I love guest authors

I love to help promote other authors, and welcome your books in my newsletter and on my blog. Please sign up for one of the available slots using the links below.

My newsletter goes out every second month, and I’d love to include your promotion in my ‘Books with Friends’ space. New books or special deals.

On Mondays, my Duchess of Haverford has guests for tea. Any fictional character from any of your books. Your post would be a conversation between your character or characters and the duchess. Plus your book promo (blurb, cover, excerpt, buy links). Any books, old or new.

You might also like to drop by my blog on a Wednesday, when I do an excerpt post from one of my current Works-in-Progress. I choose a theme each Wednesday, and invite other authors to post an excerpt that fits the theme in the comments.

I also occasionally review someone else’s book on a Sunday. I don’t agree to do reviews. I will review a book if I have the time, and if I love it. I don’t rate books when I post a review on this website, but here’s the star rating system I use on Goodreads and the eretailer sites:

  • 5 stars. This book satisfies on every level. It has depth of character, theme, and plot. It is superbly written and well edited. It does not leave unsatisfactory loose ends, and the relationship resolution is convincing. I believe in the couple’s happy ending.
  • 4 stars. This is a good book. It misses one or two of the elements I look for in a great book, but I really enjoyed reading it.
  • 3 stars.This might be a good or even a great book for someone else. Maybe it is just not to my taste. Often, the issue is that it’s suited to someone less pedantic than me, because I’m bothered by inconsistencies, unlikely behaviour and inaccuracies. But hey, I finished it, which I don’t do if a book leaves me completely cold. It might be just your cup of tea.
  • 2 stars. Did not like.
  • 1 star. This book was totally offensive to my value system.
I don’t post 1, 2, or 3 star reviews. I know how people obsess over reviews, and don’t want to cause pain.
