Up for pre-sale now and releasing on November 1st are my two Christmas books.
When Violet Noble begins her new job as council events planner in Winkfield Green, she’ s horrified to learn she has twenty days to organize the, as yet unplanned, Christmas Fayre— and it won’t be easy. All the files regarding previous events have disappeared, along with most of the decorations. She needs a miracle, but what she gets instead the council’ s maintenance man, carpenter and all-around fix-it guy— Derek Xenon.
When Violet turns to Derek for help with the Christmas Fayre, his first instinct is to say no. His regular job is demanding enough without adding the resident damsel in distress to his workload. However, he’ s never one to turn down a challenge— even one from Christmas obsessed out-of-towner, and especially when someone seems to want Violet’s plans to fail.
Will Violet’ s vision of Christmas ever come to fruition, or will she throw in the stocking?
Carole Quelch’s secret must remain hidden at all costs. The price so far has been her home and her career. Terrified it’ ll cost her even more, she hasn’ t left town or been home in years.
Idris Owen teaches at the same school as Carole. When he finds her in the music room playing the hand bells after school, he nicknames her Carole of the bells and convinces his reclusive co-worker to help teach his class a piece for the school Christmas concert.
There is something about Carole that Idris finds intriguing, but she is hiding something. While he feels an undeniable attraction, he isn’t willing to allow love to enter the equation when she obviously doesn’t trust him enough to share her past.
But, secrets never stay hidden for long. When this one comes to light, everything will change.
Oh and as it’s almost Oct 31, if you fancy a spooky tale, one not to be read in the dark, try this. One reader said “If you like books by Jaime Jo Wright, Jessica R. Patch, Frank Peretti, and Ted Dekker, you need to read Saturday’s Child! “
