Cappuccinos & Curiosity (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It would appear I accidentally started a novel this morning. (Well, ‘this morning’ at the time of writing this post.)Last year, a friend gave me a prompt to work off for a flash fiction piece. I started writing the piece then and then didn’t come back to it until… this morning. As it happens, I now have an idea for a novel based on this snippet. I needed a blog post for today, so I thought I’d see what you all make of this, as it’s a totally different genre to my normal writing.Let me know any t

Book Review: That Was Then, This Is Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey everybody!As most of you probably know, back in April, I did a book review of The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.That book immediately earned a place on my favourite books list, and when I heard there was a second book that was partly aligned with The Outsiders, I knew I had to read it.
