I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are ready for the turkey curry, turkey sandwiches, and left over nibbles before normality resumes.
When we feel we can’t eat another thing, our minds turn to those not so fortunate, who don’t know when their next meal might be. As a change from my short stories, today’s blog will be a suggestion for books you might enjoy, and a way of supporting charity and perhaps, authors new to you.
First up is ‘When Stars will Shine,‘ an anthology of short stories with a Christmas theme. All royalties go to the charity ‘Help for Heroes,’ and it’s a fantastic collection covering various genres, and featuring a range of authors.

Summer Changes, Winter Tears,
Next, I’d like to mention my own book, Summer Changes, Winter Tears,’ which although only recently released has been neglected whilst I’ve been concentrating on the anthology.
As the title suggests, this is a Summer romance which switches to the winter of everyday life.

Murder Durnovaria
Fancy a bit of ancient Roman Britain? Historically accurate, humorous and intriguing. I’ve read this one and would highly recommend.

Perhaps a touch of romance/contemporary fiction is more to your taste.

If you’ve enjoyed browsing this small selection of books, I’d love to hear your comments. Please consider leaving a review for any you have read – they really are important to authors. Thanks for all your support during 2019. Over the coming months I will be trying out some new ideas for the site, so suggestions are always welcome.
All that’s left for me to do is wish all a very Happy New Year 2020.
