All six bookworm novels available to read on Amazon Kindle

I admit that it's easier to pick up a thriller or crime novel these days so as to keep your mind engrossed and gripped in a gritty, dark, heart-pounding story, rather than to embark upon a gentle, lighthearted read.

While I love to write psychological thrillers under a pen name, I really enjoy writing my The Secondhand Bookworm series for the setting, the humour (the sprinkling of friendships and romance) and an unfolding week spent among every sort of book imaginable (within reason...)


I am currently writing book 7 in the series but it's slow going because work is currently manic and I have a lot of projects underway. However, I do like to pop into The Secondhand Bookworm occasionally for a re-read and a little more writing.

So far there are six completed novels in the series all available on Amazon Kindle and free with Kindle Unlimited. They can be read in sequence or stand alone, and they're perfect for a nice, amusing uplifting few hours at a time.

So far I have written:

The Secondhand Bookworm (a week in the bookshop set in an eccentric ancient town in the fictional county of Cole, England)
Nora and The Secondhand Bookworm (set in November and during 'Poppy Day' week)
Christmas at The Secondhand Bookworm (snow, shoppers and seasonal book-madness)
Summer at The Secondhand Bookworm (tourist, ice-creams, festivals and books)
Halloween at The Secondhand Bookworm (the bookshop is transformed into Shelob's lair)
Black Friday at The Secondhand Bookworm (book bargains and book hunters galore)

I'm writing Book Club at The Secondhand Bookworm which is great fun, this time set over 7 weeks instead of 6 days.

Underlying themes of friendship, romance and literary interests always make each book a little bit extra special.

If you're looking for something nice, friendly, lighthearted, readable and absorbing then why not try one of The Secondhand Bookworm novels today? All are available from Amazon and in paperback.

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

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
