We're thrilled to reveal the cover of The Flowers of Bay C by E.M. Carter Author Liz Carter!

The Flowers of Bay C, a contemporary, uplifting novel set in a hospital ward, will be released on 28th November.

Six women. One hospital ward. A last wish that could change everything.

When life has worn you thin, sometimes the most unexpected friendships can make you bloom again.

Penny Fielding is done: with illness, with being a people pleaser while feeling like a burden. But when she’s admitted to hospital, she finds herself surrounded by five unforgettable women: Barbara, eighty-seven and desperate to see the sea one last time; Jodie, all laughter and hidden pain; Kat, the tattooed vicar who never puts herself first; Violet, proud and prickly; and gentle Amina, who sees the truth in everyone else.

As friendships spark and secrets surface, an impulsive plan to grant Barbara’s dying wish turns into something far bigger — a wild, life-affirming adventure that might just save them all.

Heartfelt and tender, The Flowers of Bay C is a story about second chances, fierce resilience, and choosing joy even when the odds are stacked against you.

Have you checked out The Centauri Sequence by our author Andrew J Chamberlain?

One five-star review says Book 1, The Centauri Survivors, is:

'Fast paced from the start! The young protagonists wake from a 60 year sleep to find themselves in the midst of a tragedy, and their own lives threatened. Escaping to the surface of an alien planet, they find new threats from the local fauna, plus the old threats are in pursuit.

Well crafted and full of mysteries, challenges and plot-twists, this is nicely aimed at it's YA target audience and a good read for other age groups (such as mine!). The first in a series, it lays a good groundwork for further adventures to come.'

Have you read one of our latest publications, The Diary of Ruth Leigh Aged Fifty-Eight And Three Quarters, by Ruth Leigh Writes yet? Here's what one five-star review says:

'Ruth Leigh has triumphed again! This highly entertaining and thought provoking diary gives us an intimate insight into life in, as well as outside, lockdown, the trials and highlights of a blossoming author and an intriguing look behind how Izzy Smugge was born! If you haven’t encountered Izzy yet I strongly recommend that you discover this fascinating character in Ruth’s library who gives the reader witty, sad, poignant and thought provoking insights into life. This diary does exactly the same through Ruth’s unique and reader friendly writing style with equal measure of pathos and laugh out loud moments. I highly recommend this book to you.'

Have you read our Cold War thriller, Banshee by Lindsay Rumbold? Here's a five-star review:

'I am a massive military thriller reader and this has now become one of my favourite entries into that genre.

This book is the debut novel by the author, Lindsay Rumbold, and clearly shows that the author has a love of RAF aircraft as well as doing a fantastic job of researching her chosen topic.

The book not only focuses on RAF Vulcan bombers in 1964, but has a murder mystery which is set in 2022.

Lindsay has very cleverly weaved two different sets of events in different time periods together into 1 large story which is gripping.

As I was reading this book, my brain recorded details from both sets of events which I began to link together and figured out parts of the new technology which was being tested in the portions of the book which are set in the past (1964).

The characters in this book were amazingly well crafted and I rapidly become involved what the events of the book would lead to for them. Their personal histories are also featured in this.

You meet characters in both timelines of the story (1964 and 2022).

I found it particularly funny, that the author had one of the major characters in this book buy a particular type of vehicle (a BMW R1200GS motorcycle) as I work with motorcycles for my day job and am particularly familiar with that type of motorcycle.

I am very glad that I decided to break my book buying ban temporarily by buying this book as it is a fantastic story with well written characters and definitely kept my interest.

I will definitely read this book again in the future and will be looking for future books by Lindsay Rumbold to add to my collection of military thrillers.

I cannot recommend this book enough especially if you like murder mysteries with a difference.'

With Christmas approaching, you'll want to get your hands on this amazing novel by our author Nigel Oakley Writes.

"Most people in the UK will probably only know about ‘Good King Wenceslas’ from the Christmas Carol, and may not even realise that he was a real person who ruled Bohemia between 921 and (probably) 935 AD. But from the bare bones of the carol and the historical facts, Oakley has created a marvellous tale of forbidden romance and blood stained politics." Amazon Review

"In this fast-paced adventure, suitable for young and adult readers, Nigel Oakley unlocks a little-known and fascinating period of history, replete with political intrigue, warfare, violent hatreds and even a dash of romance." Amazon Review
