To Wed a Queen Release Day

Yesterday was the official release day for book 12 in my Queenmakers Saga, To Wed a Queen. More than a year of hard graft has gone into this book to give Alecia and Vard, the couple who began the saga, an official happily ever after. And you can join in the fun by getting involved

CJ Archer is one of my favourite authors. This recent series is a spin off from the Glass and Steele series and it is just as good. You need to read them all!

Bernadette’s Quotes

“They keep saying that sea levels are rising an' all this. It's nowt to do with the icebergs melting, it's because there's too many fish in it. Get rid of some of the fish and the water will drop. Simple. Basic science.”
