One Family Christmas

Description

A big family. A whole lot of secrets. A Christmas to remember... This year, Lottie is hosting one last big family Christmas at the home she grew up in - just like her Nana would have wanted. But when her relatives descend on the old manor house, Lottie gets more than she bargained for. Every family has its secrets, but in this family, everybody has one! So, between cooking a Christmas dinner, keeping tensions at bay and a stray dog out of mischief, she has plenty on her plate (and not just misshapen sausage rolls and a frozen turkey). And then her first love shows up - nine years after he walked out of her life. Can Lottie make their last family Christmas one to remember... for the right reasons? A festive treat to curl up with this Christmas, perfect for fans of Milly Johnson and Trisha Ashley.

I've been jotting down my stories as far back as I can remember. Somehow life took over, I got a sensible job in project management and the writing has remained a passion. Writing your own story really is the best fun ever! But it's a close run thing along with talking, eating chocolate, drinking fizz and planning holidays! I live in The Midlands with my lovely husband and our wonderful daughter, who thankfully, both accept me as I am (with my mad morning hair and a penchant for skipping).
