New On My Shelf This Week

Two new books this week, both from the same publisher, ‘Head Of Zeus’, but managed and promoted by separate communications representatives – Clare Gordon and Blake Brooks respectively.

I have been invited to participate in separate Blog Tours for each book, during April and whilst I hope to secure Guest Posts from both authors, if this is not possible then short extracts will be provided as introductions to the stories.

Before long, Caitlin has settled into her idyllic new home.

I can’t remember a time, even as a child, when I haven’t been passionate about books and reading.
I began blogging, when I realised just how many other people out there shared my passion for the written word and I have been continually amazed at the wealth of books that are available and the amount of great new friends I have made, from literally 'The Four Corners Of The World'.
