I Can't Sleep- J.E Rowney -Psychological thriller
“I can’t sleep.Not since June 16th, 2018.Not since what happened…”

Becky  is at university. She can’t sleep, not since what happened- something she really
doesn’t want to talk to anyone about. She has seen a counsellor and after a year
managed to tell a little about it. She now has to see her GP here as it appears either
her mind is playing tricks on her or someone is. Various odd things are happening
including silent calls. Worse is that someone is getting into her flat at night. Is she
imagining it or is someone taunting her? I took to Becky and her situation. Anyone
who has suffered anxiety or insomnia (or other mental health issues) knows only too
well the infinite power of the mind and how sometimes you are not always sure what
is real and what is imagined. This is written in a captivating but sensitive way. There is
that sense of unease, we don’t know Becky’s whole story and there is that sense of
something you can’t quite put your finger on- the mark to me of a good writer that
draws you in, keeping your appetite whetted with little tasters whilst masking the
whole menu. A new author to me and one to look out for.

I spent several years living in the cold Yorkshire hills, which brings the flavour of the moorland countryside into my work. I now live in Dorset, and the sun and sea are slowly creeping in as influences.
I am an award winning poet, and also enjoy writing short stories. "Charcoal", my first novel, was published in 2012 to wide critical acclaim, and was a bestselling novel on Amazon within days of release. My latest novel, “Ghosted” was released in January 2020. 
I have also written three poetry collections, "Desire Lines" and "How the Heart Behaves", and “Relationshipwrecks”, along with a haiku collection, “five seven five”.
”I always dreamed of being a writer, until I realised that I was. Then I started to write."

Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud- Cafe- Richard Dee-  4* Andi has landed on a mining station a week away from Mars. She takes on the “ucky strike cafe” (the “L” fell off) - its previous owner having disappeared leaving outstanding debts. Her business partner Cy is right behind her. Much to her surprise they find the previous guy in the freezer - in a body bag. Being on a different planet means there are rules about refuse and hence they decide to leave him there having little choice in the matter. Andi wants to find out more about a secret book that he had and who murdered him. This is a wonderful, lighthearted read to make you smile. Characters that are well portrayed and you take to easily. Descriptions are vivid and you can easily picture “the planet” in your minds eye. An excellent plot line with a little humour and even romance along the way. A highly enjoyable read.

  More Life as a Dog by LA Davenport- memoirs/humour This is the second in the series (both happily stand alone) about Kevin the dachshund, the “meat seeking missile” and his adventures with his human. Human has a new girlfriend and it’s a nervous time when Kevin is taken to be introduced to her dog. Will he behave or let them both down? This is written in the first person from the humans point of view and tells of outings they have such as a trip back to London after a day out,  but turned into an adventure due to running out of petrol. From meeting Amy Winehouse to poor Kevin being kicked there are the highs and lows of their lives. This is a fun,  light hearted read especially for any dog lover.  Although told from the human perspective, it's told with Kevin at the heart of things. It's heart-warming, it's very touching and also that for some of us, we have overcome much due to having that canine companion at our side. A short, beautiful read. One for over a coffee or t

Holmes, Marple and Poe by James Patterson

  Holmes, Marple and Poe by James Patterson-mystery thriller Oh wow! A book I wanted to devour in one helping but didn't want it to end. Holmes, Marple and Poe are PI’s and have just started their own agency together. Each one has particular talents although all are highly attuned to finding out the whys and wherefores to solve a crime. Holmes for example is hyperosmic and can detect scents amongst the normal ones the rest of us can. Are they their real names? Of that we are not sure but what we can be certain of is that they are good at their job, very good and the police department calls them in when things are starting to get beyond them or where they would rather not be involved. Each one has their own secrets from their lives before they got together. Can they solve the crimes and stay under the radar? This is my first James Patterson book. I know , I know, I must have been hiding under a rock. Brilliant and page turning doesn't do this justice. It looks like I have rather
