lewis bounced off one another (for want of a better expression!). I was really hoping for Bryony to find happiness. Although she seems content with her career as an English teacher she obviously craves more out of life.

I did love the friendship between Bryony and Melinda. Some of their drunken nights in sound a bit like some of ours with our close friends! They obviously have that kind of relationship where they can be completely honest with each other also, which is lovely.

I will be more than happy to recommend this story. I have really enjoyed Carol Wyer’s writing style and totally expect to enjoy her other books (which are on my list!). This story has made me smile, laugh out loud at times and cry. It’s an excellent read!

Many thanks to the author and publisher for my review copy via Netgalley.

What happens in France cover width

Book Blurb:

She stood and took her place in front of the camera… It was now or never”

Bryony Masters has been looking for her long-lost sister, Hannah, for years, but when their father has a stroke her search takes on new urgency. So when primetime game show, What Happens in France, puts a call-out for new contestants, Bryony spots the ultimate public platform to find her reality TV-obsessed sister, and finally reunite their family.

With the help of handsome teammate Lewis, it’s not long before she’s on a private jet heading for the stunning beauty of rural France. With a social media star dog, a high maintenance quiz host and a cast of truly unique characters, Bryony and Lewis have their work cut out for them to stay on the show and in the public eye.

Yet as the audience grows and the grand prize beckons they find that the search that brought them together may just fulfil more than one heart’s wish…

This heartwarming romantic comedy of friendship, family and laugh-out-loud adventures is perfect for fans of Kirsty Greenwood, Colleen Coleman and Marian Keyes.

#CoverReveal #AmazingGrace by Kim Nash @KimTheBookworm with @rararesources

20190131_221401_0000.png

I am absolutely OVER THE MOON to be joining in with the cover reveal for the very lovely Kim Nash’s forthcoming release, Amazing Grace! 

I can’t wait to read this and I’m pretty sure you will all be clicking that pre-order link as soon as you’ve read the following and clapped your eyes on the stunning cover…..

Amazing Grace

She’s taking her life back, one step at a time…

Grace thought she had it all. Living in the beautiful village of Little Ollington, along with head teacher husband Mark and gorgeous son, Archie, she devoted herself to being the perfect mum and the perfect wife, her little family giving her everything she ever wanted.

Until that fateful day when she walked in on Mark kissing his secretary – and her perfect life fell apart.

Now she’s a single mum to Archie, trying to find her way in life and keep things together for his sake. Saturday nights consist of a Chinese takeaway eaten in front of the TV clad in greying pyjamas, and she can’t remember the last time she had a kiss from anyone aside from her dog, Becks…

Grace’s life needs a shake up – fast. So when gorgeous gardener Vinnie turns up on her doorstep, his twinkling eyes suggesting that he might be interested in more than just her conifers, she might just have found the answer to her prayers. But as Grace falls deeper for Vinnie, ten-year-old Archie fears that his mum finding love means she’ll never reconcile with the dad he loves.

So when ex-husband Mark begs her for another chance, telling her he’s changed from the man that broke her heart, Grace finds herself with an impossible dilemma. Should she take back Mark and reunite the family that Archie loves? Or risk it all for a new chance of happiness?

A funny, feel good romance about finding your own path and changing your life for the better – readers of Cathy Bramley, Jill Mansell and Josie Silver will love this uplifting read.

An Unconventional Affair Book 2, A Risk Worth Sharing

an unconventional affair cover

This second part of An Unconventional Affair finds Barrington Stone working in Australia for a year. Tranquility “Tee” Hammond, fifteen years his senior, has ended their affair, but for Barrington it was never over. He can’t wait for the year to pass to go back to her. However, after a drunken encounter, with a woman he later discovers is a sex worker, his life is changed forever. How can he possibly leave Australia, now that he has a daughter?

After accepting that Barrington won’t be coming back to the UK, Tee rekindles her relationship with the charming-yet-unconventional Sebastian Chandler, owner of a motorsports racetrack. Although living with Sebastian is “complicated” and life for the couple isn’t perfect, they are settled and Tee is happy.

But everything changes when Barrington returns. Tee’s heart is in turmoil, and Sebastian is afraid he will lose the woman he loves. As the plot thickens and twists unravel, Barrington must decide if there is one risk worth sharing.
