5 Star editorial review for Fraying Skeins!

Hello again,

Launch time for a new novel seems to get busier each time I experience this stage. Today marks one week since the publishing of Fraying Skeins!

I'm almost overwhelmed to announce that Fraying Skeins, Book 3 of my Silver Sampler Saga Series, set in Victorian Scotland, has already received a 5 ***** Highly Recommended Editorial Review from Mary Anne Yarde at The Coffee Pot Book Club.

You can view the FULL wonderfully perceptive review HERE

I'm one happy author who can add yet another shiny new medallion to my side bar here on my blog. 

Book 3 sees my main character, Margaret Law, living first in The Granite City of Aberdeen and then the seaside university town of St. Andrews. Both are very fine locations to be in today, and also both fascinating back in the Victorian era.

Fraying Skeins and The Coffee Pot Book Club!

 Hello again!

Fraying Skeins, Book 3 of my Silver Sampler Saga Series, set in Victorian Scotland, is now well and truly launched across the internet. However, I'm still arranging local book signings at independent bookstores within reasonable driving distances. I'm looking for possibilities at libraries, too, which I've not done for a while. 

I'm absolutely delighted to announce today that Fraying Skeins has been chosen as Book of the Month at The Coffee Pot Book Club- which is fantastic! The poster above is so enticing!

And.. Fraying Skeins is going on a Blog Tour with the Coffee Pot Book Club during September. I'll be adding more details of that very soon, since the first appearance will be on the 7th September. 

Meanwhile, I'm writing blog guest posts; answering various interview questions; choosing various excerpts from the novel; creating banners for my own promotional posts, and continuing with fascinating research of late 19th Century Ireland for my own ancestry purposes and for Book 4 of my Silver Sampler Series!

Enjoy your reading,

Slainte!
