The next post is on the blog of Chantelle Atkins – The Glorious Outsiders and features Jessica Norrie sharing her home in the country for the last year in lockdown..
Guest Post #5 Hello Home…with Jessica Norrie
Welcome to another guest post for my ‘Hello Home…’ pandemic themed feature. It would seem all of us have experienced or are still experiencing a lockdown of some sort while the corona virus continues to blight our lives. Although we are all in the same situation, we experience it differently because our homes are all so different. Thinking about this inspired me to write a piece a few weeks ago dedicated to my house and what it has meant to me during these strange and unsettling times. Today please welcome author Jessica Norrie. If you would like to know more about Jessica and her books, her links and bio are at the end of the post!

If you are looking for your next book then here is a review from Harmony Kent for a thriller that sounds intriguing.
About the book
Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. By age twenty, in fact, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most elite universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her?
Still searching for answers to this herself, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. These eight windowless “tombs” are well-known to be haunts of the future rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street and Hollywood’s biggest players. But their occult activities are revealed to be more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive.

Ok I’m going to be full of hubris here and compare myself to Jane Austen! Trying to make a post – let alone many novels – out of tiny unchanging domestic details, which we now have at least another month of, was challenge. The next one will probably be complete gibberish as the UK explores cabin fever still further. Thanks for your encouragement and I bet that response is more than you bargained for!

I love the conversation! And just know, you are not alone. Canada is having the same eternal lockdowns. Only difference – UK is getting vaxed and Canada is like a 4th world country with no vaccines. 😦

Yes, lets hope it will become true, Jessica. Actually here in Bavaria they are discussing another lockdown. Nobody here wants to order Sputnik-V, even the other vaccines are not fully available. But buying gas from Russia is not a “no go” for our officials. 😉

No – I can see your point about Sputnik-V! Good luck.

Thank you very much, Jessica! Here we are in so called “Bavaria Siberia”. Why not Sputnik-V? 😉 However, lets hope we will soon finish this horrible pandemic. Best wishes, Michael
