You may or may not be someone who enjoys setting writing goals, but I love them. I especially love reading back over them at the end of the year to see how I’ve done. My writing goals for 2019 are similar to those I set in 2018 but I hope to achieve some if not all of them.
Last week, I typed those long-awaited words – The End – on my current novel, Winterland. I’ve now put it away for a couple of weeks while I remove myself from its world and get ready for edits. To add a bit of colour to this post and break things up a little, here’s a pretend cover I created.
Today on my blog I’m delighted to bring you my review of The Queen’s Wing by Jessica Thorne. I was delighted to receive an advanced copy of this book from the publishers Bookouture via NetGalley. Below you’ll find the cover (which is stunning) and the blurb for the book followed by my review.
I bought this book after seeing the cover on my Facebook feed. I’m a big book cover fanatic and I just love abstract covers. This one is so beautiful and I’m so delighted to be able to say that the story matched it perfectly. This spooky, grim, story is dark and twisted with just the right amount of angst for a YA novel. Below is the cover and blurb followed by my review.
Today on my blog I’m delighted to introduce you all to a wonderful Irish writer and friend, Sharon Thompson. Sharon is widely known in the Irish writing scene and her first novel released in January this year with a bestseller tag. How amazing is that? Anyway, I’ll let Sharon tell you all about herself and her writing journey.
As a writer, you already know that the more you write, the better you get. Writing and reading should be an integral part of your life but what about writing courses. Are they worth it?

A Bowl of Irish Stew is a new anthology of stories written to bring hope and comfort to those grieving or suffering from mental health. This new initiative is the brainchild of Gary Rutherford and one I am honoured to be a part of. The book’s subtitle is “Stories Combined in a Meal for the Mind” and it’s perfect.

Today on my blog I’m delighted to be able to bring you my review of Fragments of Ash by Katy Regnery. This a modern fairytale romance based on the classic Cinderella story. I’m a big fan of these books and I love all fairytale retellings. I had this book on pre-order for quite some time so when it landed on my Kindle I devoured it over two nights and paid for it the next day as well. Below you will find the book cover and description, followed by my review.
