Book Review - Black Dog's Treasure - by Maureen Vincent-Northam

I bought this so that I could have something suitable to read to my daughter (who is 3 going on 5!) stored on my Kindle, whilst we are away over the Easter weekend. And what gem of an adventure story it turned out to be.

Book Review - Immortal Desires (Well of Souls) series - by Laura Eno

I have to be honest here. For some reason, when I bought this yesterday, I was expecting to read about more Vampire/Werewolf romance etc. How wrong could I be?

The story that unfolded was so much more than the usual 'Human/Immortal’ romance. Combining aspects of time travel, magic, folk lore, history and the supernatural, Laura Eno takes the reader on a journey from the present back to circa 1500's and the Scottish Highlands.

There is a certain depth and charm to the characters, and an intriguing plot, that compelled me to read from the beginning to the end in one sitting; I haven't done that in quite a while.

Give-a-way a great success! Thank you!

I've just checked my report stats for the period that Encounters was free to download and I'm chuffed to bits with the result.

Amazon.com (including India)  = 268
Amazon.co.uk                                = 228
Amazon.fr                                        = 001
Amazon.ca                                       = 001


That's a grand total of  498 downloads! By my reckoning, that's about 490 people I don't know, that now have an e-copy of my book... I think that's amazing.

Thank you everyone.

Look what Jack Frost left me...

Okay, okay! I'm the first to admit that I'm no David Bailey.

These were taken on my HTC about 20 minutes ago, when the sun was shining and the sky was an amazing colour of blue. In the time it's taken me to upload the images, and start preparing this post, the temperature has dropped to  minus 4 degrees and a heavy fog has decended!

It's hard to see from these pictures, due to the restrictions of the focus on the HTC phone, but even the branches and twigs on the larger trees are sporting frozen needles, just like those on the rose hips and spider's web.








Some of these crystalised spikes are between 2-3 cm in length!

They looked gorgeous in the sunlight.











And by contrast, these images were taken just 10 minutes later... how quickly the weather changed!
