Bare Books Podcast - Murder at Melrose Court v Saving Grace

April sat and read Murder at Melrose Court A 1920s Christmas Country House Murder (Heathcliff Lennox Book 1) by Karen Baugh Menuhin that she found online. Daizi has read Saving Grace a psychological thriller by D M Barr which she awarded a meaty 4 out of 5. Which one would you read based on our reviews?

Bare Books Podcast - Flash Fiction - Never thought I'd Curse The Day!

Relax and let us read you a story or three, all based on the writing prompt Never thought I'd curse the day. We have guests Dean Wrigley and Tracey Spencer with us on this episode. We're trying something a little different and allocating parts to read this story that these two collaborated on. The past will always come back and bite you on the arse eventually.

This followed by a story about an estranged dead dad and another around death and an affair.

Painting The White House - Hal Marcovitz

We enjoyed our time with Hal, it's always a joy to get to know a little about the man behind the book, and this was no exception. With decades of journalism behind him, turning his pen to this work of fiction was a no brainer.  Funny things have been going on at the White House for centuries. Consider the problems encountered by President Abe Robbins in this fun novel. First Lady Janey Robbins likes to hang out in biker bars and First Daughter Jodie Robbins gets herself kicked out of Yale, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

You can have a nosy online too, Hal has an online presence right here: Painting The White House

Turquoise Traveller - David John Griffin

David's on-going mission as an author is to produce absorbing, page-turning stories with a literary depth. His novels, with genres covering mystery, gothic and psychological, always have elements of magical realism within. He also writes short stories and at the end of each, aims for that surprising "twist in the tail".

We enjoyed our time with David, it's always a joy to get to know a little about the man behind the book, and this was no exception.
