How many shopping days until Christmas?
One of the great joys of being a novelist is when you get the first glimpse of the cover of your new book. So I am beyond excited to share with you the UK and US & Canadian covers for Christmas Shopaholic!
The latest instalment of the adventures of Becky Brandon (née Bloomwood) comes out in October, and I can’t wait for you to read it. I love both the UK (left) and US & Canadian (right) covers so much – and both editions are available to order now 🙂 Find out more on the book page, here.
Remember, it’s never too early to start Christmas shopping…
Love,
