Image
   I received an ARC of Hard to Forgive from the author in return for an honest review  I gave the book 5* Book Description: Long held secrets… A lifetime of guilt… A woman abandoned. Her ex now married. How long will she wait to exact her revenge? Betrayal, birth, and bereavement. Dora Smith had faced it all by the age of twenty. Alone, she tracks down her former lover planning to reveal everything to him, and his new wife. But with their first child on the way she can’t bring herself to rock their relationship. Instead, she plays the long game, watching, waiting, wanting him to put a foot wrong. Never dreaming it would take a lifetime. Then, another love is lost. Is this the tipping point that pushes Dora into a spiral of self-destruction. Or, had that been triggered long before? My Review:  I have now read all three of  this fascinating series by Georgia Rose.   Hard to Forgive  is the third story and I am looking forward to find out out more about the characters who live in the vil

Why be published by Honno? Our authors give their thoughts…

Image
  ‘ Why Honn o?’ was a question I wanted to ask each   of the following Honno authors when I started the interviews with them over the last few months. I mean, I knew why I liked being published by Honno: Honno  is my kind of publisher; small, independent, and led by strong women who know what kind of  books they want to publish and don’t accept anything but the best that an author can produce. So the editing is hard, but fair, and leads to many discussions – and a few compromises on both sides. Because it is known to be a Welsh press it is sometimes assumed that all its authors will be Welsh as well.

The supposition is false; Honno’s aim as an inspiring, feminist, Welsh press is to provide opportunities for women writers. The only proviso is that they are either Welsh, are living in Wales or have a connection to the country – which actually covers a great many writers. I love their
