Reviews

It is very humbling to receive reviews from readers. I know your lives are busy and I hope what I write entertains and informs you. 

As an indie author, I rely on reviews so much to get the word out and every review helps with that, so from the bottom of my heart – thank you! 

“Life lessons and exciting recipes! What could be better? A Tipsy Man Goes Naked is an interesting, insightful and delicious read, with stories that inspire you to stop and think and recipes that inspire you to try to replicate them.

From the very first page, the author engages you in a challenge to think more deeply about life, bringing both self-awareness and other awareness to the forefront of your thoughts. The stories are all written with a specific lesson to be learned, so reading with an open mind is the best way to approach this anthology, pausing between each story to really contemplate the meaning the author wanted to convey. And what better way to contemplate than over a meal prepared from the accompanying recipe?!

I would suggest you try to get the ingredients beforehand though, if you want to experience the fullness of this novel by trying the recipes. Either way, it’s a worthy long-term read and a delight for the mind and for the palate.”

“This book was written in such a weird, beautiful way?!! It made the reading process so much more enjoyable. I read this (along with 2 other books) while going through a bit of a reading slump and this one was the only book that I was able to finish because of how interesting it was and how the topics were discussed.
Definitely recommend reading this!!!!”

“The tales of love are bittersweet at times, some are stories of love that don’t have happy endings and some do. I think my favourite was the brioche recipe one. They also give good recipes. I would like to cook some of the recipes when I learn to cook.”

I started reading books when I was 4 yrs old because I wanted the stories and worlds that reading gave me. I wanted to learn, explore and escape. Writing fiction is about letting my imagination run wild and taking you along for the journey… are you ready? Good! it’s time for you to explore and enjoy!
