Happy Birthday To Me



Wow; four years ago today I published my first ever romance novel:

I feel like celebrating today. Someone send me cake and Prosecco, pronto! 

My first book was a lovely romance (well, I would say that, wouldn't I?), but it really is.
Samantha was in a really bad marriage with an overly controlling man.
She struggles to set herself free and regain her self-confidence and independence.
There's some dating disasters along the way, as well as a trip to Tuscany along with some gelato.
Mmmm...birthday ice cream may also be on my menu today. 

Please feel free to check the link (from the book title at the start of this post). 
Buy, enjoy and review my book; a wonderful author's birthday present ;-)

Review - I Hate That You Bloody Left Me - a delightful farce


Date read: 23 May 2017

My rating: 5*

Genre I reckon: Farce, humour

Buy Link: Amazon




Firstly, sorry I've been quiet on here. I've been busy writing and not had much time for reading. But I managed to find the time for this little gem. And I'm very glad I did.

I was intrigued by this book when I saw it advertised.

I can only describe it as a farce (in the nice, theatrical sense).
Three widows in their later years join a group on fb. Little did they know they were all connected by one photograph.

The characters are well developed, and Fleur in particular is wonderfully whacky.
There's a wonderful adventure of misadventures as they seek answers to help them with their bereavement through a psychic medium.


We are taken to Islay in Scotland to enjoy some beautiful scenery (and tasty whisky) as well.

A very sad topic given a wonderful sense of humour which I found refreshing.

There's whimsy and frolics galore.

Definite recommend to a friend.
