Blog tour: So Now Go Tell

By

Welcome to the blog tour for So Now Go Tell by Susan Sachon!

More about the book…

After reaching a crisis point at 40, Jenny Watson is offered her dream job running a Shakespeare festival at a Tudor pub.

She can hardly believe her luck at this brilliant new start, and chance to escape her unhappy past.

The job isn't all it seems, however.

The pub is remote and her mysterious boss is permanently absent; there's a 400 year old skull residing in the cellar; and the local actors are less than enthusiastic over her boss's choice of play.

Then there's the growing conviction that someone's watching her.

Strange messages, withheld calls and shadows on the windows spike temporary attacks of stress-related blindness as she clings to her last chance to live her dream.

But as the dark play she's directing starts to unravel the secrets she'd sworn never to tell, Jenny realises she's not at the pub by chance... and soon she finds herself the leading lady in a nightmare replay of her past.

More about the author…

Susan Sachon has loved writing, books and theatre since childhood.

She’s also worked in business, run a theatre arts school for kids and somehow found time to gain a degree in Literature/Creative Writing, and a PhD in Shakespeare!

She now writes fiction full-time, runs Shakespeare workshops and directs plays locally.

My impressions…

A perfect read for this spooky season, this book abounds with secrets and mysteries, and it even features an isolated pub with a resident skull! These two are characters in their own right, just like our main protagonist, Jenny. A woman with a difficult past, you can’t help but wish her some good luck at last.

The novel’s many plot twists kept me on my toes, and I was fascinated by all the Shakespearean and theatre references. It’s clear that the author knows exactly what she’s writing about, and her great storytelling skills make me already look forward to her next work.

Three words to describe it. Captivating. Thrilling. Gripping.

Do I like the cover? Yes, it perfectly reflects the vibes of the book!

Have I read any other books by the same author? No, this is her debut novel.

Booknet: a new platform for authors and readers

‘Ooooh, what is Booknet ?’ I hear you ask… Booknet is a popular literary social media network, self-publishing platform, and Bookscription eBook sales model, all of which is being introduced to the UK following rapid growth in Latin America and Eastern Europe since 2015. How does it work? Booknet is both a successful literary self-publishing platform and a social network, founded by Ukrainian entrepreneurs in 2015. Booknet has gained significant traction in countries such as Ukraine, Russia (the Russian division was sold in the spring of 2022 because of the war between Ukraine and Russia), as well as Latin America. The company is now actively investing resources into the development of its English-language version. Authors can either publish their books with free access by readers, or sell them after obtaining commercial status through the platform. Booknet provides free advertising for eBooks sold by their authors on the platform. Booknet’s distinctive features (apart from being a pop...

Book review: She’s Never Coming Back

By

By Hans Koppel Translated by Kari Dickson Published by Sphere It is safe to say that my choice of reading material is not usually truculent. That’s why I surprised myself when I decided to read a novel whose front cover prominently displays a quote describing it as a ‘terrifying crime novel’. I started to read expecting the worse and - it being impossible to put the book down - a few hours later I was trying to understand what had hit me. Let’s be clear: I loved this book and I’m grateful to Sphere for publishing this Swedish novel by author Karl Petter Lidbeck who, being a children’s literature author, decided to have it published under the pen name of Hans Koppel. I can see why he doesn’t want to have the two genres mixing on the bookshelves! The plot is simple enough: one day after work, Ylva does not return home. When she hasn’t returned 24 hours later, her husband Mike starts to worry and calls the police. Ylva seems to have disappeared without a trace and, month after month, Mike...

“Italy in books” - reading challenge 2011

Why this challenge? This year I’ve decided to host a reading challenge because I think that they are a brilliant idea. They help to make reading a more collective experience and are a great way to find out more about any particular author / genre / topic and get to know about books you might never have come across. I chose this topic because - as an Italian who has been living abroad for many years now - I feel the need to learn more about my home country and I’m curious to see the difference between the way it is portrayed by native Italians and others. The details of the challenge The challenge will run from January, 1st 2011 to December, 31st 2011 . The aim of the challenge is to read at least 12 books that are set in Italy. Whether written by Italian authors or not, it doesn’t matter. They don’t have to be set exclusively in Italy but this country needs to play a significant role in the book. The challenge can include non-fiction books about Italy. You can also review Italian lea...
