I’m thrilled to announce the re-release of my new first novel, The Beekeeper and the Bomb!

This project has been a labor of love, weaving together themes of family secrets, LGBTQ+ romance, and historical mystery.

When Alex Bramble discovers a WWII-era bomb in her grandfather's meadow, she realizes the quiet beekeeper she knew was hiding a dangerous past.

YAY 🎉 I finished the library challenge with a non-fiction book:
"Ten steps to Nanette" by Hannah Gadsby (read by the author).

I liked it. I had never read an Australian author. The fact that they are #AuDHD was so relatable. They have also gone through quite a lot of heavy trauma, in part due to been queer. They also make quite a critique of many current systems. Plus being funny. It was quite a thing.

Edit: correct pronouns!

Just finished Jane Eyre on summer reading list of classic English literature. This book was incredible. The harsh and tragic story, the incredible character of Jane. Mr. Rochester being so weird af and Jane was down for it (mostly). I really want to watch an adaptation of this one next.

Pretty stoked the pre-orders for 'Invasive Species' are really rolling in.

Best part of Pre-ordering... It's like Christmas in August. You wake and BOOM. There’s a new book for you to read on your ereader.

Or if you're impatient, you can buy direct and read it now, everyone else.

Summer's not over! Plenty of time for more reading!

Completed another book in the challenge, also in French!

A fiction book: "L'Épave du Cynthia" (The Waif of the Cynthia) by A. Laurie and J. Verne (the name of the latter only added to sell more copies).

This book was a childhood favorite. The plot is... predictable? almost an excuse to list or describe geographical locations. But I think this was the book that made me want to go to the Arctic.
I had forgotten how much I enjoyed reading sea adventures when I was young.
