Ray Bradbury said, “You don’t have to […]

| A well constructed narrative with many red herrings and an unexpected twisted ending. The use of texts between characters in teen speak added to the propulsion of the story as Amelia is drawn into a world of harrasment. Added to the drama is her moth ...more | |

Some delightful twists in this chicklit novel, with a villian whose coercion of the main protagonist has unexcepted consequences. I loved the setting and backstory with wonderful secondary characters, who enhanced the narrative. An easy read. |

| A great who dun it - with twists and turns and increasing tension. A detective under scrutiny for past behaviour, a want to be famous writer holding secrets and a killer with a deep loathing of self and love for another. | |

There is a quiet background delight in the setting of this novel, while the forefront is a complicated realm of tension as the characters hold tight to their secrets. A great beach read or cozy winter's night at the fire. ...more |

| This was a real rollercoaster ride of tension, possibilities and glimpses of the characters past and present. I did not guess the culprit and that made the ending so impactful. A beautifully crafted narrative. Highly recommend. | |

What a delightful mixture of reality, mystery and fantasy. This story has it all - history, relationships, heartache, love and a touch of magic. Generations intermingle as their individual pasts collide and reveal lives lived. Highly recommended. |

"This story completely captured me from the first page. Owena is a remarkable heroine, clever, courageous, and fiercely determined, and watching her grow into her role as both strategist and warrior is thrilling. Her skills in swordsmanship and leader"

“Good description is a learned skill, one of the prime reasons why you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It’s not just a question of how-to, you see; it’s also a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing.”
