Read Chapter One of "Mince Pies and Mistletoe"
Della Hayward is not about to let a bit of snow get in her way. But when her car spins off the road in a remote country lane she has no choice but to follow the man in the fedora hat who comes to her rescue.
Read Chapter Two of "Mince Pies and Mistletoe"
Della's Christmas plans take a turn for the worse when Kit informs her she’ll be spending Christmas at the Manor. The last thing she wants is to be beholden to a stranger, even one in the shape of the extremely hot Kit McArthur.
As a teenager I fell in love with the books of Jilly Cooper and have been a romance fan ever since. I live with my husband, two teenage children and mad English Setter in the Bedfordshire countryside. New Voices has been a great opportunity and such fun See lizzie’s full profile

Please, please keep writing this story. I love it. It is so heart-warming. I first got into reading M&B as a teenager and the best stories I read were the ones where I could imagine that I was the heroine. You capture that perfectly for me. x

Hi Ella
Thanks so much for your comments. I'm really pleased you enjoyed Chapter 2. Barbara Hannay has been amazing, really encouraging and supportive and it's been a huge honour to work with her.
I will definitely bear in mind your points about the beginning of Chapter 1. I can see it's a bit of a slow burn so will look at upping the pace when I come to editing.
Thanks too to everyone who's posted here. Every single comment is very much appreciated. It's been lovely popping over and reading your views, such a boost. Will definitely keep those comments in mind as I finish the book.
Thanks again.
