Book review for "Writing a Marketable Book" by Charlie Wilson

"Writing a Marketable Book" by Charlie Wilson
ISBN: 978178088272700899 £8.99
This is an excellent book if you are a writer, it doesn't matter if you are new to writing or more experienced you will learn something from this book.
This is a book you can dip in or read from cover to cover.  It is divided into different sections so you can easily find the section that most interest you at that time.  This book is suitable for non-fiction writers as well as fiction writers and throughout the book it gives you things to do and think about and at the end of each chapter there is a comprehensive round up of all the information in the chapter.
It is defiantly a book that I will refer to time and time again.

Book review for "Let Sleeping Dogs Lie" by Janet Edmonds

I thought I would write about the book that I have just finished reading.
Let Sleeping Dogs Die by Janet Edmonds ISBN: 0002323915
This is an old book and was published in 1992 and is part of the HapperCollins crime club editions. I picked this up in a library sale a few years ago and have only just got around to reading it.  For such an enjoyable book, I wish I had got round to in sooner.  I really enjoyed the simplicity of the story and the structure, it was an enjoyable book to read.  It is not a long book and there are very limited twists and turns but it is a pleasant read.
A government vet, Linus Rintoul, gets involved in a discreet question from a vet that is associated with the Kennel Club regarding the age of a dog breeder they have both had contact with.  This quickly turns to people being killed and the question of why seems improbable and unlikely.
I would recommend this book to anyone that wants some light reading, there are a few murder scenes but they are not overly gruesome. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.
