This week, I have lovely news for ‘People’s Friend’ readers and writers.
“The People’s Friend” Feel-Good Fiction Bookazine
Our Feel-Good Summer Fiction Bookazine will be available from Wednesday, May 29.
Isn’t the cover beautiful? I love the colours our designers have chosen, the blues and greens, and the butterflies.

The bookazine features forty-four brand new stories written exclusively for ‘The People’s Friend’.
All the stories are written by well-loved ‘Friend’ authors.
The stories are a mix of summer adventures, holidays and nostalgia, cosy crime and romance.
Perfect for holiday-time reading, wherever you’ll be this summer.
