Authors and their books

Of interest

I provide a few links below as pointers to some award winning books and information on authors.

My author and poet friends and colleagues

One of the great things about being a writer is the friends I’ve made and colleagues I’ve met along the way. I list a few of them below. Take a look at what they are writing!

Books I have read

Foy 2023 and moving forward, I will keep track of the books I’ve read and those I want to read on Goodreads. Look for me there as JA Secker.

I like to keep track of the books that I read, and this (2022) will be my 14th year doing this. I’ve included my lists below.
