I loved A Sunset in Sydney, the characters are engaging and the flow is perfect. It's a cruel world where you've sworn of men and then two come at once, both holiday romances and both with the potential for something more. Sarah's conflict is evident from the very beginning as is her humor via her internal monologue making this 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 story a joy to read.

From sheds to Snazzlechuff, I loved it all In Case You missed It was the perfect read to get me through a particularly trying time during the Corona virus pandemic. It has everything I needed, best friends, dodgy parental antics, a handsome man, and a guy who thinks he’s God’s gift to the written word. Oh and let’s not forget the shed. Had I been in Ros’s shoes, I would have   myself in the bottom of the garden, but with the help of a technological mishap or maybe the ignorance of a technophobe Rox learns that there is life after the USA. There was not a character in this book that I didn’t enjoy, even an ex can have his uses. The authors humour portrayed in Ros meant my phone falling on my face as i drifted off to sleep was the only way I could put this book down. My continued thanks to #Netgalley and #HarperCollins for allowing me to review an advanced copy of #InCaseYouMissedIt Purchase Links: Amazon UK:  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Case-You-Missed-Hilarious...

I am a big advocate of the Writers Helping Writers Thesaurus series, The Occupation Thesaurus being the eighth book brought to us by the curators of The One Stop for Writers website. It follows a similar format to the previous books, with the first 10-15% of the book giving an in-depth on how the thesaurus works with regards to the psychology and motivation of your characters. Now Angela and Becca are clear that to list all occupations would be endless but those referenced in the Occupation Thesaurus are from a wide spectrum, covering something in most employment sectors. Even if your character's specific job is not listed, the needs, traits ideally suited to, sources of friction, even twisting the fictional stereotypes section provoke questions that will lead to your own character's motivations and will help to develop your characters back story. For many people, their job defines them, it may not be the only thing to define them, but when asked people normally l...
