About the author
Sarah Michelle Lynch
92 books228 followersSome readers run at Sarah with hugs and kisses, while others shoot daggers at her for killing their favourite character off. Sarah can only apologise and say, "The story made me do it..."
Sarah Michelle Lynch is a former journalist who wrote a trilogy of science fiction novels while on maternity leave. In 2012 she took a deep breath and published the "Ravage Trilogy" which was later re-edited and became the UNITY novels. Sarah is lucky that some readers have been with her since the very beginning and have read all the different books she’s written.
It quickly became clear from reader response that Sarah has a flair for penning erotic scenes and so, Sarah took inspiration from real-life people around her and wrote "A Fine Profession", a compelling and compassionate read. At book signings readers often confess in a whisper that they’ve read this book – Sarah’s first erotic novel – and sometimes, readers have even admitted it’s their personal favourite.
Sarah loves nothing more than to put her feet up with a book and be consumed by a story, so in turn, she endeavours to give you all this and more.

This small collection of poetry was brought together to raise money for homeless charities. Each poem is completely unique, whether long or short they are written from the heart.
A lovely collection.

This book was amazing! What caught my eye was that it was an anthology of poetry using the cover art as a prompt. And then, for charity! And the charity was homelessness! Wow!
There are a number of poems here that floored me. There are also some rather bleak drawings. However, there is one poem that I’ve return to repeatedly called “The Longest Road” by T.F.Webb:
“I walked the longest road
In rainy days and shadows
And misery paved the way
Drowning under grey cascades
Wading through tattered blooms
I dragged shredded feet
To the endless dirge of carrion caws
A bag of bones
Tinged green and aching
Silent and alone.”
Having worked in shelters in my career, I could just picture “D” or “J” working as a day laborer, trying to get beyond that financial fence that lay between them and more permanent housing, and I weep too.
Thank you Sarah Michelle Lynch for the courage to solicit these poems to help others. Highly recommended 5/5
