Review of There’s Something Wrong with Joey by S Lee Glick
The first thing I want to say about this book is that the author is a stroke victim. Writing a book is a huge achievement for anybody, but it has been an added challenge for this author. At the beginning of all of his books, I love that he adds a stroke warning to all… Continue reading Review of There’s Something Wrong with Joey by S Lee Glick
Review of SexyQuad Chronicles – Life and Times of a Salacious Quadriplegic By Luke Stewart
This may be one of the toughest books you’ll ever read. It’s not an easy story and not for the fainthearted. The story is an incredible one. Though, not so much from the aspect of the author having a terrible accident at the age of seventeen. It left him paralyzed from the neck down, but… Continue reading Review of SexyQuad Chronicles – Life and Times of a Salacious Quadriplegic By Luke Stewart

BLOG 23rd March 2022 But a Number Featuring a Greta Harvey Showcase by Staff Blogger Laura Lyndhurst.
I’m sure my friend Amanda Sheridan won’t mind me chatting about our conversation. She posted a book review of something she’d read and said, ‘Don’t give it to your old granny to read’. In the spirit of fun, I had to comment that many old grannies are from the hippy generation and wouldn’t bat an… Continue reading BLOG 23rd March 2022 But a Number Featuring a Greta Harvey Showcase by Staff Blogger Laura Lyndhurst.

Interviews, scary or what? I’m talking job interviews, and I’ve had enough of them in my life, though you’re lucky if you can land one these days.
