Blog tour: Frostfire by Jamie Smith

If you are still looking to become a published writer, Jamie is proof that there is still a chance for anyone to become published. Jamie didn't win the Times/Chicken House writing competition this year, but he was shortlisted and Chicken House still wanted to publish his work. It's quite common that they do this, so don't give up, there is still a chance you will get your publishing deal. Jamie says "over half of those shortlisted have been published since – an impressive statistic. There are over a thousand entries a year, but if you’ve got the story for it, I cannot recommend entering enough."

Today I am part of the blog tour for Jamie's entry which is Frostfire and I have my review to share with you of this fantastical adventure story.

Blog tour: Miss Marley: The Untold story of Jacob's Marley's Sister

Ah I'm so happy I'm starting to share Christmas excitement on the blog. This is my second Christmas post and one I am hugely excited for. I am a big fan of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and have always wanted to know more about the other characters, so what a treat it was this year to see that Vanessa Lafaye had released a story about Jacob Marley's sister. I must say that when I read the notes at the back of the book I was sad to hear of Vanessa's passing, but how lovely that her dear friend Rebecca was able to continue her story.
