Ding-dong Merrily on the Village Green!

I’m terrifically excited to announce that this year, the Comptons villagers are starring in a festive special.

The fairy lights are glowing, the carol singers are practising their harmonies, and snow is forecast. When Petra is tasked with finding a donkey for the annual Nativity Procession, she enlists the help of The Saddle Bags. With new romance sparking and old flames rekindling, what could possibly go wrong?

This little book is the perfect bite-sized mince pie introduction if you’ve yet to try the Comptons series and a merry return if you’ve already enjoyed them. It won’t give away any Country Secrets; the scene is Country Set and County Lovers will be kissing under the mistletoe. There are no puns quite as bad as that in Country Christmas, I promise – my editor strikes them all out with a red pen – but there is a wealth of heart, laughter and light-up Santa hats.

The novella is an Amazon exclusive, available on Kindle and in paperback, along with a stocking-filler-sized hardback edition, and an Audible Audiobook is following later this month, narrated by Olivia Coleman yours truly.

I’ll share news of other forthcoming books here soon, amongst which two of my favourite heroines from previous bestsellers are set to stage a come-back. Meanwhile, it has been a rollicking joy to deck Compton Magna on boughs of holly, and I hope that this novella will lead to many more featuring the village and characters old and new.

As always, I’m eternally grateful for all the support and encouragement I receive from this blog and from my social media shares. Your replies, reviews, messages and shout-outs are invaluable. Thank you!
