So, next week is the last before I have a few weeks off. I’ll be concentrating on my own writing, maybe reading a few of the TBR pile of books I’ve bought myself as a treat, and going to Theakston’s Old Peculiar Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate! Big, big, anxiety inducing, adventure.
However, before that it’s going to be busy on the blog. The second half of the week will be anyway.
11th July
My turn on the tour: a review Cover reveal for a YA/MG book
13th July
Another cover reveal
14th July
My turn on the tour, either a review or a promo post – depends on if the book turns up by Wednesday
Linden’s first novel, Divine Invention will be reviewed on Rosie Writes… on 3rd April 2019 and I am eagerly looking forward to reading and reviewing The Greenmen. But first, allow me to present to you, the cover:
Thread Of Hope Honesty is the best policy. Isn’t it?
What if your secrets are so dangerous they could destroy the one you love?
Prospero is prepared to tell Leonie most of his past – if he can find her – but one of his secrets could send her running again. Another could destroy any future they might have. And one could kill her. Dare he risk it?
Leonie is terrified of the consequences of sharing any of her past with anyone. But not even Leonie knows the secrets that her very existence contains.
Gabriel is starting to discover the secrets inherent in Leonie and they could tear the world apart. Who does he turn to, and who should he share them with? If he tells the wrong person he could seal not just Leonie’s death warrant but those of millions more.
And no one has told Leonie the mystery of her necklace. When she discovers that, will she sacrifice everything and risk all that Gabriel has been working for?
This morning I’d like to present the cover reveal for Rosie Green’s latest ‘Little Duck Pond Cafe’ novel. Thanks, as ever, to the marvellous Rachel Gilbey of Rachel’s Random Resources for organising the tour.
An abrupt change; a new friendship; a dark
secret…
Kind-hearted Violet has
never fitted in, but despite being bullied at school is now content. She is
dating ambitious Lenny, has her dream job in publishing and runs a
book club at the local retirement home.
However, when her relationship with Lenny
begins to falter, Violet, hurt and alone, seeks the advice of her new
flatmate, Bella. She changes her image and with her head held high
aims to show that she doesn’t need Lenny in her life to be happy and
successful.
Her long-term friends Mable and Farah worry
about Bella’s influence and slowly Violet starts to distance herself from them.
When she was a child, her closest confidant and companion was a boy called
Flint. Her mother didn’t approve of their closeness and he suffered a terrible
end. She won’t let the same thing happen to Bella, no matter what anyone
says…
Knowing You is about friendship and knowing
who to trust with your deepest secrets; it’s about taking control of your life
and not being afraid to stand out. Perfect for fans of Ruth Hogan, Gail
Honeyman and Amanda Prowse
Samantha Tonge lives in Manchester UK and her passion,
second to spending time with her husband and children, is writing. She studied
German and French at university and has worked abroad, including a stint at
Disneyland Paris. She has travelled widely.
When not writing she passes her days cycling, baking and
drinking coffee. Samantha has sold many dozens of short stories to women’s
magazines.
In 2013, she landed a publishing deal for romantic comedy
fiction with HQDigital at HarperCollins and in 2014, her bestselling debut
novel, Doubting Abbey, was shortlisted for the Festival of Romantic Fiction
best Ebook award. In 2015 her summer novel, Game of Scones, hit #5 in the UK
Kindle chart and won the Love Stories Awards Best Romantic Ebook category.
I know, it’s only been two days since my last cover reveal, and we’re still three months from Midwinter, but I had to bring you this one. The name alone made me do it.
Blurb
The biggest snowfall in years has blanketed Sunnybrook, cutting the village off from the outside world. For Fen, who finds herself snowed in at The Little Duck Pond Cafe, it’s little more than a minor inconvenience. Her love life is finally running smoothly; it looks as if she’s found the perfect man for her.
But then a shocking secret threatens to destroy Fen’s new-found happiness.
Will being snowed in be the final straw? Or will Fen find a way through the snowdrifts to the perfect love?
Rose is the mother of two young children, and finds herself living a robotic life with an abusive and controlling husband. While she struggles to maintain a calm front for the sake of her children, inside Rose is dying and trapped in ‘Isolation Junction’.
She runs an online business from home, because Darren won’t let her work outside the house. Through this, she meets other mums and finds courage to attend networking events, while Darren is at work, to promote her business.
It’s at one of these events that Rose meets Tim, a sympathetic, dark-haired stranger who unwittingly becomes an important part of her survival.
After years of emotional abuse, of doubting her future and losing all self-confidence, Rose takes a stand. Finding herself distraught, alone and helpless, Rose wonders how she’ll ever escape with her sanity and her children. With 100 reasons to leave and 1,000 reasons she can’t, will she be able to do it?
Will Tim help her? Will Rose find peace and the happiness she deserves? Can Rose break free from this spiralling life she so desperately wants to change?
