Sixteen months back, when we first conceived the idea for M2M Books, our mission was immediately clear; to publish exceptional writing that resonates with marginalised audiences. Our dream; to establish a publishing business where diverse voices would be heard, cherished, and celebrated.
Today, that vision becomes reality. We are delighted that M2M Books’ debut titles, Love and Happiness and I Zig and I Zag, are gracing bookshelves, both in bookshops and online. Stories no longer confined to our imaginations, but out there in the worldwide marketplace, available for readers like you to discover and enjoy.

We spotted within Ystwyth Books’ social media that G.I. James’s debut novel, Love and Happiness, was among this month’s selection of ‘New Books’. Ystwyth Books is apparently ‘the best bookshop in Wales’ – we think that stocking Love and Happiness can only bolster this claim. 📚
As this is the first of our offerings (that we know of) that is available in an actual real genuine bookshop – can’t lie, properly exciting – definitely a significant and exciting milestone in the evolution of M2M Books. Obviously, I parked my cool self, sprinted to the top end of town and snuck an inspiring peep. 🏃🏾
Both of M2M Books’ debut titles are available to order from Ystwyth Books and all other UK bookshops (plus Amazon). If you are overseas (or prefer reading Ebooks), for now, you can grab yourself the Kindle editions by following these links:
If you spot either of our books out there in the real world, please post to your social media and tag M2M Books or email us at info@m2mbooks.com – we cannot get enough of this sort of excitement! Also, cannot wait to read your reviews!
About Love and Happiness 📖
Don’t mess with Harri! This pacy debut novel by G.I. James revolves around the formidable Harriet Bush, a mixed-race adoptee growing up in the North West of England. As a child, with important truths concealed by adoption laws, Harri can only imagine where she came from – as an adult, she gets to fill in some crucial pieces.
Love and Happiness is a raw and poignant exploration of the destructive nature of adoption, the relentless pursuit of identity, and the struggle to find a place in a world that feels untrustworthy and unwelcoming. Will Harriet be able to reclaim her sense of self and find the affirming love she so desperately seeks, or will the shadows of her past consume her?
