The one where the hedgehogs pass an amazing reviews milestone on Amazon. Lover of 80s music, chocolate, cake and teddy bears, not necessarily all at the same time Recent Posts Would readers reject it for that reason? Thankfully no as the reviews show.Īuthor of uplifting stories of love and friendship set on the stunning North Yorkshire Coast. In Spring Tides we already know about their pasts and they’re moving forward into the next stage of their lives so this story isn’t as emotional. Readers/listeners had actually loved how emotional Snowflakes was but the heartstrings are pulled when Hollie and Jake’s tragic pasts are revealed. You’d think that, with that success, I wouldn’t have been nervous about the release of the sequel, Spring Tides at The Starfish Café, but I was. It’s my most reviewed book to date (4,363 reviews/ratings on Amazon alone at the time of writing this) and possibly my fastest-selling so far! What if readers didn’t like it? What if they didn’t take to the new setting? What if they thought it was too sad? What if they wanted all the Christmas feels and didn’t like that a warm and fuzzy Christmas glow wasn’t what the book was all about and it centred on characters who struggled at that time of year? As it turns out, we needn’t have worried at all. It was the most emotional story I’d ever written, it was set in winter and included Christmas but wasn’t a Christmas book, and it was a new location, albeit within Whitsborough Bay. When we released the first book in the series, Snowflakes Over The Starfish Café,we were a little nervous about it. I only tend to shout about the Amazon ones because they’re the larger source. Thank you to all those who’ve done this on Apple, Kobo, Audible and anywhere else as I appreciate all reviews, wherever they’re left. Thank you so much to everyone who has left a review or rating, making this milestone possible.
