We’ve been giving away a lot of prizes over the last few months with plenty more to come leading up to the release of Shine Light. So we thought we’d share with you some of our happy prize winners!



We’re excited to have a shiny new staff member at Burn Bright. Meet Joelene! Say hi and make her feel at home.

Joelene Pynnonen – reviewer

Joelene Pynnonen embraces the life of an avid book lover in every way. Her household is ruled cruelly by a wrathful cat; and should a fire ever start it is doubtful that she would make it past the elegant stacks of novels to her room door. At least once a year she coerces her mother into watching the BBC mini-series of Pride and Prejudice with her, and will often follow up by re-reading the book.

When not reading or bowing to the will of the tyrant cat, Joelene likes to draw, make futile attempts at learning Finnish and occasionally work in a bookstore.
