1) Tell me a little bit about you
I live in Bedfordshire, minutes away from beautiful countryside with several herds of red deer. I have had many jobs over the years, I’ve sold double glazing, I’ve worked as a hotel receptionist, in a bank and as a teacher. It all helps to give me plenty to write about in my stories
2) What do you love about Christmas?
Everything, the cold days and snuggling up indoors with a great book, going for long wintery walks, the beautiful decorations, the christmas jumpers, seeing friends and family, buying presents, the Christmas TV and films, the great food, the sweets and treats, it is absolutely my favourite time of the year.
3) What do you hate about Christmas?
oh nothing, i love it all. I suppose that there is a a huge build up and after one day it’s all over
4) What is your favourite Christmas book?
oh there are so many, the ones that sticks in my mind are Twelve Dates of Christmas by Lisa Dickenson which is gorgeous and funny and recently Christmas Wedding in the Gingerbread Cafe by Rebecca Raisin which is just sparkly and beautiful
5) What is your favourite Christmas song?
oh i love so many of them, the new ones and the old. The Pogues Fairy Tale of New York, and the one for John Lewis advert last year sung by Lily Allen ‘Somewhere only we know’ but i love the big Slade Christmas sings too.
6) What was your best Christmas?
The ones when I was a child were always good. We didn’t have alot of money but my parents always made it special. I remember helping my mom to make Christmas cake and tree decorations. It was just a magical time
7) What was your best Christmas present?
My pet dog Bob, we had him as a puppy and he fit in my dad’s hand and he grew and grew and grew. He was such a character, he was gentle with us even though me and my brother would climb all over him. He was fiercely protective of us and would always want to sit on our laps for cuddles even though he was huge. We paid £5 for him and had him for 17 wonderful years
8) What was your worst Christmas present?
A cardigan my nan knitted for me that had 5 stripes on one side and three in the other, it had 7 buttons and only 4 button holes
9) Describe your ideal Christmas
Just time spent with family and friends, eating good food and playing some great games
10) What do you want for Christmas this year?
I never know what to ask for for Christmas, my friends ask and I never know. I just hope my friends and families have happy and healthy Christmases. If I had one wish for me it would be that my book does really well. Top 100 would be amazing.
