I thought it was time to try something a little different and ask for beta readers for my novella series. I had a dear writer friend read it for me years ago and I put it aside to focus on my Servant of the Gods series. I’ve since finished the draft for the third book…
A month ago, I posted a survey as I wanted to gauge reader interests and buying preferences platforms. I like to run a survey every few years just to learn whether trends in the book publishing market affect the way readers purchase books and what they like to read. Here are the results, some of…

I believe love for reading begins when we are children, but it doesn’t happen on its own accord. When parents spend time reading stories to their children and instill a love for books from…
I am glad to see the back end of 2015 although 2016 has started in the same vein but I will not dwell on it. To get things moving on my blog this year (I will get back to the series on the Minoans, promise!) I’d be grateful if people would spend a few minutes…
I must admit to being surprised and at the same time pleased by the results of my poll on Where entertainment and historical fact mix. There was a good range of votes and definite responses to the questions. Given the comments on earlier posts: The (uneasy?) marriage between fact and fiction and Entertainment over historical accuracy, I was expecting…
Apologies for my absence, it has been a busy August, not to say the previous months weren’t. I am sure it is the same for you too. Technology has its advantages, and I do appreciate it uses, but boy has it created more work.
