Readers, writers… and riders :) October 16, 2020
One of the funny things about writing a book is the way you lose control of it, once you put it out there. When you’re sitting writing, it’s all your own world, to move in any way you please (although it often doesn’t feel like that, as the characters seem to develop their own free […]

Writer’s London by Carrie Kania and Alan Oliver May 24, 2020
I’ve been lucky enough to have been sent a copy of Writer’s London by Carrie Kania and Alan Oliver, and what a pleasure it’s been leafing through it during lockdown.

Meet the author – Catherine Fearns March 23, 2020
Sometimes a book comes along that you didn’t quite know you had to read – until you did. Catherine Fearns’ Reprobation was like that for me, a heady mix of Heavy Metal, religious symbolism, romance and, always an essential, a good whodunit-style mystery underpinning everything else. Luckily for you, Catherine now has a series of […]
