My Short Annual Review 2025/26
Successes in 2025
This year saw the release of my second book in the A Place in Greece series, My New Greek Life. I really enjoyed writing this book, so I'm really pleased it's gone down so well. By the end of 2025, it had already received over 200 reviews on Amazon!
The first book in the series, A Place in Greece, is still going great guns, and by the end of the year, it had received over 700 reviews, which to me is unimaginable.
Because of all your buying, downloading and page readings, I even saw both of my books in the top 5 of the Amazon 'Greek Travel' charts! Okay, it's not the Times Best Seller list, but I will take my successes where they land.
Thank you so much to all of you who bought the books and for leaving reviews. You are an integral part of my success and it means so much.
Moving On In 2026
In 2026 I plan to do much more writing. Here are some of my goals for the year:
- Continue promoting A Place in Greece. This is the first in series and has been successful for me. Hopefully, if readers like this book, they'll become invested in my Koustafali family and continue with the rest of the series.
- Publish the third book in the series, Greece for Sale. I am currently working on the edits with a view to publishing this book in the Spring.
- Book 4, The Crete Retreat, is written in first draft and will hopefully be ready for release in the Autumn.
- Finish my prequel short story/novella, which will be free to all my newsletter subscribers.
- I also hope to create more free content, which will be available to my subscribers and/or on my website. These will include writing more blog posts about my characters, the places in Greece that inspired the books and deleted scenes.
If you would like to be kept in the know about release dates, check in on my progress and be the first to get your hands on the FREEBIES, don't forget to sign up for my monthly newsletter.
