Guest Post: Q&A with  Edward Cox, author of The Relic Guild

Today I am delighted to welcome Edward Cox, author of The Relic Guild on my blog today. I’m currently devouring The Relic Guild and have to say it is fantastic! Below is a Q&A with Edward Cox.   Q&A with Edward Cox: Tell us a bit about yourself / the book. I’m a husband and father and a geek. I’m vaguely confused about most things, especially technology, and I have a big love for stories. As for the book, it’s a fantasy adventure filled with magic, monsters and mayhem. I actually find this a difficult question to answer, so I’ve been working on a pitch. I’m currently down to this: At the heart of a labyrinth, in a city surrounded by walls a hundred feet high, Clara knows that an age-old menace has returned to her home. Only the last magickers of the Relic Guild can help Clara save the lives of one million humans. Together they must find a way to contact the lost worlds that lay outside the boundary walls. What / who do you get your influences from? From anything […]

Guest Post: ‘A Spoiler-free Introduction to The String Diaries Sequel’ by Stephen Lloyd Jones, author of The String Diaries

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The String Diaries by Stephen Lloyd Jones. And to entice you I have a Spoiler-free introduction to The String Diaries Sequel. Promise! I loved reading The String Diaries (see my review) and I cannot  recommend it enough! Don’t forget to visit other blog stops along the tour for other great content. Below Stephen explains what to expect of book two in the series which is out later this year! This article, perhaps miraculously, remains spoiler free, the story of The String Diaries and its sequel await your reading pleasure. With the paperback edition of The String Diaries only launching this summer – it may be out by the time you read this – I’m going to assume that you haven’t read it yet. (Please do, though. I’ll be enormously grateful.) That said, how do you write a teaser for a sequel, while avoiding spoilers? If I tell you anything about the characters who appear in the new book, you’ll know that they must have survived the last one. If I tell you much at all, in […]

Guest Post: ‘The Ten Best Books About Libraries’ by Deborah Harkness, author of The Book of Life, The All Souls Trilogy

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Book of Life by Deborah Harkness with a post about the Ten Best Books about Libraries. Deborah is an author I discovered this year, and it is thanks to book blogging that I was able to read her books – A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night and the epic conclusion in the trilogy The Book of Life. The All Souls Trilogy has become one of my favourite trilogy – it appeals to my love of the historical and reminds me why I love libraries so much. Below, Deborah share her thoughts on the Ten Best Books about Libraries.   In each of these novels, a library plays a starring role. Some are places of wonder and delight. Others provide a venue for solving problems, or are the scene of a crime. And in a few cases the libraries in question are far from ordinary. Alan Bennett, The Uncommon Reader. A delightful tale about what might happen if the Queen turned to her library for solace and inspiration. A. S. Byatt, Possession. Academic […]

Guest Post: Q&A with Anna Caltabianco, author of The Seventh Miss Hatfield

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for The Seventh Miss Hatfield by Anna Caltabiano. And today I have a Q&A with Anna Caltabiano. I enjoyed reading The Seventh Miss Hatfield (see my review), the debut novel of seventeen year old Anna Caltabiano and I look forward to future novels by Anna as she progresses. Don’t forget to visit other blog stops along the tour for other great content. Q&A with Anna Caltabiano: Tell us a bit about yourself and your book – The Seventh Miss Hatfield 🙂 I was born in colonial Hong Kong to a Japanese mother and an Italian-American father, before moving to Silicon Valley in California. Due to this, Japanese was my first language. I now live in a multi-national tech culture, which probably influences my writing more than I know. The Seventh Miss Hatfield explores a series of firsts–first love, first loss, and the first realization that memories are fragile. When a drop from the Fountain of Youth turns 11 year-old Cynthia immortal, she is forced to take on a new identity as Miss Rebecca Hatfield—the seventh Miss […]

Guest Post: ‘My top 5 shopping spots in London’ from Nicola Doherty, author of If I Could Turn Back Time

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for If I Could Turn Back Time by Nicola Doherty. And as part of it Nicola is going to share her Top 5 Shopping Spots in London. I loved reading If I Could Turn Back Time (see my review) and highly recommend it for all you Chick-lit fans out there! Don’t forget to visit other blog stops along the tour for other great content. Below Nicola shares her top 5 shopping spots in London. My top 5 shopping spots in London None of these are clothes shops. This is partly because you don’t need to know about my favourite clothes shops which are the same as loads of other people’s (Whistles, Mango, Ted Baker, Gap) and partly because these days I often prefer to shop online, at Atterley Road, Shopbop and Asos. I also love Nougat: terrible website, great knitwear and dresses. I find clothes shopping stressful at times: I get confused between liking the top and thinking I should like it because the assistant was nice and says it suits me and […]
