about me

I first joined this site in 2008 as a college tutor. I was in my twenties, had lots of time on my hands and wrote frequently although I had little discipline.
4 years on, I have two toddlers at home, work freelance as a trainer and yet somehow write far more now than I ever did! Obviously I work better under pressure!

Just so you know, I intend to review quite a bit and the books on my shelf will most likely change to reflect this. Please don't worry if your book disappears from my shelf, I just want to get as many great writers noticed as possible.

favourite books

The Legacy by Katherine Webb
Anything by Stephen King
Jodi Picoult novels
To be honest, I would happily read anything; so long as the blurb struck a chord with me.

Song of the Siren

Sarah Ribbons

Sometimes the past is best left alone. Michael had believed this but now his marriage and his whole live depends on uprooting old secrets.


When Michael moves back to his family home he's hoping to rescue his marriage to beautiful yet emotionally fragile Jenna, but Michael has his own issues to deal. Moving back home brings his past back to the forefront along with some new, uninvited problems. Who is Sabina; his mysterious neighbour, why is he so drawn to her, and how is she linked to his past? How will he heal his marriage when he can hardly heal himself?

 

Fragments of Lily

Sarah Ribbons

Can Lily find love again despite her physical and mental flaws, and tcan she overcome the secret which haunts her. Includes next three chapters.


Lily lives in a small coastal village at risk from the encroaching tide. She has created a facade to live behind since the death of her partner in a fire, a fire which also took away her looks. When an writer comes to research the area for a book he is writing Lily finds herself forced into working with him. Despite her frustrations and barriers, she finds herself drawn towards him and her life begins to turn around. The only problem is that Lily has a secret regarding her past and her partner that she has been trying to keep for a long time. If her new love gets close to her, won't he get too close to the truth?

I read the first three chapters and never felt any confusion. It felt very natural. If I had any criticism then it's just to watch some of your longer sentences, such as the first one. I would probably make this into two sentences to make it easier to read. The same applies to the part where Mag... view book

Hi, reviewing as promised. Loved the central character, you write really well. I found it hard to put down and would have read more had there been any.

'Going to California' is one of my favourite Led Zepplin tracks, I was pleased you used it. You have some really interesting ideas going here. You write poetically and the use of language is very beautiful. Well done on a thought provoking and unique piece of work. Rated. I am due to renew the ... view book

Hi, reviewing as promised. Good start, chapter one ended on a nice hook. I wanted ot know what her mum had been up to, she sounds like hard work. In chapter 2 I assumed it was written from Sky's point of view but in the second paragraph, you wrote that Sky shouted back at her? Got a bit confused... view book
