I wrote this book in record time. Well, a record for me, that is . I started it in February and was able to send it to my proofreader and book formatter by the beginning of October. There are two reasons for this. One: I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to my characters and the world I had created and felt their story deserved a good resolution. And, two: heeding the words of author friends Jessica Redland and Sharon Booth who assured me that sequels/series are much simpler to write and that Christmas themed books sold throughout the year. So, rolling up my sleeves I sat down at the pc and returned to the magical setting of Lochaber and Creag na h-lolaire (gaelic – Eagles Crag)

I don’t want to reveal the plot but I was greatly assisted in research for this book by Alice Twaite (retired midwife). My proofreader Mary Bate also took a great weight off my mind as I can’t see my own errors. (honestly, can any one?)

I have also been lucky to find a brilliant cover designer in Gail Bradley who is a dream to work with.

Here’s the blurb ……

“This tale weaves together the magic of Scotland’s breathtaking scenery and the complexities of relationships, set against a natural, snowy wonderland.”

 As the harsh Lochaber winter approaches and with Halley expecting a baby, living in the converted Airstream caravan, Beag air Bheag, becomes impractical. Tor’s family home – Eagles Crag – offers shelter, but his mother’s inevitable meddling is holding them back from moving there. Instead, they find refuge in the Dower House and prepare for the arrival of their baby with optimism and hope, embracing the magic of a Highland Christmas, culminating in the Ghillies’ Ball on Hogmanay.

However, an old flame of Tor’s rents the nearby bothy threatening to disrupt their idyllic life . . .

Is their love strong enough to survive the trials of family, winter and a ghost from the past?
