My
third novel, The Cosy Christmas Tea Shop, is now released both in paperback and
e-books. It’s been a hectic summer writing this book in four months flat, but I’ve
had such a lovely response to it so far, with many reviewers saying it’s even
better than The Cosy Teashop in the Castle – so that’s just wonderful. Thank
you.
And
yesterday, the Kindle book actually got to No1 in the Amazon UK Contemporary
Fiction Charts. How amazing is that! Really quite incredible if you look back
to my posts on the Submission Rollercoaster and Riding the Rejections from just
a few years ago. So, it really does go to show, you should never give up on your
dreams. Work hard, learn along the way, enjoy what you do (I’ve always
loved the actual writing, that’s what kept me going!) and persevere. Like Ellie
in the Cosy Teashop stories, keep striving for your dreams – you never quite
know where they will lead you.
The
Cosy Christmas Tea Shop stays with Claverham Castle. It’s a gorgeous
Christmassy love story, with some great new characters for you to meet as well
as the old favourites. There are festive cakes and bakes, a Christmas Craft
Fayre, a beautiful Christmas Wedding, and lots more happening. It’s the sort of
book to curl up with on a cold winter’s night with a hot chocolate and the fire
on. And it will certainly put you in the mood for Christmas.
The
good news is that there will be more novels from me next year as I’m about to
sign a further two book deal with HarperCollins. So you can look forward to a
poignant, heart-warming love story set in the stunning village of Bamburgh on the Northumberland
coast, with its beautiful golden-sand beach and castle backdrop, and there’s
also going to be a further “Cosy” book for the autumn. I have a feeling
chocolate will be featuring in this one - I’m really looking forward to doing the
research on this book!!
Thanks
for reading this blog, enjoying my books, and for all the wonderful support I
have received on my writing journey so far!
Best
wishes,
Caroline
