Stocking Fillers: Twelve Short Stories for Christmas (Short Story Collections, #3) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This collection of twelve humorous short Christmas stories will delight anyone struggling with their own plans for the festive season. The tales form an entertaining catalogue of how characters of all ages respond to the anxieties that abound at this time of year, from a small boy who tries to give Santa lessons in time management to the elderly lady who is marking what's likely to be her last Christmas. Others tackle such important questions as: - Will you ever get everything ready in time? - Will everyone like their presents? - Will you like yours? - How will Father Christmas fit us all in? - And who is the real Santa, anyway? Unlike many festive books, this collection does not sugar-coat every Christmas experience, and a few of the characters aren't exactly lovable, but they're certainly memorable. But ultimately it's a heartwarming collection and an easy, quick read to be enjoyed by anyone who loves the traditional Christmas. Whether you choose to spread out the stories across the traditional 12 Days of Christmas, or to consume them all in one sitting, once you've read "Stocking Fillers", you'll never view Christmas in quite the same way again - and we mean that in a good way!

Autorenporträt

I write warm, witty, feel-good contemporary fiction inspired by life in the English village where I have lived for nearly thirty years. My work has been shortlisted for the UK Bookbrunch Selfies Awards 2020, given for the best independently-published fiction in the UK. My Sophie Sayers Village Mystery series begins with Best Murder in Show and, when complete, will run the course of a calendar year in the life of a classic English Cotswold village. The sixth, Murder Your Darlings, was published in the spring of 2020, and I am now writing the final book in the series, Murder, Lost and Found. A bonus eighth book is also in the pipeline! I'm also writing a new romantic comedy mystery series set in the staffroom of an English girls' boarding school. St Bride's. The first book, Secrets at St Bride's, was published in August 2019, and the second, Stranger at St Bride's, was published in July 2020. There will be six books in this series following the course of an academic year. If you'd like me to let you know when I'm about to publish a new book, why not join my free Readers' Club? You'll find details on my author website. You'll also receive a free short ebook, The Pride of Peacocks, featuring Sophie Sayers and friends and introducing St Bride's School for Girls.
