I have a crazy theory. I believe that the worlds and characters created by writers are much more than just a product of someone’s imagination. We all possess unlimited creative power (something that most of us take for granted). So what if I told you that all the characters, worlds, realities, and dimensions, ever created in writing or other forms of art, came to life somewhere in this endless Universe? That’s what I write about. Fascinating worlds and realms that exist out there. Lucky travelers that were granted a chance to visit those worlds. It’s what I’m most drawn to as a reader. Because it makes me one of those lucky travelers.
The Midnight Library is a book that will change you. Not only does it take you on a mind-blowing journey—from which you will not return to being the same version of yourself—it will give you a whole new perspective on your own life.
What would have changed if you had made a different decision? If you had taken a different path or opened another door? Can you still do it? Are you the one who holds the keys to your own destiny?
It will make you think, it will make you ask questions, sometimes rather uncomfortable ones. And most importantly, it will make you answer them.

The dazzling reader-favorite about the choices that go into a life well lived, from the acclaimed author of How To Stop Time and The Comfort Book.
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of…
When angels and demons are playing a game in which the fate of humanity is at stake, what can ordinary mortals do?
In this particular case, just sit back and enjoy the ride.
When two incredibly talented authors join their efforts and produce a masterpiece of a book—beautifully written and bursting at the seams with humor—all you can do is keep turning the pages. Because you won’t be able to put it down.
Especially when the main characters’ charisma is through the roof.
You might have watched the series (that’s how I discovered this story, in fact), but even if you did, I highly recommend you to read the book. It’s a totally different experience.

What if, for once, the predictions are right, and the Apocalypse really is due to arrive next Saturday, just after tea?
It's a predicament that Aziraphale, a somewhat fussy angel, and Crowley, a fast-living demon, now find themselves in. They've been living amongst Earth's mortals since The Beginning and, truth be told, have grown rather fond of the lifestyle and, in all honesty, are not actually looking forward to the coming Apocalypse.

But she changed her mind the moment she fell into the company of a copper-haired centaur named Blaze.
A dreamy girl, Lily longed for adventure that seemed to be just out of her reach. All of that changes the…
The world-building in this masterfully written story is truly exceptional. And you’ll fall in love with the characters too.
Needlework is full of action, adventure, unexpected twists and turns, and lots of music. I absolutely loved the song texts interwoven in the story.
The author created an outstanding atmosphere that you will happily lose yourself in.

Set in a small English village by an ancient forest, this book is unlike any story I have ever read.
And after reading it, you’ll probably never look at forests the same way again.
Masterfully written, filled with intricate immersive descriptions, The Forest takes you on a wild ride, dark and rather spooky at times. The ancient forests reveals its old tales and legends to the main characters, and we get to watch the story of an old curse unfold along with them. The curse that affected generations. The story that is full of secrets, betrayal, countless, heartbreaking moments; yet at the same time, the light of hope and faith shines through, all the way to the beautiful tear-jerking ending.
"I met a man made of leaves with roots for hair, who looked at me with eyes that burnt like fire."
An impenetrable forest that denies entry to all but a select few. A strange and isolated village whose residents never leave. A curse that reappears every generation, leaving death and despair in its wake.
What is lurking at the heart of the Forest? When the White Hind of legend is seen, the villagers know three of its young people will be left dead, victims of a triangle of love, murder and suicide.
Tina Thompson, a young and disillusioned widow, finds a pathway to different worlds and realms through her dreams. Using magical amulets entrusted to her, she must find the courage to face a dark and menacing ancient force that threatens to consume her soul.
About myself: As a novelist I’m crazy for detail. I believe it’s the odd and unexpected aspects of life that bring both characters and story worlds to life. This means that I try to be an observer at all times, keeping alert and using all five – and maybe six – senses. My perfect writing morning begins with a dog walk in the woods or on a beach, say, while keeping my senses sharp to the world around me and listening out for the first whisper of what the day’s writing will bring.
This book is a literary historical novel.

Love never dies in this novel by “a writer of addictive emotional thrillers” (The Independent).
