\"At every opportunity love sneaks into the world. It is our job to find it.\"

Caroline McIntosh

Love can be found in a book or a film or a simple act of goodness. It’s not always magic and it’s not always perfect. But it is there.

It can be messy. It can be scary and uncomfortable. Love can be very awkward and bring self-doubt. But underneath that, it is there.

Love encompasses imagination and freedom.

How? You wonder.

In many ways, through imagination, anything is possible. Imagination takes you to different realms and places. It gives twists in a story, quirky characters and story elements which get mixed-up to provide the most wonderful entertainment.

Without the imagination you wouldn’t see the love. You wouldn’t have it.

Love brings freedom. When the emotions are balanced right, the freedom is there. You can feel the love expand as it soaks into you and leaves you feeling happy and hopeful and smiley.

An evil pumpkin-head, a magic chair portal and a stressed-out widow.

Abigail never knew that her husband’s death would invoke such a power within her.

Abigail Wren is not superhuman. Neither does she have a prophecy over her.

Here’s what she does have:
A problem: the grief of her husband’s death.

So, when she finds quiet by sitting in a rocking chair in the bookshop, the chair’s secrets wind their way into her mind, allowing her freedom from her fears.

Also, while sitting in the chair, she is transported to a mysterious pub where a nasty Pumpkin-head barman serves the drinks, despite the friendly atmosphere.

Only this joy is temporary.

As the chair also allows Abigail’s daughter in, reminding her of the pain.

The monstrous pumpkin-head stirs up magic of his own. A dark, evil brew. And Serena disappears - along with him.

Abigail faces a terrible choice: save Serena, or she gets pulled into the pumpkin-head’s dark book forever!
But in order for her to save her daughter, Abigail has to admit her true feelings about her husband’s death.

It’s been several months since the chair in the bookshop had any influence over anything. The last time it did, Abigail swore she’d have nothing to do with it again. So, when Abigail has a chance meeting with Stephen – from the bookshop, and then a surprise request - she does all she can to keep herself together and refuse his appeal.
But something melts inside her, and she agrees to go on another adventure. This time, she prepares to act as a wedding planner for a royal couple. Between the slices of wedding cake, rumours spreading around the staff and her official duties, Abigail discovers a soft side to Stephen.
Stephen believes the chair has ulterior motives beyond the royal wedding, but he doesn't have the courage to disclose it to Abigail. He’s not even sure what his feelings are for her. Can he untangle them and show her before the chair demands them to return?

Up to its tricks again, the rocking chair in the bookshop plays with Abigail when she collects her new book from the shop. Knowing that Abigail’s partner is stuck in France, the chair throws an Italian character into the village to see how much Abigail really loves her boyfriend, Stephen.

While Abigail won’t say she’s not attracted to the Italian, Arturo. She will admit that she is torn between him and Stephen. The more time passes and each day that Stephen can’t return, the more time she spends with the book-character – unbeknown to her.

But complications arise, Stephen’s father sees them together and even her own son questions her motives until Abigail begins to read the new book when she realizes that something is going on. And that Arthur hasn’t told her the whole truth.

Can Agnes Clarke sell rocking chairs?
Yes! Easily and on tiptoes with her eyes closed. She can sell the quality hand-made beautiful, charming chairs which her father makes.
So, why can’t she sell one to Lord Walter Ashcroft?
Because he’s a distraction. She can’t see any reason for him to have a chair from them. The trouble is, he can’t see why he can’t have one. And he keeps turning up on the family’s wood farm asking questions and exploring the craft. Her father sees this as interesting – and she sees it as irritating.
Even worse, he’s asking to have a chair made from one of the two oak trees on the property. No one uses those trees! They are treasured by the Clarkes.
Can she relent and offer a rocking chair made from the wood to which she is so deeply attached?
This love story reminds us how precious life is, the significance of our ancestor’s actions and the power of the stories we pass down generations.

This is a fiction story which is slightly different to the others listed here.

Three young adults. None with a regular life. When medical traumas become part of the family, can they heal the wounds no one sees? Aiden Corwin thought fainting on a hike was bad enough. But it turns out to be much worse when the fit teenager wakes up hospitalized in need of a kidney… and the closest match is the estranged father he hasn’t seen in years.

Zafirah Negrassi expected everything to go back to normal after her heart transplant. But the seventeen-year-old dancer is devastated when she lacks the endurance to resume her passion.

Tanya James wishes for a stronger relationship with her twin sister. It won’t be easy though when her sibling’s cystic fibrosis lands her back in the hospital after a successful lung transplant.

Three high-schoolers navigate the terrifying world of receiving organ donations.

From Aiden reaching out to the dad he thinks doesn’t love him, to Zafirah fearing losing her friends, and Tanya struggling to bond deeper with her sibling, these interwoven stories of young adults facing overwhelming adversity and coming through it greater will move and inspire you. The Wounds No One Sees is a beautifully told tale of a trio of teens battling extraordinary circumstances.

If you like thoughtful characters, uplifting moments, and tough emotional dilemmas, then you’ll adore D. Bath’s tender novel of hope.

“I really enjoyed reading this book. Great characters.”

Amazon Reviewer

In The Night Series

“The story revolves around Cinead and Leo, great friends and vampires. However, one is feeling a bit discontent with everything. This is where the plot thickens…

“There was a slight plot twist that I really loved; it added a little dimension to the story. And I adored the epilogue. I also loved that there wasn’t a romance component to this story. It would have just seemed out of place…”

Shakera, Book Blogger

“I liked the Cinead character. He was interesting, a bit mess up, and cool to root for.” Female reader, aged 42

“Enjoyed this vampire novel…” Male reader, aged 54

“I liked the protagonist and the journey he went on… I liked the cave and the clever twist as to who the bloodsuckers were…” Female reader, aged 22

The Wishing Shelf Book Awards

The Lavender Village Series

“This introduction to Lavender Village features bookshop manager, Isabel, fortunately ‘meeting’ Cameron after she falls and hurts her ankle while tramping through the snow two days before Christmas. A quick-paced novella in which the author closes the bedroom door at the right time for this reader😊!”

“The story ends on a surprise note near the bookstore’s quirky armchair which both Isabel and Cameron consider has some magical properties. Although not a cliffhanger, the ending does suggest that there will be further books in the series…and the author in her endnote invites the reader to these.”

“Isabel and Cameron meet in a bookstore in cozy Lavender Village. When she is injured after falling on the ice, he takes her to the house he is renting and takes care of her.

It's a delightful beginning to a new series with loving, caring people and a \"magical\" chair! Cameron was so undeniably kind and so was this story. I only wish it had been more developed. The ending felt a little rushed. However, I do like this author's writing style and look forward to her series!”

GoodReads Reader 4*

“What a wonderfully different story. Believing in a small town and bookstore was the vase. The best were the loving caring people. The chair was special to me too. You are going to enjoy this story.”

GoodReads Reader 4*

“What a delightful little story. I wished it had even a bit nor fully developed, but still an excellent read. Should be an awesome series!”

“Abigail and stephen met up again at a conference about business. The attraction between the two and the characters is great. She decided to go on a adventure with book characters and Stephen. I'm absolutely loving this book. And the magic behind the chair. And absolutely loved the ending.”

Amazon Reader

“There’s something really strange about that chair in the Book Shop…and boy did it have a strong presence! Caroline McIntosh has really spun a very interesting read with A Sparkling Love. The storyline is somewhat convoluted; the characters are really interesting; the plot needed a road map to follow; but the HEA was simply awesome! You definitely need to get this one for your personal library—it’s a keeper.”
