My guest blogger is Kristina Jackson, author of The Fools Journey. Today she discusses Snuff, and no not the pulverized tobacco product, but the novel Snuff by Terry Pratchett. Kristina discusses how it just magically jumped into her shopping basket! It's funny how books can do that.
Snuff!
Last week I was talking about
Terry Pratchett, this week I am reading him. I took the wheelchair to Tesco,
for the first time on my own a few weeks back. There at hand height was Snuff,
for £2.99. I swear it jumped into the basket on my knee. For the last year at least I have been
reading nothing but Indie authors. But this book kept calling to me. The siren
call was too loud. I gave in.
When Commander Vimes, the
never off duty policeman, is forced to go on a restful holiday to the country.
He discovers an ancient crime more terrible than any murder. He finds himself in a situation almost
totally out of his control. But where
there is a crime, there is a chase. Where there is a crime there needs to be a
punishment.
So far this book is proving
hard to put down. When I am also reading true crime and smuggling books. Let
alone the local history ones I have. It proves what a good book this is.

Bio of Kristina Jackson
"One day you will write your own book, just let your heart
guide you."
Those were the immortalised words of my teacher in the 5th Year of
Primary School; I was 8 at the time. I'd just had a short story published in
the school magazine, and won a prize of a book for my privilege. I knew I had
wanted to write since I could write sentences. 28 years later I am realising
that dream.
I am Kristina Jackson. I am in my mid thirties, wife, mother of
two, owner of one dog and slave to two cats. One of my cats, Bono, is my
writing companion. He is often found sharing my lap with my laptop or partially
draped over the keyboard if I am using the laptop on the desk.
I suffer from a condition called POTS (postural orthostatic
tachycardia syndrome) I have become disabled by it, but as physical doors have
shut the mental ones opened. Now I have so many ideas, and the ideas are
throwing out so many characters who are each threatening to run away with my
remaining sanity.
It is anybody's guess where this will now lead.
