As an author, it’s only natural that I’m an avid reader, too. In being an author, I also understand the importance of book reviews and how they help fellow readers discover books they may enjoy. So, I’ve created this page to separate my writing-themed blog from my book reviews…

A few of the genres I enjoy reading most include science-fiction, fantasy, romantic comedy, historical fiction, women’s contemporary fiction, thriller, mystery (from cosy to paranormal), and short story collections. However, I love reading as a form of escapism, so my favourite reads are often a mash-up of multiple genres – especially when they include an element of comedy or a narrator with a great sense of humour that can keep me turning the page into the early hours!
