This week on YouTube… my autumn morning routine

I love watching routine videos on Youtube so I decided to make one to show you what I like to do on an autumn morning. This is a working-from-home day so hopefully it gives you an insight into how I get ready for a day’s writing at this time of year, and I hope it makes you feel all the cosy autumnal vibes too!

In case you missed it on Wednesday, I also uploaded a Boots haul this week and I found lots of items with money off so check that out if you fancy treating yourself to some new beauty and makeup bits:

Please drop me a comment on the videos if you enjoyed them and I’d love you to follow me too. Have a lovely Sunday everyone! xxx

A FREE Cosy Christmas book!

There may be no such thing as a free lunch but you can get a FREE book yay! Book one in my bestselling Glendale Hall series is free on both Kindle and iBooks. So if you fancy a cosy festive read then GO, GO, GO!!!

‘WOW! From the first page I was absolutely hooked…Would highly recommend to get you in a feel good mood!’ (5 stars) Netgalley reviewer

Uplifting and full of heart – this is an utter treat of a book! The perfect feelgood read for fans of Heidi Swain, Cathy Bramley and Sue Moorcroft, from the bestselling author of Summer at the Kindness Cafe. 

Beth Williams hasn’t been home for ten years. After falling pregnant at sixteen, she ran away from her family and the imposing Scottish estate where she grew up, working hard to build a life for herself and daughter Isabelle – but now she’s returning to Glendale Hall.

As Beth tries to mend her broken family ties, and fights to bring the community of Glendale back together, she realises that the story she has told herself for a decade might well be a very different one from the truth. Even though she ran from Glendale it has never left her heart. And, she soon realises, neither has Drew – Beth’s first love.

Will Beth be able to forgive her mother and grandmother (and herself) for what happened ten years ago? What will Drew say when he discovers the secret she’s been keeping from him for so long? Can a festive trail bring the village back together?

Will returning to Glendale bring back the old magic that she’s been missing – or will Beth be forced to run away from it all over again?

A charming, magical novel that will warm your heart – the perfect read to curl up with this winter. Fans of Trisha Ashley, Debbie Johnson and Cathy Bramley will love this gorgeously romantic read.

‘a gorgeous feel-good story…I’m already looking forward to the next one!’ Jessica Redland, author of Finding Love at Hedgehog Hollow

‘I loved this sparkling, feel good holiday romance.’ Teri Wilson, bestselling author of Unleashing Mr. Darcy and Christmas Charms

What happens when love takes you to unexpected places?

Heather Douglas appears to have it all. But living on a farm in the Scottish Highlands with her partner, Rory Fraser, all while bringing up their adorable toddler, Harry, isn’t easy. As a former librarian, Heather is worried that she’ll never fully fit into life on Fraser Farm. And after the death of her beloved mum eight years ago, Heather feels lost, as well as guilty for holding back accepting Rory’s marriage proposal because she can’t imagine her wedding without her mother.

So when ex-boyfriend, Stewart, appears in the village of Glendale, it’s a shock to the system. The man who broke her heart years ago now has big plans for the neighbouring farm and wants Heather to be part of the development. Knowing that she’s living a very different life to the one they had planned at university leaves Heather wondering if she has made the right choices since she and Stewart broke up. Especially when things start to go very wrong on the farm …

This Christmas, Heather will need to face her fears and let go of the past or risk losing everything. She will need love, faith, and a whole lot of hope!

Return to the beautiful Highlands village of Glendale with the latest book in the bestselling Glendale series – the perfect cosy, uplifting, romantic read for fans of Heidi Swain, Milly Johnson and Holly Martin.
