Release Day of A Cotswold Christmas!

I'm excited that the release day of my novella, the start of a new series set in the beautiful Cotswolds, is today! To celebrate I'm hosting a mini-party on my Facebook page, with giveaways, recipes, excerpts, and more. You can find it here. And you can buy A Cotswold Christmas here.

As I wrote this book I found out I would be moving from the Cotswolds, and so it is extra-special and poignant to me, a bit of a homage to a beautiful place that I loved. And there are five more books set in the not-too-quaint village of Wychwood-on-Lea, so plenty of more scope to enjoy this corner of England.

We've landed!

Another year, another move. Hopefully I won't be writing that again anytime soon! We've landed in Wales, unpacked most of our boxes, and are settling into small market town life, which definitely has its upsides--walking to town for coffee or a fresh baguette from the bakery--or even the cinema! Monmouth has a surprising amount of amenities :)

The River Wye is another draw, which is right on our doorstep. The other day I took our dog for an exploratory walk along the river path:

It's been fun exploring our new neighborhood although I am looking forward to starting school and things and getting to know people. Moving to a new place can feel a bit like being a ghost--you're walking around but no one is really quite seeing you.

In the meantime I am trying to keep writing! I have a giveaway on Amazon for Now and Then Friends which you can enter here: https://giveaway.amazon.com/p/b3023e4308d16f60
