About Us

The Coffee Pot Book Club

The Coffee Pot Book Club was founded in 2015 by bestselling author, Mary Anne Yarde. Later, her daughter, Ellie, joined her.

Mary Anne’s goal was to create a platform that would help Historical Fiction, Historical Romance and Historical Fantasy authors promote their books and find that sometimes elusive audience. 

The Coffee Pot Book Club soon became the place for readers to meet new authors (both traditionally published and independently) and discover their fabulous books.

In July 2022, Mary Anne and Ellie Yarde handed over the keys to The Coffee Pot Book Club to award-winning author, Cathie Dunn, who has many years’ experience as a book reviewer, author, and editor.

Mary Anne returned to the admin team of The Coffee Pot Book Club in January 2025, to look after Editorial Book Reviews. Meanwhile, Cathie continues to coordinate our popular blog tours, featured guest posts, growing author services – and our prestigious Book of the Year Awards.
