Book Description
Molly Compton is going home for Christmas to spend the holidays with her family, but this is not such a joyful time that she’s actually looking forward to it after what happened to her last year. For Molly is adamant that she will ‘grin and bear it’ and get through it with the aid of the odd glass of wine come, hail or snow. Even if it means digging up ghosts from her past to sort out the present and help with the future, then she will cope somehow. So with a sprig of mistletoe to hand and a will of iron, Molly Compton is determined to enjoy all the fun of the festivities if it kills her and that is only if she doesn't kill someone else first. WARNING: This book contains (1) No guaranteed fuzzy feelings of a sentimental nature. (2) No recipes whatsoever to be found written inside its pages. (3) No religious explanations are in this story about the true meaning of Christmas. However, it does contain plenty of Christmas cheer and merriment and yuletide yearnings in this festive funny tale about an ordinary woman who dreads having a Christmas from hell. Only, could she end up having the time of her life instead? This British short novel is the first in a Christmas Comedy Trilogy and to complete the trio of books, just look out for Mistletoe And Wine 2 followed by Mistletoe And Wine 3.

Book Description
Molly Compton is once more travelling back home to her parent’s house for yet another Christmas to treasure in the memory banks and just like the previous time, it doesn’t turn out quite the way she’d planned it. But with all her presents bought online (tick box and pat on back for being so organised) and with her Secret Santa gift being left safely unopened on her work desk (well that’s another box ticked and wisely so) since she really didn’t want an embarrassing repeat of her Christmas past. No, this Christmas was going to have to be strictly a family affair (tick box for being such a good daughter/sister). Since her boyfriend Harvey is working overseas so he’ll miss all the joy and merriment that she’s bound to have despite this fact (and tick box for being such a lovely girlfriend who didn’t make that much of a fuss about his absence, or the upset if he doesn’t make it back for the anniversary ‘of when they’d first kissed’). As she could have found a way to endure it better, if only it wasn’t for the surprise or two or should she make that several in the pipeline before the week is out. After this, it is ‘every man for himself’ when Molly gets the sinking feeling that nothing will ever be the same again (and you can forget ticking anymore-bloody boxes because it is game over). Join Molly, family and friends for a festive funny tale that will remind you, just what Christmas is all about and that being together no matter what happens next is only half the fun of it. This is the second book of British, Christmas comedy short novels and to be sure of more entertaining reads please be on the lookout for book three to complete the trilogy.

Book Description
Dear Santa, I’ve been a good girl all year, especially to my sister who’d made me lose weight before her wedding or I would not have been allowed to attend it. And some people have a strict dress code at their nuptials, but Alice insisted on a strict diet for the bridal party so as not to spoil the pictures by having a ‘fatty’ in the main ones (which were her words not mine, so no offence big guy). I have loved and done my best by my family, my friends and most of all, the special one who shares my soul, my bed (but not at my parents house for they won’t allow it under their roof if we’re not married). And I don’t mean my dog either when I mention bringing me joy beyond my expectations (although he does matter hugely to me) but I speak about the great love of my life, being the one and only Harvey Brands (so do ignore and excuse the happy tear stains on the ink). I’ve included a little wish list if you’d care to look it over and perhaps find it in your generous heart to grant me at least one or two of them, then I would be eternally grateful and believe in the magic of Christmas forever and a day. 1. Please make my sister Alice be nice to me. 2. Please, make this upcoming year the best ever. 3. Please, make the following week dry and bright with cold, not freezing to death weather. 4. Please, make this Christmas/New Year a joyous occasion for everyone I know and respect. 5. Please, make everything turn out perfect if it is going to be my last Christmas at home. 6. Please, make this winter white wedding the stuff of dreams, not nightmares. 7. Please, make my gift a spa retreat, as I need it to relieve the stress of organising a wedding. 8. Please, make wishes 1-6 come true and I can live without the spa date if I really had to. Thank you for taking the time to read my begging letter. I fully understand why you didn’t bring me a million pounds last time, it was silly of me to think that you’d carry that kind of ready cash on your person to deliver down the chimney (which would make it ‘dirty money’) when everyone knows you only carry toys and presents in that sack. If I really want to win the lottery then I will have to buy a ticket like everyone else I suppose so here is to winning my fortune in the future, cheers. Yours faithfully, Molly Compton (age 30⅓). XXX P.S. This is the third and final book in the Christmas Comedy Trilogy of British short novels and comes with warm wishes all round for a Happy Holidays and a peaceful New Year once again. While inviting you to read all about the farcical frivolity of sharing this Yuletide tale with our Molly, family and friends for a funny, fun-filled festivity and together we will be sure to make it one to remember.
