Review:

This is my first experience of reading work by Liz Hedgecock and based on the back of this book I have ended up purchasing all of the other books in this series.  This book sees a young lady named Jemma James who finds herself having lost her job at a major company and having lost the great salary that came along with that job she must now look to find her next step in her career.  After coming across a bookshop at random and spotting that they are looking for someone to work for them she decides to take up a position within Burns Books working under the owner Raphael but will this be the next step she expected it to be?

This bookshop has much more to it than those bookshops we are used to but will Jemma be able to come through her trial period and make the store flourish or will there be just too much to overcome?

I found this book to be simply delightful and one that drew me in very quickly and I found myself not wanting to put the book down.  The way it is written helps to create a true atmosphere to the bookshop and the reader is able to visualise and feel what is going on during the story unfolding.  I really do recommend this one as being your first experience of the writing of Liz Hedgecock and I am confident it won't be your last.

Claude Bouchard interview

AUTHOR INTERVIEW A little introduction: I’m Claude Bouchard, born, raised, and still living in the Montreal (Canada) area. In a prior life, I worked in the corporate world, mainly in human resources management. In 2008, my employer moved our jobs to India and, while I pursued other employment, I published three books I had written long before then continued to write and publish more. Along the way, I realized I had a new job, that of author, and never looked back.  When did your love of books begin? While in kindergarten, my parents had signed me up for a book of the month thing and I remember the excitement whenever a new book showed up in the mail. I moved on to the Bobbsey Twins, Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, etc. and have never stopped reading since.  When did you start to have the wish to become an author? In 1995, I had an idea for a book and wrote  Vigilante  in eight weeks. I followed up with two others in the same series over the next year or two, even did some agent querying but eve
