Book Review: “Ending In Cadence” by Catherine Dowden

Yet another indie read! I read and finished this one in a few days, while on holiday in Dorset with my family. I have to say, I’m not the quickest of readers but I finished two books while on that holiday and started on a third. I was having the best time. This one wasContinue reading “Book Review: “Ending In Cadence” by Catherine Dowden”

Book Review: “House Of Lies & Sorrow” by Emily Blackwood

This book was wonderful! I’ve been watching the author’s TikTok videos for a while now and I was intrigued by her cover and her little teaser snippets of the story. She made it clear that this book was an enemies to lovers (which I’m currently obsessed with!), with no spice but lots of tension. IfContinue reading “Book Review: “House Of Lies & Sorrow” by Emily Blackwood”

Book Review: From The Mouths Of Sirens by Abigail Hair

Yet another Booktok recommendation from a lovely indie author! She also designed the map for my book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book – I think it’s one of the best retellings I’ve read in a while. Do you love The Little Mermaid, and do you also love The Hunger Games? Because if you do, you’reContinue reading “Book Review: From The Mouths Of Sirens by Abigail Hair”

Book Review: The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E Schwab

This book was beautiful and heartbreaking all at once! It’s a wild ride, going back with a lot of flashbacks through history, but the way it’s told is beautifully done, and I really enjoyed it. (Even if it took me a while to read because it’s quite chunky.) I say through history, because our mainContinue reading “Book Review: The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E Schwab”

TikTok As A Marketing Tool For Authors

TikTok is great fun – it’s full of trending sounds that can make you laugh, stir emotion and more. But when you’re trying to relate videos to your own niche, it’s a brilliant resource. I’ve been using TikTok as a writer for over a year now, and I love finding great author and reader friendsContinue reading “TikTok As A Marketing Tool For Authors”

Book Review: Crier’s War by Nina Varela

Wow, what a brilliant ride this book was. I usually get a bit nervous when I read books with a similar concept to my own, but as soon as I started reading this, I was hooked. The world-building is quite hard to understand at first, I found, but when you have taken in the lengthyContinue reading “Book Review: Crier’s War by Nina Varela”

Holding Myself Accountable – New Content Schedules!

We all have to do it sometimes, right? I don’t know about you, but I find it very difficult to motivate myself to create content if I don’t have a schedule in my weekly planner. So this is what I’m going to be doing from now on. I have a book coming out in justContinue reading “Holding Myself Accountable – New Content Schedules!”

Writing & Publishing – The Indie Route & My Personal Experience So Far

Indie publishing is becoming a huge thing nowadays, but honestly, it was always something I swore against. I have spent years querying my various YA fantasy novels, and although I’ve had some lovely feedback from different industry professionals, it hasn’t worked out that way for me. I attended a YALC event with a writer friendContinue reading “Writing & Publishing – The Indie Route & My Personal Experience So Far”

Book Review: The High Mountain Court by A.K Mulford

It’s been a while since I posted on this blog. This year has been intense so far! I’m constantly busy with work, swamped with freelance editing projects, or working on my debut novel, Steel Princess. (More news to come on that one very soon!) I have read quite a few books so far this year,Continue reading “Book Review: The High Mountain Court by A.K Mulford”

Book Review: “Girl, Serpent, Thorn” by Melissa Bashardoust

I have to admit, the gorgeous cover for this book was what gripped me and made me pick it up. (I suppose that’s what the cover is meant to do though, right?) But the immersive world-building, fast-paced plot and badass main character was what kept me in the book and made me want to keepContinue reading “Book Review: “Girl, Serpent, Thorn” by Melissa Bashardoust”
