Page-turning historical fiction from indie publishers with attitude
While revisions continue on my historical novel, I’ve been reading some fabulous fiction from small publishers. Publishers you might not discover unless you go looking for them, but all punching above their weight. In championing books they believe in, these small businesses often (like my current publisher, Inspired Quill) have a political edge. But their profit margins are minuscule and they nee

Exactly six months on from publication, I’m one happy author, delighted readers have warmed to this novel and particularly to Matty, the quirky main character. Readers smile at her alternative logic while raging at the injustice she has suffered. I’m

| Dreadful. I did feel sorry for the young women living in such empty lives but I expect even a Cinderella story to have a bit of jeopardy | |
"I guess it's good that dull Korean novels with boring, flat prose get translated too, so that we in the English-speaking world don't get the distorted idea that Korean publishing only produces literary geniuses."

| A dystopian novel without character or plot needs a credible setting, I think. But in this, like the narrator, we never get to know how or why the women are there. For me it works as an exercise in existentialism how we have to make meaning in a mean ...more | |

| Interesting to explore the alleyways of 17th-century Newcastle in the aftermath of a particularly cruel witchhunt. Meticulously researched but unfortunately, some of the tension was lost on me because I struggled to keep in mind the large cast of cha ...more | |

| Interesting exploration of New York trans culture in the early 21st-century with a tendency to sacrifice story in favour of explanation and analysis, sometimes becoming preachy. But glad I kept reading for the poignant conclusion. | |

| A fairy story about guilt, gorgeously written but, despite the real-life atrocities referenced, impossible to take as seriously as it seems to take itself. | |

| The novel held my interest despite the absence of both character and plot. I see how the chorus of wives suits the subject matter but nevertheless I think the second person plural is better suited to a short story or novella. | |

| Lovely coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the rise of fascism in Europe and its impact on the residents of a north-western city. I love the character of Rose: ambitious, artistic, intelligent and politically naïve. | |
“I write to tame and organise the thoughts that bubble in my head. I write for the part of me that’s inconsolable and don’t have the hands or the talent for painting, pottery or the piano. I write because it’s proven more effective than screaming to communicate my personal truths. I write because publication provides the perfect payback for a painful childhood and because I’m addicted to alliteration, a glutton for grammar and ruled by the rule of three. I continue writing to discover where my imagination will take me; because if I stopped, I’d no longer be me.”

“What I long for with a deep ache inside me is sacred music. I long for the Fauré Requiem, for the Haydn “Mass in Time of War,” for some pure celestial music that could lift me above myself, into that sphere where great art lives, beyond what man can be in himself, the intimation of the sacred—what cannot be dirtied or smudged by wickedness or by anger, which no threat can touch.”

“Old age is really a disguise that no one but the old themselves see through. I feel exactly as I always did, as young inside as when I was twenty-one, but the outward shell conceals the real me—sometimes even from itself—and betrays that person deep down inside, under wrinkles and liver spots and all the horrors of decay. I sometimes think that I feel things more intensely than I used to, not less. But I am so afraid of appearing ridiculous. People expect serenity of the old. That is the stereotype, the mask we are expected to put on. But”

“My anger, because I am old, is considered a sign of madness or senility. Is this not cruel? Are we to be deprived even of righteous anger? Is even irritability to be treated as a “symptom”? There”
