Summer at The Secondhand Bookworm - The Castletown Tuk-Tuk, kindle novel, fiction, series

The Castletown Tuk-Tuk was inspired upon a visit in May to Arundel where the little Tuk-Tuk was parked ready to give tours about the town. I love to include eccentric and humorous things in my series of novels and the Tuk-Tuk was a must!

The Tuk-Tuk in Arundel
Castletown is my fictional setting for my series of novels set in a secondhand and antiquarian bookshop. The novels are based upon my ten years experience working in and managing a secondhand bookshop in Arundel. I started the series in 2008 for fun, writing two novels for my book colleagues which were a great success. A couple of years ago I decided to rewrite the first volumes and continue with the planned series so as to make them available on Amazon Kindle. So far I have four in the series and am currently working on book five.



The Tuk-Tuk first appears in 'Summer at The Secondhand Bookworm', book four in my series of novels, but I will include it in more. I am especially looking forward to including it in my fifth novel in the series 'Halloween at The Secondhand Bookworm' where I am sure it can play a 'spooky' role.


In my novels I have made the Castletown Tuk-Tuk black and red. Like the Arundel Tuk-Tuk, my Tuk-Tuk starts its tours by the museum. My town has a slightly different layout, with shops, people and customers fictionalized for my stories, but I draw my inspiration from my old place of work and living close to Arundel I visit the town regularly. My cousin also still works in the bookshop there so always has plenty of new bookworm stories for me to draw upon.


I shall be working on 'Halloween at The Secondhand Bookworm' over the next few months and hope to have it available by the end of October 2018.

THIS WEEKEND - Free KINDLE SUMMER book - Summer at the Secondhand Bookworm

Image
THIS WEEKEND I am making available my novel 'Summer at The Secondhand Bookworm' which is book 4 in my series of happy, funny novels set in an English bookshop FREE to download through Amazon Kindle. The novels are based upon my ten years experience running three antiquarian and secondhand bookshops in Sussex, England, primarily the branch in Arundel, West Sussex until 2012. 'Summer at The Secondhand Bookworm' naturally includes a wry look at running a bookshop during the summer season with plenty of mishaps and book-related sub-plots. Have you ever attended the Festival of Flowers? Have you been on the Gallery Trail in Arundel? Ever been up to the castle or, of course, into the bookshop in the town below? This book can be enjoyed as a stand alone novel and could serve as a taster for the series of which I currently have 6 in publication. The book will be available to download from free until Monday at midnight, worldwide through Amazon. Here's the blurb

A trip to Badgers Books, Worthing and some resources

Image
Today (Friday 20th December 2019) my sister had her eye test in Specsavers so afterwards we walked down to Badgers Books, a secondhand bookshop in Worthing just off of Montegue Street. I was interested in buying some cheap old books for mixed media collage canvases that I have been doing lately. I am now not immune to the smell of used books having not worked in a bookshop since 2012. I had become immune to it after ten years running a secondhand bookshop in Arundel (and Worthing and Chichester) but no, it was strong and familiar again like when I first started in my bookshop in 2002... Badgers Books is smaller than the bookshop I worked in and the one that features in my series of novels 'The Secondhand Bookworm'. It was easy to navigate and my sister said she loved the mess, with books piled up everywhere. I have to admit it would have driven me crazy, I like books really neat on shelves and none on the floor, but it was fun to have a look about. Being low on the

Get ready for the Apocalypse at The Secondhand Bookworm - new book coming soon!

Image
 GET READY FOR THE APOCALYPSE! The End Times Cult that arrived at the end of book 10 in The Secondhand Bookworm series of novels set in a quirky English bookshop in Castletown (featuring Nora Jolly, a Catholic Duke, plenty of customers, new faces, old faces, laughs, light romance and plenty of books!), is in crisis! After makings its (hilariously outrageous) presence known throughout the Winterland Festival (curses, predictions, doom and gloom and a worrying event looming on the bookshop's horizon) - the End Times Cult has disbanded. Nora and Georgina have arrived at the compound to buy the library of outlandish books for The Secondhand Bookworm, but this may well mark the descent into their very own Apocalypse. The Duke of Cole's brother is having a crisis, there are many new establishment now open in the town, too much weight is being added to the already creaking bookshop floors, the local Ghost Hunt Tour has employed the Grim Reaper, Georgina's purchased a library of Gh
