On Critique and Improving Your Writing

Critique, the word that strikes dread in the heart of many writers. I get it, honestly, I do. The racing pulse, the nervous sweating, the counting to ten, or more, before you open the message or email. Critique is scary, but it is also the key to improving your writing.

Book Review: The Ruin by Dervla McTiernan

The Ruin by Derval McTiernan is a thriller set in Ireland and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. Below you’ll find the book’s description followed by my review. This is my fourth thriller to read this year and I have to admit I’m enjoying the genre. It’s nice to switch things up every now and then, although I know I will be diving back into some paranormal and fantasy very soon.

Book Review: Anna Undreaming by Thomas Welsh

Anna Undreaming by Thomas Welsh releases today and I am delighted to be able to finally bring you my review. I read this book a couple of months ago after the author approached me and asked me to review it and write a small blurb too. I wrote two small blurbs for the publishers to choose from. Thomas’ book is the third book I’ve read, published by Owl Hollow Press and I have to say I loved it. Another must-read added to my book list. You can read my review and blurbs below.
