Apocalypse, Armageddon and End Times Prophets at The Secondhand Bookworm

 Book 12 in The Secondhand Bookworm Series

Apocalypse at The Secondhand Bookworm


The series continues with an interesting theme in book 12 when the local Doomsday Cult closes and its diverse leaders Bo and Peep are arrested for fraud and emotional mockery. Spencer Brown, a regular at Nora's bookshop in Castletown, is in charge of removing the various doomsday cults and groups, their belongings and their library from the sprawling End Times complex. Georgina, to Nora's dismay, has agreed to purchase as much of the library as she can. Nora has a very bad feeling about it all.


Fun ensues with the Cult of Cthulhu, the Vampires of Eden, the Monks of Remorse and many more groups who had gathered in expectation of the impending doom get wind of what's taking place. Since Bo and Peep had a nifty little clause that meant they became the sole owners of all literature in the compound, they're selling it to help fund their trial. This means an onslaught of crazies to The Secondhand Bookworm in the aftermath, in search of their books and pamphlets.


Not only that, but The Secondhand Bookworm is truly experiencing some End Times/Doomsday judders, cracks in the ceiling, shuddering, rocking and ominous movement as more and more weight is added to the free standing bookcases in the middle of the upper rooms. Nora has a very, very, very bad feeling about it all.

Georgina and Troy have a spectacular break-up, Humphrey starts dating a Vampire, Mr Clegg's Asylum and Pharmaceutical Museum has opened its doors, Felix has a very rude parrot; the Duke is keen to marry Nora...and then his brother turns up and brings with him a tragic tale and an unforeseen danger to Castletown and the bookshop. Could it also be The Yakuza Apocalypse as well?

Book 12 continues the series of The Secondhand Bookworm with lots of laughs, some exciting revelations and a new development on the horizon after the Apocalypse at The Secondhand Bookworm.

COMING SOON!

 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
