My debut book "Abandoned" made it to my local Waterstones and Heffers. The feeling of seeing it in a bookstore still feels sureal, like a far off dream I never expected to obtain. A beautful reminder for me to keep going with the things I love. Now on to the sequels!
If you're wondering I'm self-published and it's also available on amazon, kobo and other ebook stores.

So I’ve been working on my stories for a while and finally decided to share them. I would love to here your feedback.
I spent the summer finishing up a novel that I started more than twenty years ago. I’ve put it off that long because I knew one day I would be good enough to write it. I really think it’s the best work I’ve ever done. Below are the links to purchase. I’m already working on the audiobook, and positive reviews will help me land a quality narrator.
Best regards

I love our British humour - especially political/feminist/dark or just something you've love, why? what made you laugh? I need less serious books in life and something that makes me laugh!
Just avoid any happy families - traumatic one like the Irish tv show The dry - i'm all for!
Was gifted this book, and whilst it would never be something I’d pick up off the shelf for myself - such a great read. Couldn’t recommend enough.
Now desperate to read the second, but 5 weeks into the wait queue at the local library. Don’t want to complain as they do a great service, and I’m lucky to have a local place where I can rent the book for (almost, after paying 18p to join the reservation queue) free. That said, I am desperate to get my hands on the second one!
I was put off by the book initially because it looked very ‘gamer’ and, whilst it is, I am not a gamer by any means and I thought it was brilliant.
Just thought I’d share and, if anyone has similar series they’d like to suggest, please let me know in the comments.
I known it's kind of a gamble to buy any that arent brand new but im struggling to find some books i want and the prices are making it hard to resist, ive got about 30 in my basket and the price comes to £70 with free shipping, theyre all marked "very good" but I've seen some American influencers saying theyre way below quality expectations, wondering if theyre the same for the uk? I dont mind a bit of wear and tear but ive seen some with full on sharpie and missing pages
I really want a monthly book subscription but all the ones I find are either only fantasy or are book only.
I'd love a box with goodies but they seem exclusively fantasy books.
I don't dislike fantasy but i wouldn't only want fantasy books. Does anyone have any recommendations that also ship to belgium without crazy shipping costs?
If you were in charge, and trying to inspire a love of reading, which books would you pick?
I'm just curious. I loved reading as a child. I remember not really liking any of the books we had to read as a class though.
It got me thinking, what great books are out there that should be read in schools? I have a 12 year old. I would love to here people's suggestions.
I wonder if other people have the same issue as me. I ordered few orders last week and none of them arrived. In fact, when I check if they are sent properly, it seems like they have not been even sent.
Just a thank you to all who have followed the Instagram account @PhotoBookHaul sharing #photobbooks I’ve collected over the years and my other half’s comment ‘What? Another one!”
Latest: Fay Godwin’s trailblazing work on the British landscape and #righttoroam in the 1990s, •Our Forbidden Land”.
Looking forward to sharing more form the small library - and hopefully some swaps.
I’ve been lurking here for a while and this sub is basically an example why i built this, so i figured i’d share before it goes live.
Think about how many books you own that you read once and never touched again. Now think of how many people near you have the exact same shelf problem, books they’re done with just sitting there, while you’re off buying sth new. That’s just.. waste. Money spent, shelf space gone, and somewhere close to you someone else is buying the exact book you’d happily hand over for free.
So i built sth around this simple idea. Instead of buying books, swap them with people nearby. No money, no postage, no charity shop lottery. You post what you’re done with, you browse what’s nearby, you swap. The whole point is that books keep moving instead of gathering dust, and a community like this only works if enough people are dropping enough books into it. So the more people swapping, the better it gets for everyone.
It’s called Bonke, and it launches in the coming week. I’m not really chasing downloads at this point, I just want to find the first batch of people who actually want this to exist and get it right for them. If that’s you, I’d love to have you in early, and I’ll be in the comments if anyone has any questions, or wants to tell me why this won’t work.
My novel The Right Members Club is currently 99p on Kindle, and the Countdown Deal ends in about 3 hours.
It’s a British political comedy about a secret club of disgraced MPs who find themselves responsible for saving the country.

Think The Thick of It x Peep Show, with Westminster satire, awful political judgement, damaged egos and people who really should not be in charge of anything.
Since launching in April, it’s hit #1 in Political Humour and Comedy.
If that sounds like your sort of thing, it’s 99p for the next few hours.
