NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER FREE and BARGAIN BOOKS for you.
Gardening is so satisfying. From setting the seeds to planting out, I've had a grand day. I'd had to remove cloches, and wrap the tender plants - tomatoes, aubergines, peppers and French beans in plastic protectors - see the photo above! - I do enjoy my home grown vegetables. November now is a changeable month - bloomin' climate change - and we'll have hot days and next week, snow! I was driven inside to write this newsletter by a whopping thunderstorm and hail. Gardening aside I've found some excellent reads this month, more authors you might like and the Vikings are back. As usual there are several mixed bags of books on offer. The books are mostly free and there might be a few you'd enjoy. No deadlines this month, the offers are all for November.

AUTHORS' NEWSLETTERS 1 Rebecca' Newsletter 'The Map Colourist' Lovely book, wonderful story, but expensive. In 1660, Amsterdam is the trading and map-printing capital of the world. Anneke van Brug is one of the colorists paid to enhance black-and-white maps for a growing number of collectors. 2 Mike & Kathleen are gentle friendly people and not pushy. I quite often find something worth reading in their newsletter and have enjoyed their online literary events, Isn't their newsletter title clever? LitNuts is a free newsletter which promotes indie books, giveaways, and online literary events. Give LitNuts a try in November and you will automatically be entered into a giveaway for a chance to win a $100 Barnes & Noble gift card! 3 And on behalf of AUTHOR colleague, Jill C.

Faris: 'Don't Look Back: A Psychological Thriller' Another thrilling thriller to give you goose bumps.

OCTOBER NEWSLETTER
FREE and BARGAIN BOOKS for you.
How I miss the Japanese sense of service. My café order of tea during the time of hydrangea and iris blooming was served in iris decorated cups with a hydrangea blossom. And I'd sit and contemplate the blossoms. It's a lovely, serene and mind soothing occasion. Could certainly use some similar occasions as I'm rushing to finish the Japanese Edo period novella amidst government upheaval, Christmas family upheavals and local climate change problems.
This month I've found an author of straight, serious historicals you might enjoy and do give the last three mixed genre offers a glance. The books are mostly free and there might be a few you'd enjoy.
As always watch the deadlines and don't miss out!

It seems to me that we have become a nation of whingers. It's nothing but moan and complain and curse the government and yet demand the government should fix everything: RIGHT THIS MINUTE.
The climate change storms have swept away roads. People have been cut off and flooded out, which is devastating and frightening yet even if an emergency road and a Bailey bridge are hastily put in place there's no thanks. Just moans about a single lane track and too many traffic lights.
I am ashamed to be a member of the human race as I watch people stick their heads in the sand and refuse to accept that thanks to the pandemic, the millions who died, Trump and Putin, climate change and a general inability to accept that the world will never return to a pre-pandemic state. It's time people grew up and accepted that every one of us has to give up a lot of things in order to save the planet,
