Well my new book is out.
Number 8. And seeing as it’s like
the birth of a new baby, we’re going to wet that baby’s head with … well, what
else but my favourite tipple PELLERS ICE-WINE, courtesy of Slurp!
Over the next 4 weeks you’ll be able to win all sorts of
things – more ICE WINE, HANDMADE CHOCOLATES and a KINDLE TOUCH. So please check in and have a go. I promise I won’t make the questions too
difficult.
I’ve had a lot of questions about ‘The Wedding Dress’ –
mainly ‘will it be available in print form’?
The answer to that is ‘not at the moment’. Sorry.
If you’re wondering whether it’s worth investing the 99p to read it on
your Kindle, let me just say that if you’ve read White Wedding and any book
where Freya appears, then you’re more likely to ‘get’ what it’s all about as
two of the stories in the ebook are connected with those storylines. Freya’s story won’t mean much to those who
aren’t familiar with her from the other books, for instance. The ebook has been written for my die-hard
readers who wanted a little more than I’ve given in my other books about her
and the girls who feature in 'White Wedding'.
As for ‘A Winter Flame’… well, I like my books to be
stand-alones, but Violet’s story – from White Wedding – is continued in this
one. Her story was really just beginning
in White Wedding and I wanted to write more about her. Plus I wanted to write the 4th
season book and finish off the set.
The inspiration for A Winter Flame came from a couple of
sources. The rubbish ‘Lapland’ theme
park which made the newspapers and visiting our lovely local Christmas tree farm in Billingley – and stroking their gorgeous reindeers. It had such a great Christmassy feel about
the place and I had to use it in a book – and the white baby reindeer.
I had great fun writing about the imaginary ‘Winterworld’
theme park with its air of magical possibility – thanks to a lot of German
machinery. Christmas can be dire for
people who are emotionally lost, and as usual with my books, I like to bring a
bit of hope into the equation, so – fingers crossed – I’ve managed it.
Right… now for the good bit.
Using the contact page on my gorgeous new website (thank you Stu!)… just answer this
simple question to enter the draw to win yourself the most gorgeous fizz on
this planet.

The competition ends Saturday 3rd November. The winner will be announced on here,

wine.
Oh and my publishers are running a competition too along with the book launch - you can win all sorts of goodies here!
