Between Worlds

 

We’ll be launching this book on 19 February at 7 pm GMT. This will be a truly international event. I’ll be using my Zoom meeting room form North Manchester, author S Nadja Zajdman will be joining us from Canada and Pam  Keevil from the south of England will be interviewing her.

Sharon has been a regular contributor to CaféLit and she has had several stories published in Bridge House’s annul anthologies. She has a strong writing voice and a very engaging style.

Between Worlds is a collection of essays / memoir vignettes, many of which have been published previously. They create an extra dynamic as they are gathered together in this collection.   

Read more about the book here.

Pam has acted as beta reader for Sharon and she will conduct an interview.  It should make for an interesting evening.

Book launch of K M Kendrick's Afterwards

 

Come join us on 6 October. 

Girl is dead.

She knows she is dead because she remembers dying. The afterlife is not what she had expected – she has awoken into a nightmare, in which everything seems hell-bent on killing her all over again. She is the only one who remembers what life was like before death and she has no idea why.

Also, Girl has a secret. A secret which could end this strange world she has found herself in, if she manages to survive for long enough. As she begins to learn the horrifying truth about Afterwards, she is propelled into a journey which will change everything she thinks she knows about herself.

Grim in places, Karen Kendrick’s Afterwards is also fast-paced and emotionally challenging.

The only way to beat the game is to keep moving forwards, even if it means the end of the world.

Book launch St Ettie's Music School 25 July 2024

 Do come along to our online book launch on 25 July at 7 pm BST .Book yourself a spot here: 

There will be a chance to hear an interview with author Martin Varny about the book and he will also read extracts from it.

We've defined it as a young adult book as it features young adults. However, it  has a much wider appeal.  There is a strong fantasy element as well. People who love music will be delighted by the resolution of this story. 

      

Thirteen children aged between nine and sixteen, each denied the love and care of a family, are brought together to live at Saint Etheldreda’s Foundation. Exploring the building, they stumble upon some old, damaged musical instruments in a storeroom. The children are amazed when they discover that they can hear the instruments talking.

Saint Etheldreda’s Foundation was previously Saint Etheldreda’s Music School, run by Elizabeth, a young, insecure woman who suffers from devastating mood swings. She had stood before the final curtain of despair more than once.

A chance encounter with the principal of the Foundation, Miss Stratton, results in the Elizabeth returning to Saint Etheldreda’s. Through the wonders of music, lives are changed and a loving family is born.

Saint Ettie’s Music School by Martin Varny is a charming coming of age story.
