It's National Croissant Day! As if I needed an excuse... AND it's Friday! #nationalcroissantday
Happy New Year!
I hope 2026 brings you much creativity and enjoyment ๐
26 books read this year - not as many as previous years. May aim for 52 in 2026. 1 book a week sounds doable...
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
If you've been waiting for your next humorous fantasy audiobook, this is your sign to grab your copy of The Rose Thief!
Available everywhere: books2read.com/u/mBNNEN
I think The Rose Thief is full of little humorous snippets that just have you quietly sniggering now and then as you read/listen. It was never meant to be fully laugh-out-loud, more of a indulgent grin throughout vibe.

When I was recording The Rose Thief, I just could not pronounce "cavlacade"
My sound guy heard me say every which way you could under the sun and I still didn't get it right lol. He had to spell it out phonetically for me in the end.
Is there a word you struggle to pronounce?
I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has taken the time to review one of my books.
I don't think you realise how amazing it is for authors to get reviews from people we don't know. It means you saw our book and thought - yeah, alright then, I'll give this a go.
You're amazing โญ
What was the last audiobook that totally pulled you in?

The Rose Thief has a prologue of sorts - it's not long and it's not a round up of historical events - I tried to entice you to come on in and listen to my story...
The Rose Thief audiobook is now available from your favourite retailer: books2read.com/u/mBNNEN
The biggest challenge recording my humorous fantasy book The Rose Thief was building a homemade soundproof (ish) studio but I figured it out!
