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”

If you have been following this blog at all lately, you will probably have seen me mention my upcoming debut novel. The whole process of self-publishing has been a year in the running, and now it’s finally happening and it feels amazing to be able to tell you. It’s slowly starting to feel more realContinue reading “Big News For My Upcoming Debut Novel Steel Princess!”
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”
Working On Multiple Projects At Once: Drafting Book 2 & Planning A Rewrite For An Old Project
This isn’t how I usually like to do things, but strangely I’m loving the process this time. Even when I studied Creative Writing at university and we had to deliver multiple creative pieces within a short time frame, I struggled with handling more than one at a time. I think I’m coming to realise thatContinue reading “Working On Multiple Projects At Once: Drafting Book 2 & Planning A Rewrite For An Old Project”
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”
