August 11th would have been Enid Blyton’s birthday. Today I pay tribute to this remarkable writer and look at how her books influenced my own without me even realising it.

I couldn’t let Yorkshire Day go by without showcasing some fantastic books that utilise the varied and stunning landscape of the White Rose County. I’ve chosen eighteen books that I think represent Yorkshire literature beautifully. And I’ve tried to represent the different ridings of Yorkshire, too - East, West, and North. Happy reading!

In the final post in my ‘Let’s Talk Books’ feature I’m chatting to Sarah Hope about her favourite books, her earliest book memory, and the book-to-film adaptation that’s completely won her heart.

If, like me, you enjoy reading books about books or about writers then here are twelve novels I think you’ll really enjoy. Ranging from classic literature to cosy crime to non-fiction and more, these are stories that I think will appeal to all lovers of books.

Ten books that are either on my summer wish list, or which I’ve already read and highly recommend. A good mix and hopefully something to suit everyone.

Today on the blog I’m chatting to my fabulous friend, Helen Phifer, about her favourite books and why there’s one special book she’ll treasure forever.

Today is publication day for the second in my Kelsea Sands series, set in a remote village on the Holderness coast in the East Riding of Yorkshire. I’m so delighted to be sharing Jenna and Sam’s story with you at last.

Welcome back to Kelsea Sands - where tired hearts go to heal.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The books I read during December 2025. What a wonderful selection to finish my year’s reading. Nostalgia, humour, Christmas, and good old-fashioned murder!
