It’s Father’s Day on June 21st, so I thought I’d share some books that feature fathers or father figures in some way.

There’s quite a variety here, and the one thing they have in common (apart from the theme, obviously) is that I enjoyed each and every one of them.

I hope you enjoy reading about them, and hopefully you’ll find something you’d like to try for yourself.

Now that the controversy has died down a bit and it’s all gone quiet on the “Wuthering Heights” debate, I thought I’d finally watch it for myself and make up my own mind.

Here’s what I thought of the 2026 film version of Emily Bronte’s classic.

Are you a Kindle Unlimited subscriber? Are you guilty of downloading KU books then forgetting all about them? I am, so I decided it was time to start working my way through them!

Today I’m talking to indie author Imogen Payne about her favourite childhood book, which of her own books she’s most fond of, and which book she would love to have written.

I love a British small-town romance and I love to support indie authors. Having written twenty-seven indie books of my own I know how hard it can be to publish books without a publisher to guide and market you. If you love a small-town romance series, here are six indie authors whose books I think you should definitely check out.

Having raved about the television adaptation of The Other Bennet Sister recently, I finally settled down to read the book. Here are my thoughts on the book version versus the television version, and whether I loved one more than the other.

When you set out on your writing journey the road ahead can be a long and difficult one. That’s why you should never walk it alone. Here are just some of the people who helped me along the way as I went from a book loving child to a professional author.

This week I’m chatting to another author friend, K.T. Dady, who also writes romantasy as Kate Dady. She tells me about her favourite childhood book (which I’d never heard of!) and which one of her own books has a special place in her heart.

Sometimes, the only thing to do is settle back and lose yourself in a world where your biggest worry is remembering not to accept two dances with a gentleman, or whether you should risk sucking the juice from an orange in company or take it discreetly to your room. I’ve been bingeing on period dramas, and I’ve loved it!

How my Tuppenny Bridge series came to be, and what went on before I started it, while I was writing it, and after I’d finished it…

I spent some of my Easter weekend watching The Other Bennet Sister - a literary offshoot of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice based on the novel by Janice Hadlow. Here's what I thought of it, and why I suddenly relate to the Bennet sibling I once overlooked entirely.

I’m delighted to welcome my latest guest on the Let’s Talk Books feature. This week it’s the turn of Jessica Redland, multi-million selling author with Boldwood Books, mother-of-hedgehogs, and expert Sprocker-wrangler! Jessica tells us all about her reading habits and why she’s so reluctant to revisit her favourite books.

Adam Ant, Bananarama, and a ghostly gig! Welcome back to Rowan Vale, the living history village in the Cotswolds, where life isn’t only for the living.

Tomorrow is the Spring Equinox, so it seemed like the perfect time to discuss some of the most appropriate books to read at this time of year. Here are six of my favourites.

As it’s almost Mother’s Day here in the UK, I thought I’d choose some books about mothers. So here are six books, including a collection of short stories, a romcom, and much-loved classics, plus a few of my own books where motherhood is strongly featured.

In the first of my new Let’s Talk Books interviews, I’m chatting to romance author Eliza J Scott about her favourite books, the TV adaptation she most enjoys, and the most precious book she owns, plus lots more.

It took me a while but I finally got round to reading Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell. Then I watched the film. Here are my thoughts on both.

When I get interested in something, I really get interested! My collections become an obsession, but the problem is they don’t last. So what’s my latest obsession? And how do I cut the cravings?

I ignored January 1st. My new year starts in March, and I’ve decided things are going to be different from now on!

I’ve always been a bookworm, but I really believe if I hadn’t been I would never have become a writer. A post to celebrate National Year of Reading.
