Are you ready...

to talk about Christmas?!

Hello everyone!

Is it too early to mention Christmas? I hope not, because I'm already making a list of the Christmas books I want to read and as soon as the weather returns to normal (wet and windy!) I'll be diving in!

So, here's my writing update...Christmas at the Chateau is now ready to go and will be published in October and I'm just putting the finishing touches to my next Emma Royal book Secrets of the Palace Girls before I send that to my editor at the end of this month!

It's been a busy summer writing but I've loved every minute of it!

Soon I'll be starting on the last book in the Chateau series and I feel so sad to be saying goodbye to all these wonderful romantic locations. At least our last stop is in Italy, one of my favourite countries!

Tell me, what's on your Christmas reading list? I'd love to know your recommended reads!

Lots of love,
Katie/Annabel

Readers are loving Christmas at the Chateau!

"This was a lovely read."


"This was a lovely addition to the series and I can’t wait for another installment."

Life has gone a little bit downhill for Naomi Winters…

Ever since her ex-husband Ollie filed for a divorce last Christmas, Naomi is a self-confessed scrooge. She hates her job, has exactly zero hobbies, and on top of that she’s all alone this holiday season.

Spurred on by her best-friend Mia – who has invited her to spend Christmas at her snow-kissed Chateau in the Swiss Alps – she decides it’s time for change.

But, when she arrives, she’s shocked to see Mia’s big brother Gabriel. It’s been fifteen years since they last saw eachother, forcing her to face memories she’d rather forget.

As Naomi grapples with getting her life back on track, she throws herself into various festive activities, and she can’t seem to escape Gabriel this time…

Will he manage to thaw her icy heart, or is she on a downward slope to disappointment?

My new Emma Royal book is out now and available in ASDA!

Buckingham Palace, 1951

The nation is on the road to recovery after World War Two. And so is Milly Hendry.

When her parents were killed in the Blitz, she was taken in by her aunt who works in the prestigious Royal Army of Cleaners. Buckingham Palace has since become like home to Milly, and the people she works with like family.

Though tensions in the palace are rising as the King's health is declining, the staff gather below-stairs to celebrate Milly's 21st birthday. But her day quickly takes a turn when some unexpected post arrives.

Could a letter containing secrets from the past change Milly's whole future?

Available from Asda!!

Another great read from Sarah Bennett and I so enjoyed my trip back to Juniper Meadows.

As usual, she leaves you wanting more and now I have to wait to visit again!

Amelia Riley and Ben Lawson have something in common – fathers who have kept secrets...

Sandy always writes brilliantly feisty heroines and swoony heroes and this one was no different!
