The Owl and The Turkey (Single Short Story, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A light-hearted, old-fashioned short story for the festive season. Find out what happens when a new young Queen, bored of wild boar, challenges her huntsmen to find a new dish fit for the royal Christmas feast. Is this tale the real reason that we eat turkey at Christmas? Probably not, as I made it all up. Happy Christmas to all who read it, whatever you're having for the your Christmas dinner.

(No birds were harmed in the writing of this book.)

This story was previously published on the author's website (www.youngbyname.me) and was subsequently chosen to feature behind a door of the Mumsnet Advent Calendar 2012.

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.
