Cover reveal: Mrs Clutterbucks Christmas Emporium

When Mabel Clutterbuck opens a Christmas shop in sleepy Merrycombe Bay, she has no idea how
much her little emporium is about to change the hearts and minds of the people who live there.
Mabel Clutterbuck reluctantly returns to the seaside town she grew up in to be closer to her ailing
mother. However, the old woman’s fading memories keep confusing Mabel with her sister Clara -
the sister who sacrificed everything to care for their mother before recently disappearing without
trace.

Determined to breathe new life into the old shop Clara used for her crafting endeavours, Mabel
transforms it into Mrs Clutterbuck's Christmas Emporium, a magical haven filled with vintage
decorations, festive treasures, and a little bit of wonder.

The true magic, however, lies in Mabel's Lucky Dip Gift Boxes. Carefully chosen for the hidden
heartaches of the customers who buy them, each one brings comfort, hope, and unexpected joy.
Not everyone in Merrycombe Bay is convinced, though, especially the formidable ladies of the local
WI!

As Christmas approaches, an unexpected romantic encounter gives Mabel a glimpse of a future she
never thought possible. And while she helps others find happiness, she begins to heal the parts of
herself she thought would remain broken.

But beneath the sparkle of fairy lights and festive cheer, old wounds refuse to stay buried. Why did
Clara leave Merrycombe Bay? And if she returns, will Mabel lose everything she's finally found -
including the future she never thought she deserved.

Heartwarming, uplifting and sprinkled with Christmas magic, Mrs Clutterbuck's Christmas Emporium is a story of family secrets, second chances, unexpected romance, and the power of kindness.

Cover Reveal: Don't Forget the Crazy

 

Her lists are life or death.

“If it’s on the list, I have to do it.”

Milli Morgan lives by her lists. Groceries, goals, organising her boss – nothing escapes being

ticked off her ever-growing to-do lists. Order brings her comfort; control keeps the chaos at

bay. Everyone can rely on Milli.

Until the day new items start appearing on her list in red ink.

At first, she blames stress. A prank. Someone playing mind-games. But one instruction on

the list refuses to be erased and demands to be completed.

A command so terrible she would have to be crazy to tick it off.

Don’t Forget the Crazy is a dark psychological suspense short story about obsession,

perfection, and the dangerous pressure of always being “the good girl.” Fans of Gillian

Flynn, Lisa Jewell, Patricia Highsmith, and Shirley Jackson will devour this chilling portrait

of order unravelling into darkness.

Title: A Nightingale in Parkleigh Square

The sparkling NEW Christmas Romance from the author of A Wedding in Cornwall!

Quirky, creative, and dedicated to their work, window dressers Nina and Molly can’t believe the news from the upscale staging and design company which occasionally hires them as extras during the Christmas season: their tiny New York company has just been tapped to create a magical Christmas window and showroom display for London’s newest designer fashion boutique! 

With their trusty assistant in tow, they catch a plane across the Pond, making their way to the historic former department store with a unique past in Parkleigh Square—and their once-in-a-lifetime chance to impress the ultimate client, legendary fashion designer Simone Van Stewart.

But a humiliating encounter with the London branch’s new frosty director reveals a tragic truth — the duo was hired by mistake. With time running out before the store’s unveiling, and the best window stagers already booked, however, Nina and Molly have been given a tentative trial period to prove they can do the job – and they’ll need a miracle to survive it. Battling deadlines, a delivery disaster, and their own personal doubts, it seems their dream assignment could soon spiral into their worst nightmare.

Not everybody at the exclusive store for Van Stewart is against them, however. Rugged, handsome fashion designer Vincent is supportive of their chances, and makes Nina’s heart race whenever their paths cross. Can she risk romance with an ocean between their two worlds, and with all her future plans and dreams at stake? Her friend Molly worries she’s getting in over her head—but Molly has her own complications to worry about, both personal and professional, as the dream team from Queens searches for the key to make Parkleigh Square’s newest business come alive with Christmas magic, which may just lie in histories both beloved and forgotten.

Filled with flurries of romance, friendship, humor, and heartwarming revelations, A Nightingale in Parkleigh Square is the must-read new release of the Christmas season.
