Books Paula (Billericay)
Hi, I enjoy reading most genre's especially murder mysteries and thrillers, romance and fantasies. I would love to meet and make new friends, but do struggle to put myself out there, so am quite lonely and thought a book club maybe would be a good start to try and change things for myself.

Author JK Scot (Romford)
I'm the author of 'Beyond the Doors,' by JK Scot. A crime thriller that begins & ends in Blairmore, Argyll. I thought as I write books, it'd be good if I started reading them.
