Book spotlight Title: Tubing Author: K.A. McKeagney Publisher: RedDoor Publishing Publication date: 31 May, 2018 Tubing by K.A.

I had heard great things and it sounded like my perfect book, and it really truly was. Vaughan writes with such conviction and her characterisation is just impeccable. She... Continue Reading →
