Becoming a Published Author
I return this month with exciting news! I am so excited to announce that my first poetry collection is going to be published before Christmas this year! I joined Book Leaf publisher’s #thewriteangle challenge to write 21 poems in 21 days (though, you were able to use poems you wrote before the challenge), the result for completing the challenge is your book published and talking to publishers after for potential publishing deals. My collection is titled “The Lost Years” and really explores the themes of love, health, loss and death. It’s a culmination of a lot of my emotion surrounding my illness and was really cathartic to write a lot…

Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell
Talking to Strangers is the latest book out by Malcolm Gladwell, investigative journalist. This book examines the way we navigate the world in our attempts to make out strangers, who are they, do they pose any threat to me? Etc. It also examines the ways we fail to make sense of them. Gladwell breaks down the tragic story of Ms. Sandra Bland, and why being pulled over for a routine traffic stop, ended in her taking her own life three days later in a jail cell hundreds of miles from home.

The Lies We Tell by Niki MacKay
The Lies We Tell is the second Madison Attallee book by Niki MacKay. Niki has rapidly become one of my favourite crime thriller authors across her three novels so far due not only to great stories and some really clever twists but some brilliant pacing and the use of multiple character vantage points to create a world that doesn’t just lay flat on the pages, it springs into life in your head and, lucky for us, we are getting to access for a while.

Found Her by N. J. MacKay
Hi book worms! This is a full in depth review of Found Her by N. J MacKay spoilers and all, so do be careful reading if you don’t want the spoilers! I found Niki MacKay through a podcast that she is a co-host on with two other authors (Elle Croft and Victoria Selmen) called Crime Girl Gang that I adore. Found her is Niki’s third novel, the first two are based on the same lead character but Found Her takes a break from Madison Attalee to focus on Eve Moriarty.
