There’s something irresistible about a good psychological thriller. The twists, the suspense, the unreliable narrators—it’s the kind of genre that keeps us up late at night, unable to put the book down. But why do we love mind games in fiction so much?

Psychological thrillers tap into our natural curiosity and love for puzzles. They make us question everything, keeping us engaged as we try to piece together the mystery before the big reveal. We love the adrenaline rush that comes with a...

Books have a unique way of touching our hearts and staying with us long after we’ve turned the last page. Whether it’s a novel that provides comfort during a tough time or a story that shifts our perspective, literature has the power to shape lives.

Some stories make us laugh, others make us cry, and some even change the way we see the world. I still remember the first book that made me truly feel something beyond the words on the page. It was the kind of story that lingered in my thoughts and...

For self-published authors, book reviews are more than just a collection of opinions—they are a crucial element in an author's success. Unlike traditionally published writers who have the backing of a publishing house, marketing team, and established distribution networks, self-published authors must rely on word-of-mouth, personal marketing efforts, and—perhaps most importantly—reviews to build credibility and reach new readers.

Meet four unlikely friends in the picture-perfect town of Saffron Walden:

How amazingly cute is this picture?

I asked for a bit of advice on the cover art on a group on Facebook and a lady messaged me.

She said her daughter, looked over her shoulder and mentioned that Betty had hair just like hers and wanted the book.

With that, her mum, Sayo, purchased it.

Yesterday, she sent me a wonderful picture of little Mia with her copy of Bookworm Betty that had arrived.

I’m thrilled that she loves the book and still can’t get over how much she does actually look like Betty!

A Surreal Moment:

Last week, as I settled into my seat for what would turn out to be a delayed flight to Italy, I had no idea I was about to experience one of those surreal moments that remind you how small the world has become.

As we waited for our flight to depart, the lady seated next to me turned and asked, “Can I ask you a question… you look familiar… are you an author?” I nodded, both surprised and intrigued.

What came next left me truly astounded.

“I recognise you from TikTok!” she...
