If you visit my website at you can write in my guestbook, join the newsletter group or email me – and you will also find me on Youtube, talking about writing! You can find me on Twitter and I also have a Facebook fanpage. I wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas, with lots of good reading! I do know where the tree and decorations are, though! This year I have just moved house and still have the edits of the new book, Chocolate Shoes and Wedding Blues, to finish before I can unpack – so my Christmas wish is to excavate the dining table from under the boxes and have at least one room totally sorted out. Then it’s time to chill out with a glass off whatever takes your fancy and watch Love Actually – that’s a must. You have enough food and drink to withstand a small siege, an excitingly-wrapped heap of presents (and giving is so much more fun than receiving, isn’t it?), and your loved ones have arrived safely home. There’s always a magical moment on Christmas Eve when the house is clean, decorated and scented with pine, spices and anticipation. Soon I will be baking and freezing mincepies too and making mincemeat flapjacks (recipe in the back of The Magic of Christmas – dead easy!) I love Christmas! I’ve already made two Christmas cakes and have the dried fruit soaking in dark rum at this very moment for two more. I often seem to be writing Christmas books in summer time, but it doesn’t stop me enjoying the whole run up to the actual event.
