We're so excited to share our new publication, The Secrets of The Alethi (Book 2 in The Centauri Sequence) by Andrew Chamberlain.

On the planet Zera, powerful forces are shaping the destiny of the Alethi clans.
The Haseraki Empire has sent an ambassador, talking of peace - but what is her real motive?

The Humans want to discuss trade - but can they be trusted?

And the Sky Messengers, who have watched over the destiny of Aleth for centuries, are taking the human boy Dan to the sacred tower at Aletheia’s Watch. What will the All-Maker reveal to him there?

At the centre of it all are the survivors from the colony ship, Aspira. Their last visit to Zera nearly cost them their lives. What might their return bring for them, and the inhabitants of the newly discovered planet?

✨ Impossible to put down... I thoroughly recommend this delightful book ✨

So delighted to share this wonderful reader review for The Art of Life:

“Once I read the first pages of this story, I became increasingly engrossed and found it impossible to put down. From the start ,I identified with the main character, who becomes Fen, and the decisions she faces as she encounters life-changing events. SL Russell is particularly adept at encapsulating reality and challenging our own reactions to the choices Fen makes. And she does it with such a light touch and with evident sensitivity towards all the people Fen encounters that we are there with her, experiencing all the joys and sorrows of a North Yorkshire sheep farming community. The Art of Life is an enchanting, thought-provoking story of one woman's decision to seek the artist and the person she believes she is. Understated and exquisitely told, SL Russell's ability to capture beauty in the reality of life, and the passing of the seasons is joy itself.

I thoroughly recommend this delightful book.”

What is the cure for CAD (Courgette Anxiety Disorder)? Where do Christine Keeler’s eyelashes and Keith Floyd’s cameraman come into the story? Does Ruth have a superpower, and if so, what is it?

So many questions, but all the answers are contained within.

Witty, sad, poignant, and thought-provoking, The Diary of Ruth Leigh Aged Fifty Eight and Three Quarters is a smorgasbord of subjects, a snapshot of history, and a life chronicled in brief flashes of creativity.

Congratulations to Ruth Leigh Writes for her latest release and our latest publication!

✨ Exciting news! ✨

My novel The Art of Life, published by Resolute Books, has been shortlisted for the Ink Book Prize for Fiction! To say it was unexpected would be an understatement – but what a lovely surprise to be recognised in this way. It’s wonderful to know that people are enjoying what I’ve written, a kind of endorsement in itself.

The Art of Life is the fourth novel in The Brant Quartet – a series set in the city of Brant: a city like any other, with its hospital and its law courts, its shops and schools – and its homes where the lives of four women play out in drama, triumph and despair. Brant is a haven for one, a prison for another. Rachel, Anna, Janet and Fen, their destinies intertwined, find their different paths. Can they overcome what life throws at them, and can they ever be the same? With its unforgettable cast of characters, vivid backgrounds and recognisable dilemmas, the series will strike a chord with readers everywhere.

I’m very much looking forward to attending the awards evening at the beautiful Nomad Bookshop in London on 25th September.

Thank you so much for the encouragement and support – it means the world. 💛 For more info on my book, please visit my website.

We're so excited to share our next publication, out this Friday - In-Between Girl by Sheelagh Aston:

Twenty-year-old Hannah must make a choice: stay in her tight-knit Amish community or leave for a life beyond the field and fences. When a severed hand lands at her feet one winter morning, this simple choice is shattered for ever.

Accused of a crime she did not commit, facing prison and shame for her family, Hannah has an impossible decision to make – should she remain silent, as Amish tradition demands, or break every sacred rule she was raised with to help the police catch a killer and prove her innocence?

Can she walk the razor-sharp edge between two worlds before freedom and family slip through her fingers, or will she be forced to flee to protect those she loves?

Look out for order links from Friday!
