A Christmas special! The<\/strong> Christmas Kiss and Other Stories<\/strong><\/a>, a collection of seasonal
stories to warm your heart.<\/p>\n

Step back into the Sixties, when Christmas Eve was the most exciting night of the year and Christmas dinner meant roast chicken and the thrilling possibility of a silver sixpence in the Christmas pudding. Catch up with Marie and Johnny from A Sense of Occasion<\/a> and Sandra and Linda from The Saturday Girls<\/a>, go out on a call with a fireman on Christmas Eve, solve the riddle of a mysterious Christmas card, consider the effect of the Christmas gift of an exotic tie pin, and meet some new puppies. With the addition of some heart-stopping short, short stories – each of exactly 100 words. <\/p>\n

The perfect book to curl up with on Christmas Eve. And ideal to slip into the Christmas stocking of someone special.<\/p>\n

Cover information<\/strong><\/p>\n

Award-winning artist Christine Wilkinson<\/a> designed the cover for The Christmas Kiss, as well as the covers of A Sense of Occasion, the short story Christmas at Schmidt’s, and the original cover for the Saturday Girls, when it was Beyond the Beehive. She was awarded the 2023 Burberry Prize of \u00a320,000 for her entry in the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition. Congratulations and thanks to Chris for all the help she has given the books!<\/p>\n
