Fiction: Yes! We are taking the occasion to do a great, light, wonderful, romantic novel set in London. Reminiscent in feel to One Day (but with a happier... no, we're not giving that one away.) We loved it and got all misty-eyed. The novel is Jennifer E Smith - The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight.

British Crime: Mark Douglas-Home - The Sea Detective. A Scottish gem! Remember where you saw it first.

Non-fiction: Countess of Carnarvon - Lady Almina and the Real Downton Abbey: The Lost Legacy of Highclere Castle. Gotta love it.

Tough Crime: Pamela Beason - Bear Bait. White-knuckle thriller with a biologist hero!

Fantasy: Lavie Tidhar - Osama. This one just won the World Fantasy Award!

Science Fiction: Alexander Jablokov - Brain Thief. Cyberpunk with a new twist.

Paranormal: Christina Henry - Black Lament. Madeline Black is an agent of death...

James van Loon - Blue Magic Woman

Book Launch James van Loon reads & signs his new book Blue Magic Woman Thursday Dec 6th at 19.00

This riveting psychological murder mystery is an echo from the edge, a story between two voices, a novel within a novel about a mysterious blue magic woman who casts a seductive spell on Michael, a passionate, but troubled young artist living in a disjointed world of eroticism and mysticism.

James van Loon, besides being a novelist, is a university psychology instructor, chartered psychologist, and international consultant.

Snacks and drinkies served.

Welcome!
