I hope everyone had a great break at the end of last year, and that all the positive energy typically seen around a new year translates to better years for everyone. I had a break from my day job over our summer, allowing me time to  reflect on the year ahead and spend more time…

It’s been a couple of weeks now since launch day. I’m still coming to terms with now having my debut novel published, being read and my first review came in yesterday. Getting reviews of the book from people you don’t know makes all the difference. It’s the reason I want to write, to share my…
