Thursday – I shared my publication day review of short story collection A Registry of My Passage Upon the Earth by Daniel Mason.

Friday – I joined the blog tour for The Saracen’s Markby S. W. Perry sharing my review of this historical crime mystery set in Elizabethan England and Marrakech.

The Colours by Juliet Bates (ebook, courtesy of Fleet Press and Random Things Tours)

Ellen sees the world differently from everyone else, but living in a tiny town in the north-east of England, in a world on the cusp of war, no one has time for an orphaned girl who seems a little strange.

When she is taken in to look after a rich, elderly widow all seems to be going better, despite the musty curtains and her aging employer completely out of touch with the world. But pregnancy out of wedlock spoils all this, and Ellen is unable to cope.

How will Jack, her son, survive – alone in the world as his mother was? Can they eventually find their way back to each other?
