I want to put on record how much I appreciate the work of book bloggers. They produce reviews of writers' works as an act of love, because they are passionate about reading. Through their blogs other readers hear about the book. All writers will tell you how important reviews are to getting the message out so I say Three Cheers for Book Bloggers.
My second novel AFTER THE STORM has just been published and here are some early reviews.
From LibrarianLavender
Suzanne writes:
Are Kim and Owen reliable people? that was the question I kept asking myself.
I loved the ending of the book. It was unexpected and I'm still thinking about it. After The Storm is an intriguing read and I enjoyed it very much.
From Cosmochicklitan
Heidi writes:
Jane throws a lot of curve-balls into the mix and I started to mistrust a few characters along the way, but was I right to mistrust them? I loved the way the author was able to plant seeds of doubt into my mind. At no stage did I have the storyline figured out and was held captivated until I turned the last page.
From Laura's Little Book Blog
Laura writes:
Jane creates a great sense of anticipation as to what is to come by giving little hints that all is not well. I was easily drawn into Rob, Anna, Kim and Owen's world. The descriptions and the atmosphere created by Jane's writing were absolutely perfect. Jane literally transports you there.
From Anne Cater's Random Things Through My Letterbox
Anne writes:
After The Storm is a well-paced thriller, that will challenge the reader. The tension, fear and anticipation mounts up throughout the story. The setting is excellent, showing another side to the usual sun-soaked tropical island, the characters are strong and well rounded.
From Ani Johnson writing in The Bookbag
Ani writes:
As a study of the interrelationships of four people fighting past secrets and current problems it's fascinating and clever. Jane definitely has a talent for writing psychologically scarred, complicated people. I finished the novel wanting to hug all four and remembering them long after I'd finished reading.
Charlene writes:
Jane has a way of capturing the essence of the characters and the location that makes you transported there. This is a very tense edgy book, you can feel it in your body as you turn the pages. You do feel like you are waiting for something to happen as there's such an atmospheric build up.
Thank you Suzanne, Heidi, Laura, Anne, Ani and Charlene.
