Great feedback from beta readers.: “ This book is one of those genuinely "can't put this down" titles. The dark humour that all nurses have shines through, but also the reality of working on a busy A and E department.  It's exceptionally well written, and an easy read. I dont mean easy as in " Easy Readers" I mean, the characters are well written and the book takes the reader along on a journey that is filled with lots of laughter , tears and general shenanigans.” Now available on Amazon

Is there anybody there ?

 Remembering to update blogs, web pages, X, facebook, Goodreads and even the Amazon book details does get tedious at times. I am currently at 33000 words of my new book. Around half way there ! Sometimes I wonder if it is worth it, does anyone read this stuff, does anyone read my books? The occasional Hi and review means a lot to an author, probably more than the sale of books. I love to watch page reads increase too, is that one person who read the whole book or 300 people reading just one page ? Some days with just two page reads I wonder what happened to the reader, did they get bored ? Did they get busy ? Did something better come along and they put my book on hold ? When the reads pick up again, is it someone new or is it the same person who came back ? As an accidental author I can tell you, I appreciate you, whether you buy the books or read them, I appreciate you My review of you  Thankyou 💕

New Book in the pipeline

 So after chatting to my readers I have been persuaded to write another book based on my nursing but more of a storyline, a ‘faction’ if you like 🤔 The book is based on my time in Accident and emergency, using many real scenarios but changing names and some circumstances to protect patients ( and others)  confidentiality. I am currently 8000 words in so only another 52,000ish to go lol Writing in a slightly different genre has been a challenge but I am enjoying the process and hope that you like the finished book Thankyou for your support so far, I have been blown away by your support and feedback 💕

Happy 2 year Anniversary to me 🥂FREEBIE !
