Are you a fan of Sundays? All shops are closed, people are in their own world, the TV only offers reruns of bad shows. But it means less noise, more time to yourself, and hours to put to good use!
Today, I feel like sharing something personal (again!). You’ve been warned!
I’ve been quiet around here this past few days, I know! But today, thanks to the wonderful Emma at damppebblesblogtours, I have something for you!
Title: Godlefe’s Cuckoo (Danny Lancaster #6)
Author: Bill Todd
Date of publication: March 2018
Danny Lancaster has been missing since the fishing boat exploded. Police are closing their inquiry but Wanda Lovejoy continues her campaign to find the truth. An evil man kept alive by machines nurses a corrosive hate. As drugs and disease pull his dying mind apart he throws his crime empire into a scorched earth quest to find one man. If Danny Lancaster isn’t dead he soon will be.
OMG OMG OMG OMG. The time has come! You have no idea how happy I am! I was extatic when I received the email containing information on the next Kim Stone novel. I couldn’t keep my feelings in and started running in the house like a maniac!
But you don’t care, do you?
No, what you want to see is THE FABULOUS COVER WAITING FOR US! And the amazing blurb that comes with it!
Ps; A mahoosive thank you to the wonderful Kim at Bookouture for this treasure and my participation in sharing the news with the world!
Happy Hump Day! Today is a great day. Why, I hear you say. Because today we don’t get one cover reveal. Nor do we get two cover reveals. But THREE!
Happy Saturday, friends! Today I’m lucky to bring you a guest post from an author I met at Bloody Scotland and who is super friendly, super nice, and very interesting! His novel Heart Swarm in on my nightstand and here I am, taking part in the next book’s tour! This makes me extremely happy! Enough blah blah, let’s dig in!
Thank you so much to Sarah Hardy at Books on the Bright Side for inviting me to support Allan!
Title: Wasp Latitudes
Author: Allan Watson
Date of publication: 2018
Number of pages: 346
Against a background of brutal attacks on people and property by a rag-tag group of homeless men whom the media quickly dub Berserkers, DI Will Harlan is juggling with a head-in-a-bucket patricide, a lethal wife-swapping session, a sex-tape scandal involving the Royal Scottish National Orchestra – and perhaps most discomfiting of all – a spate of late night phone calls from his favourite serial killer, Howie Danks.
As the wife-swapping investigation spirals into a glut of cold-blooded slayings carried out by a mysterious pair of killers known as the Wasp Queen and the Priest, Harlan has to look into the past where a cold case may contain uncomfortable answers. But it’s in the present where the real danger lies as he follows a twisted path of mind control and madness leading to a cruel land some call the Wasp Latitudes.
It’s been two years and eleven months since I launched Chocolate’n’Waffles (applause). During this period, I took two complete breaks; the first in July 2016 after having blogged intensively for six months, and the other earlier this year.
Did I feel guilty? Yes.
Did it do any good? Yes!
Is it okay to put your blog on the side for a while? Why the hell not?
Your blog, your rules! And sometimes, it might be the best decision you can take for you and your corner of the Internet…
The wait is over!!!

Happy Tuesday! If you are as lucky as I am, the cold days are here. But I know how to bring back the sun!

Title: Palm Beach, Finland
Author: Antti Tuomainen
Date of publication: 30th October 2018
Publisher: Orenda Books
My Rating: 🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️
Sex, lies and ill-fitting swimwear … Sun Protection Factor 100
Jan Nyman, the ace detective of the covert operations unit of the National Central Police, is sent to a sleepy seaside town to investigate a mysterious death. Nyman arrives in the town dominated by a bizarre holiday village – the ‘hottest beach in Finland’. The suspect: Olivia Koski, who has only recently returned to her old hometown. The mission: find out what happened, by any means necessary.
With a nod to Fargo, and dark noir, Palm Beach, Finland is both a page-turning thriller and a black comedy about lust for money, fleeing dreams and people struggling at turning points in their lives – chasing their fantasies regardless of reason.
Today is World Mental Health day.
Scrap that, it was yesterday! I was about to post when it hit me. Why so we only have a single day to talk about it? So, I’m publishing this now and sue me if you disagree…
