Hello and welcome to my Goodreads page. I’m the author of three contemporary romance books which began as drafts on Wattpad.

Following the positive response from Wattpad readers, over 700K hits and 1300 followers, I’m excited to report that my first book in The London Series entitled London Red was officially published in January 2015. These books are stand-alone, the central theme of each book is the setting - London.
The second book, London with Love, was published in July 2016. And now my third in June 2018, London Love Story.

Thank you to everyone on Goodreads for your support and I’ll keep you updated on my progress via my social media page below:

Hi Zhana,
I've read your profile - interesting. Beta readers are a vital step in the publishing process. Form a strategy to get (maybe) 20 betas to agree to read your manuscript. About half will actually read your story and reply. Goodreads, I think, have a system to put you onto a thread but it takes months to get onto this. I suggest you join a lot more Goodreads clubs, take part in the threads and message those readers who might be willing to beta read. Not everyone will be willing because your story might be of no interest to them or they may be too busy. It takes time. (less)

I know quite a bit about the history of the Second World War so I give full marks for The Nightingale. The book draws you into the situation in occupied France where many women bravely risked their lives in the Resistance. You cannot fail to be moved ...more
