Image
Bringing you exclusive interviews with authors featured in the Book Savvy Newsletter. Our Guest is  John White * Enjoy the interview.   Q1. Can you tell us a little about yourself and your book 'Brook Breasting'? I'm just your average sixty-nine year old, who simply wants his writing out there in the public domain. My novel is about life in a village called Brook Breasting during one eventful year, with a little mystery thrown in. Q2. What provided the inspiration for you to become a writer in the first place? I've watched active people become bored stupid when they retire. I needed another absorbing hobby. Although my school results in English were abysmal, I decided that if I couldn't better the celebrity 'literature' in the bookshops, I'd stand shooting.   Q3. Your novel has such a unique and fascinating plot, where did you get your inspiration for it? I study people, that and fresh air is all I need for ideas. However, you have to be v

A book that delivers some food for thought...

A review of 'OTOLI' by Theta Sigma, Resolution Corner blog.   "A book that delivers some food for thought... even for somebody who left school over twenty years ago." The Review Rating 4/5   "You know when you identify with a character in a book and say "I'm like him/her" or "I know what he/she feels like". Well, with this book I can genuinely say that to a point. I initially found out about this book due to the author, Bryony Allen, becoming a friend through Goodreads and I became interested in the book's theme of bullying. The reason for this is because I am a bullying "survivor" (I prefer to use this term rather than "victim") who was bullied physically, verbally and emotionally throughout primary and secondary school. The book is primarily seen through the third person points of view of main characters Alice and Keiran. Both characters are marginalised through bullying - Alice due to the actions of a
