Paranormal, Science Fiction & Fantasy Author
I really enjoyed reading this lovely little book about cats and how we can adopt some of their approaches to life in our own. Cats have so much to offer and teach us, and the author captures this perfectly. His love for cats is very clear and affection for them runs across each page. I recommend this book to all cat lovers!

For two soulmates, a single twist of fate can change everything.
Blurb
In 1369, Killian the Dwyer is a young druid still learning to rule his people. His journey is aided by his peers. Two years ago, Killian accepted an opportunity to join a council of respected leaders. Which is why, on one fateful day, Killian and his fellow leaders venture to a castle of dragons.
Their intent is to build an alliance—what they find is death. But that is not all Killian discovers. Standing alone in a garden is a shy dragon with scales of a deep dark green—Killian’s favored hue. The shifter’s name is Duke Dravyn D’Vairedraconis, and he is Killian’s mate.
Dravyn knows little about the world. At four, he lost his parents and his uncle made him into a servant. Now, Dravyn is standing across from a sorcerer, and Killian’s magic scares him and his beast. Although he cannot deny that Killian is beautiful, Dravyn has no words to convey the mixture of emotions brewing in him.
Hours after Killian leaves the castle, a twist changes everything. Soon, more than fear separates Killian and Dravyn. Obstacles stand between them, but Fate has already paired their souls. What are they willing to sacrifice to honor the goddess and the tug of their hearts?

Ever since I was a child, dinosaurs have fascinated me. I would spend hours reading books about these amazing creatures and learning all I could. This passion has not gone away as an adult, and so I was really excited to read this book.
This is a comprehensive history of the origins of dinosaurs right up until their extinction. Rather than just relay facts, the author uses his own experiences and knowledge to give this insightful journey of arguably the most famous beasts to ever exist. You can feel the passion the author has for his work in every word, and the respect he has for these giants of the prehistoric world. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves dinosaurs as much as me or who has an interest in Earth’s rich history.

This book is a fascinating and insightful read of what we know about the planets of our solar system. It is written in a way that is easy to comprehend the science and not get lost in all the technical aspects. It is a great companion to the television series and showcases all our achievements in exploring our neighbouring worlds. I highly recommend it!
I’m pleased to say that book reviews will be back from tomorrow! They will be in a slightly different format and will be shorter as I work my way through my TBR pile. As I still have a lot to read, I won’t be reopening review requests for the foreseeable future but I will sure to do so as soon as I can!

Clyde’s idyllic afternoon in the surf with his mates is interrupted by the news that there’s been a quadruple suicide in an apartment overlooking the beach.
Two of the deceased are the parents of Barry Wilkinson, one of Clyde’s childhood friends, a man he hasn’t seen since Clyde donned the khaki and left for war. Wilkinson engages Clyde to discover the identity of a mysterious woman who has been left a huge sum of money in his father’s will.
On the surface, what appears to be a straightforward case evolves into a complex story of deception, lies, violence and murder. Relationships are tested, new ones formed and Clyde discovers that those connections that seem unrelated are closely linked behind a veil of secrecy.
The early summer of 1957 is a time in which Clyde nearly loses everything he holds dear—his own life included—all because of two couples who died while playing bridge at the beach.
