Prepare for Christmas with New Christmas Reads!

I’m secretly posting this Christmas-related blog as I’m breaking our “house rules”. If Mr Wonderful had his way, I wouldn’t press Publish until November 29th! But waiting six weeks to share about these new Christmas releases seems too long a wait. If I can give you extra time to plan your Christmas reading, even better! […]

The One and Only Susie May

It was my first in-person conference with local Christian authors, so I enjoyed meeting writers I had only connected with at our online meetings.

Sons of Scandal

I’ve been reading Becky Wade’s emotional Christian romances since I stumbled across her e-books after reconnecting with fiction 6 years ago (once I had devoured everything Julie Lessman had published at that point! 😂). Ms Wade’s stories are moreish, with a permeating love for God, so I was thrilled when I recently qualified for an […]
