MY BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022
MY BOOK OF THE YEAR FOR 2022 This book made me laugh out loud, relatable if you have tried online dating. Well written so that once you start you cannot put this book down, I loved it. Please read my review at https://karensworld.uk/breakfast-at-stephanies-by-beth-thomas-book-review Available on Amazon here. 44 BOOKS READ IN 2022 A very mixed year for me, but I must have done more as I only read 44 books which is down on the last couple of years. More holidays and outings with friends were highlights and such fun, it looks like there will be more next year as…

HYTHE FESTIVAL I popped over to Hythe yesterday which is only about five minutes from Folkestone in the car, traffic was minimal and parking was ok. On the green, in the middle of the one-way system they were holding the festival and my writing group Write By The Sea had a few tables where members were selling their books plus we had use of the marquee for some readings. It was great to see some of the stories from our two anthologies coming to life on the stage. The festival was buzzing with many people meandering around the stalls,…
View PostSUNNY SEPTEMBER
As August was a washout it was a pleasant surprise that the sun has been shining this month, long may it continue but the nasty weatherman keeps saying it is going to rain next week! I always think it is good when we have a bit of sun during September/October as it feels like winter will be a shorter season. THE FOUNTAINS We have the fountains in Folkestone so to make the most of the sunshine we took the children down there after school, they could really play for hours running in and out and collecting the water. Even Enzo…

PUBLISHED BY THE CONRAD PRESS ON 1st JULY 2021 ‘The Write Way to Die’ is a fast-paced and intriguing blackly comic tale of murder in the creative quarter of a seaside town where the bodies are mounting up amongst the art installations. When Amy joins a writing group, it’s murder. On paper, at least, as the eclectic members pen their perfect killings. The planner, the housewife, the pantser and the classicist all contribute their stories, some darkly comic, others simply gruesome. Then there’s Robert, who wants to write a killer worthy of a nickname. Enter The Exhibitionist, the stuff of…

THE WRITE WAY TO DIE BY JO BAVINGTON-JONES I was so pleased when Jo gave me a copy of her new book to read as I had read a couple of reviews about it and it sounded really good. I started my copy a few days ago and I cannot put it down and I do believe I have a mention in it although Jo hasn’t put my name. What a unique way of writing a book and one I have not seen before, Jo is a very talented author plus a super person. This could very easily be my…
