HELLO and WELCOME


to Discovering Diamonds! 
We will be going LIVE on January 1st 2017!

This is a new (and hopefully exciting!) review blog for historical fiction. We make no distinction between indie, self-published, or mainstream: a good book is a good book - however it is produced and published.

We already have a selection of books reviewed and waiting to 'go live' on this page: our intention is to publish a new review every day - so from January 1st I hope that Discovering Diamonds will attract good authors, eager readers, and many enthusiastic visitors!

Every book reviewed will receive one of our Discovered Diamond logos for the author to use as they wish:
For A Highly Recommended Read
For A Recommended Read
with an additional special  logo for the book/books chosen as Book of the Month and Year

We accept e-editions only, unless by special arrangement.
The Discovering Diamonds Review Team look forward to welcoming you back on January 1st and to discovering some wonderful diamonds to read!

For now - Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

  1. Helen, this is so exciting. So fantastic that you are doing this. You may be looking for undiscovered diamonds, but you are also a bit of a diamond yourself. A lovely sparkly one.
