Time for another Special Guest Post,  Huzza!   Today's Guest Post will be from Nottingham-based Author Jack Croxal l! His new best-selling   short story X is now available for purchase from Amazon UK & Amazon US.  Halloween Guest blog – Jack Croxall I love Halloween. Not just because of the fancy dress and mischievous hijinks, but because of all the spooky stories that rear their creepy heads to give us goose bumps, shudders and, most importantly, that little something extra to think about. A gory supernatural horror is all well and good, but I find a spooky tale is all the more unsettling if it is driven by something real; by a theme or character we can relate to, or even by a situation we recognise from real life. Throughout the beginning of this year, I’d been mulling a horror story over in my mind constantly. I had a character, a claustrophobic setting and an unforgiving menace, but no actual theme – no real point to the story. Luckily thoug...

Top Ten for Artistic Nonsense So, Today we've got the honour to present  Anna's Top Ten  favourites  from  her recently published eBook ' The Art of Letting Go '   So sit back and enjoy! This is going to be my favourite post to write…and that’s because I am going to reveal my top ten favourite bits in The Art of Letting Go. My ten favourite sections to read but also my favourite bits to write. The Fresher’s Ball – For me the Fresher’s Ball is where the story kicks off in earnest. I love the fact that Lilah looks stunning in my imagination but has no idea herself. The bit when Ben jumps off the stage to chase her is my go-to for warm fuzzy feelings. That’s got to be every girls dream to have a guy jump off a stage for her.  Lilah walking across campus in puddles of drool – I love the visual image of Lilah walking in puddles of drool. Have you ever tried to walk anywhere and stare at a hot guy at the same time? It is a very importan...

Why don't you focus more on what makes you brilliant and less on what y...

One woman. One Diary. One question: can you ever stop history from repeating itself and if you could what would you do to stop it?

     Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,  Take him and cut him out in little stars,  And he will make the face of heaven so fine  That all the world will be in love with night  And pay no worship to the garish sun." -Juliet, act III, scene ii

The Uni Files Year One – The Art of Letting Go Read-Along Hey! Anna here, C ait messaged me last night and asked if I would write you guys a quick post telling you about the read-along we are arranging for my debut novel The Uni Files – The Art of Letting Go. The novel comes out next week, and can I just say I am completely overwhelmed by the positive response and support I am getting from readers and bloggers alike – I am feeling very loved right now which is great in itself. So anyway the idea for the read-along is we are going to split the novel into three sections, following the natural breaks in the story. Autumn, Spring and Summer terms i.e. The academic year. Each section will then be picked up by a blogger on their own site and they can discuss their favourite bits and try to guess where the story is going etc. The rest of the read-along gang can comment away. I will make sure everything is posted on my blog as well so we can keep track of everything.  I ...

Let Me Go by L.L Akers Genre: New Adult, Coming-of-age, Written by: L.L Akers Available as: Paperback, Kindle version Buy it here Published by:  SmArt Group Consulting, LLC         Meet Twin Sisters Gabriella and Olivia and step into their world of crushing heartbreak, constant fear and anguish. 'Let Me Go' was almost like an out-of-world experience for me, like I was watching myself, read the book, but I was right within those pages, looking out at the person holding the book. It is a story about a trio of sisters struggling to cope with abuse, while trying to fight for their families survival. Prior to starting the book, I asked around a little, (as always) to get a feel of other peoples views on the matter and I was shocked to see just how many people either didn't realize or didn't want to realize just how much truth there was to the story. I couldn't believe how often I heard the words '' GROSS EXAGGERATION '...
