More Tales from the Bookshop coming soon - The Secondhand Bookworm series of novels


Part of my writing hobby as an indie author of The Secondhand Bookworm series of novels is planning and designing future books. I am currently (June 2019) writing book 7 - Book Club at The Secondhand Bookworm - with several more to follow.

While they are easy to write (and an easy fun read) I am really impatient about getting them done once I've planned the content and designed the cover. I love having them in paperback (Amazon does a stunning job in paperback production) and like to line them up on my bookshelf. I also love to read them through myself.

Here are some of the titles coming soon to enjoy in The Secondhand Bookworm series. Books 1-6 are available to read now through Amazon on kindle, kindleunlimited and paperback. Here's a sneak preview of the following three - I shall blog about more soon!


Book 8 is called Valentine's Day at The Secondhand Bookworm. Yes, it set during the week leading up to and including Valentine's Day so there is romance in the air at the bookshop. With people obsessing over Betty's book 'The Llama Sutra' in the window, Nora's in for a typical week at The Secondhand Bookworm, but she's looking forward to spending Valentine's Day with the Duke of Cole where she receives a very special proposal.
Book 9 is called 'Murder at The Secondhand Bookworm'. When Georgina buys an entire library of books about True Crime, murder, serial killers and more The Secondhand Bookworm develops an uneasy air about it and Nora thinks she sees villains in every customer. Hangmen, Castletown's gruesome past; tales of murder and mystery at Nora's fiance, the Duke of Cole's castle and estate, and more make this an amusing, thrilling read with all your favourite crime and mystery writers popping up and the discovery of a corpse sending Nora and the staff of The Secondhand Bookworm on an hilarious adventure.


Book 10 is called 'Royal Wedding at The Secondhand Bookworm'. Yes, Nora and the Duke of Cole are getting married and Castletown is enjoying the festivities while their very own new Duchess is delighted to be given the former Fudge Shop beneath her old flat as a new and specialized branch of The Secondhand Bookworm up the hill. It's the build up to the wedding at the castle but Nora is swamped with books, customers and more eccentric happenings in The Secondhand Bookworm where anything and everything can and does happen, including a lavish royal wedding with a delightful bookworm twist.

MORE SNEAK PEEKS coming soon in a later blog post. Meanwhile, start the series today and keep an eye out for offers on the novels with AMAZON kindle and kindleunlimited!

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
