THE SECONDHAND BOOKWORM NOVELS A NEW series for young adults Books one and two now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited and in paperback OUT NOW The Secondhand Bookworm - BOOK ONE in a series of novels for young adults (and older adults too!) set in an English secondhand bookshop AVAILABLE THROUGH AMAZON The Secondhand Bookworm (view on Amazon UK HERE ) is a rambling old bookshop in an historic town in England, where all manner of people step through the little black door to climb the rickety old staircases that lead to three floors of books upon books upon books and browse the shelves, upon shelves, upon shelves! Young Nora Jolly works in The Secondhand Bookworm and each day encounters a vast array of customers, be it her often crazy regulars, tourists to the town, visitors to the shop or a number of her friends.

I shall be checking carefully through it (and book one) for any typos or missing words that could possibly be lurking (or not lurking) in the text. I find it easier to do one last extra check through in the actual final format and it is easy to make any corrections to the editions.
