Hi everyone. I hope you are all doing well, despite the world around us going somewhat downhill.
It seems to me the perfect time to lose ourselves in books. I am reading a writer friend's book right now, which is set in Australia. It's by Jill Barry, who is very prolific. Wonderful to escape down under😍
Today's fabulous news is that 'A Match Made in Heaven' is now available on Amazon Kindle (£2.49) and Kindle Unlimited under the publisher Rywood Books. I'm obviously thrilled.
Some more good news is that I signed with Ulverscroft last week, so 'A Match...' will also be in libraries in large print format on July 1st 2026. This will be the Pocket Novel version that came out under the publisher D C Thomson.
I'll update when it is available in paperback on Amazon too.
I have a Valentine's Day story in The People's Friend weekly magazine next week and will add that when it's out. In the meantime, I'm really looking forward to seeing 'Wuthering Heights' at the cinema next week. I saw 'Is This Thing On?' on Tuesday...the movie based on John Bishop's marriage...which was excellent. Surprising that they didn't use 'John' as the main character but used a fictional character instead, but perhaps the American audience isn't that aware of him?
Bearing in mind all the happenings across the pond, I decided to have a bash at listening to the 'The Handmaids Tale' on audiobook. I only started it today on a dog walk so it'll be a while before I get through the first book. This was initiated by listening to Margaret Atwood on Desert Island Discs.
A week ago, I was down The Bull in Ilchester listening to Grey Wolves, a local(ish) band. They did a set in our garden for my 60th birthday party in the summer and were amazing. It was a great night and I got home very late/early😬.
I hope you are all OK out there. Let me know any book recommendations in the comments. I love hearing what people are reading.

Thanks, Julie. You are busy as bee always. I’ll have to look up the housemaids tale. Book on audio my sister Karon said they’re very good and I missed the film in the cinema so let’s hope it comes out on sky or Netflix etc ??or something. I’ve got prime as well. Look forward to your next blog Annette. 💋
ReplyDeleteThanks Annette. My to-do list today is ridiculous lol. I love listening to books on audio as I can get on with boring things like cleaning etc, or even in the shower haha.
