About Charlie Cavendish

Hey I’m Charlie!

I’m old enough to have seen the original Star Wars trilogy at the cinema which may account for the grey hairs on my head. I currently live in Sydney (Australia) with my wife, three teenage children, and two pugs. I have spent about half my life in the UK and the balance in Australia so tend to have a strong English sense of humour.

I’ve always loved books and reading but stumbled into the world of indie authors/self-publishing after making the “brave” leap onto Twitter in 2022. This proved to be a revelation and I have been getting involved in the community ever since, with my main area of interest being on indie SFF books. That said I’m always keen to read as widely as possible.

I’m keen to help promote indie authors and so thought I’d try my hand at writing a few reviews, it’s early days so please bear with me.

Outside of reading and the book community, I love running, my pugs, and my family (not in that order).

Cover Reveal – In Deep Corprolite (Shade the Collector #2) by Douglas Lumsden

March 3, 2025 by Charlie Cavendish Leave a Comment

Douglas Lumsden is the author of the brilliant (in my opinion) Alexander Southerland series which consists of seven books plus the sharp and gloriously nasty novella The Demon’s Dagger which is set in the same world. That series came to an end with the seventh book A Specter Raps on My Windowpane. He has now […]

Australian & New Zealand Author Showcase No 27 – Livia J Elliot

August 25, 2024 by Charlie Cavendish Leave a Comment

An idea squeezed into my head in 2023, after seeing so many of the book community gathering at conventions across the US and UK. And once my FOMO subsided, I got to thinking about who might be gathered together if we had similar conventions closer to home.  Pending the master planning required to arrange a […]
