about me

While I make up my mind about whether to upload something to this site, I am sampling some of the work on offer and reviewing/backing as I see fit. I review from the POV of a reader - someone who buys loads of books and reads them.
I particularly enjoy YA, supernatural themes (except for anything Twilight-y) and mysteries.
If I back your book, but make no comment, it is because whatever I would have said has already been mentioned. If you want me to comment on your book once I have backed it, please ask and I will do so.

****************************************************************
Since I have nothing uploaded, I am happy to support :

Zamorna by Tina Rath
The Duke of Bourne by J F Riding

If you back either of these lovely books let me know and I will read your book. Simple.

Hi Victoria. I saw this mentioned on the faux agent's thread. I've backed the book as I think you're off to a very good (and creepy) start. I'm looking forward to seeing more as it develops. view book

There are a handful of little typos or spelling oversights but the story is what I'm here for and I want more! Love the idea of the bodice-ripper author creating a new tourist buzz in the tribal area. and all that comes with the extra attention. And poor Jon just trying to do his job. More please! view book

Hi Ferret. I have read the updated first chapters and think you have planted some excellent but not distracting clues that things magical or supernatural are involved. The historical references flow well, and suit the style of the narrative. I am really enjoying Zamorna. And I know I keep saying thi... view book

Finally! The purpose of black pudding is revealed! Thanks for the new chapter Ferret. I'm really enjoying Zamorna and cannot wait to read the rest. I know it's a hard slog at the moment, but hang in there! Lots of exclamations! view book

Hi Shauna. I'm interested to see how Annie's character develops and how she handles the relationship with Puck and the use of his powers. I have to say I was taken aback by the Hitler reference and felt a bit uncomfortable as it seemed that Puck was making light of things. The snarky teenage tone se... view book
