The Complete Christmas Cozy Collection
Author: Shéa MacLeod
Publisher: Shéa MacLeod
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
This collection contains five complete holiday themed cozy mysteries from USA Today Best-Selling author, Shéa MacLeod: Lady Rample and the Ghost of Christmas Past When Aunt Butty gets an idea in her head, there is simply no stopping her. At least, Lady Rample has never found a way. And what Aunt Butty wants is a proper, old-fashioned English country Christmas. So it's no surprise when Lady Rample finds herself celebrating the holidays deep in the Cotswolds. And naturally, Aunt Butty requires everything to be perfect, from the Yule log to the wassail. Unfortunately, the two women get more than they bargain for when a visitor from Lady Rample's past follows her from London, intent on wreaking havoc. Lady Rample and the Yultide Caper A peculiar Christmas party invitation leads our intrepid Lady Rample to Winter Haven and the Yule Manor Inn run by a secretive proprietress who may or may not be a witch, at least according to the locals. What's meant to be a festive event turns into a mystery with a missing host, disappearing Father Christmases, and a blackmailer who may or may not be dead. Fortunately, Lady Rample has several allies close at hand to help not only with the singing of carols and drinking of celebratory cocktails, but also to unravel the clues to this unusual mystery. A Christmas Caper (Sugar Martin Vintage Cozy Mysteries) With Christmas fast approaching and her bank accounts woefully low, Sugar Martin is spending her first holiday in Meres Reach, England instead of back home in Oregon. When the festivities are interrupted by an urgent call from her employer, she heads straight to London with Tippy in tow only to discover that her great-great-aunt Euphegenia has left her a final bequest—and a mysterious mission. Christmas is a time for magic and miracles and Sugar will need both if she's to succeed in her quest. The Poison in the Pudding (Viola Roberts Cozy Mysteries) With a book deadline and Christmas fast approaching, the last thing Viola Roberts has time for is a party. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what she gets roped into by the Mayor of Astoria. Party planning it is. Complete with Christmas puddings. Everything is humming along just fine when suddenly the guests begin to drop like flies! With both her reputation and her favorite Christmas cookies threatened, Viola has no time to waste. She’s got to find the poisoner before somebody ends up dead. Witchmas Spirits (Season of the Witch Paranormal Women's Fiction Cozy Mysteries) A bookstore of my very own and a Victorian house on the beach in the magical town of Miracle Bay means I get to finally relax and enjoy life—right? Wrong. After a Yule-tide tarot reading goes awry, my best friend Emerald is suddenly overwhelmed by a series of unfortunate events, each one more dangerous than the last. If Emerald and I don’t find the answer before Christmas and Yule arrive, the enchantment tangled around her is going to be the least of our problems. Join Juniper “JJ” Jones on her a magical escapade and fall in love with Miracle Bay. These are stand alone holiday stories which can be read in any order. You do not have to have read the rest of the series to enjoy these fun reads!

Jambusters
Author: Julie Summers
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 085720047X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
The compelling true story that inspired the hugely successful major ITV drama series HOME FIRES – now in its second season. The Second World War was the WI's finest hour. The whole of its previous history - two decades of educating, entertaining and supporting women and campaigning on women's issues - culminated in the enormous collective responsibility felt by the members to 'do their bit' for Britain. With all the vigour, energy and enthusiasm at their disposal, a third of a million country women set out to make their lives and the lives of those around them more bearable in what they described as 'a period of insanity'. Through archive material and interviews with many WI members, Julie Summers takes us behind the scenes, revealing their nitty-gritty approach to the daily problems presented by the conflict. Jambusters is the fascinating story of how the Women's Institute pulled rural Britain through the war with pots of jam and a spirit of make-do-and-mend.

Christmas Blossoms

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Zhang Jian is a master artist of interior glass painting. He celebrated Christmas as a child before the Communist Revolution overturned his simple and beautiful world. But he never forgot the sights, smells, good cheer, and happy anticipation of that joyous season. Familiarity with the enchantments of Christmas is a rare thing in China. Throughout his life, quiet Jian draws on this private inspiration to craft especially lovely Christmas ornaments for girls and boys across two oceans, bringing financial success to the glass works factory where he is employed. After Midnight Mass, overcome with sacred emotion, old Jian designs and paints one last ornament with the intention of inspiring the men and women of his country to understand who they are in relation to the Christ child. Christmas Blossoms is an impassioned and imaginative tale that explores the fascinating irony of our most cherished Christmas objects, both sacred and secular, produced by the artists and craftsmen of Communist China. In their imaginations, in the depth of their hearts, what do these artisans think of the mangers, the shepherds, Santa Claus, and Mother Mary? Of the star, the bells, the holly, and the Wise Men? Most significantly, what do they make of the Holy Child Who exists at the heart of the West? A story for young and old, parents and children alike, this beautifully illustrated novella captures how the Christmas spirit endures and stirs hearts despite the antagonistic forces of commercialism and oppression--and it will touch your heart as well. Prepare to be swept away as you witness the precious moment when Christmas returned to China.
