Six years ago, I started my blog, Relz Reviewz, without the first clue as to how Blogger worked, an HTML knowledge of zero, and a belief that only my mum and sister would ever read my posts! Well, there’s no question that my mum and sister have been joined by many other readers from the States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, The Netherlands, India and more but not much else has changed ;-D
As I became more engaged in the book blogger world, made connections with publishers, publicists, authors and reviewers, and became a writer for FamilyFiction.com, I knew it was time for my little blog to have a big makeover. So I’m thrilled to announce that my blog is finding a new home at RelzReviewz.com and will have a wonderful new WordPress-based design, fabulously put together by my dear friend and faithful encourager, Kelli Standish. Kelli and I have talked for years about giving my blog a facelift, and I’m delighted that our long talked about dream is finally coming true!
I have also converted my Facebook profile to a page so I’d love you to drop in and LIKE it if you are so inclined ๐
I can’t wait to reveal the design to you, but given that suspense is one of my favourite genres, I’m going to make you wait a little longer ๐ BUT, you can get a little taste of right this instant, when you learn about my other exciting news.
Next month, I’ll have the privilege and pleasure of hosting a wonderful event for four amazing debut novelists, in the live event of the season!

Four books. Four authors. One EPIC event!
