Katie enjoys writing cosy crime novels (sometimes!). This book of short stories harks back to when she was attending a writing group.
These stories were her Christmas presents each year to the group.
Like her books, they’re just a bit of fun. Some seasonal, some romantic and couple which are a warning to husbands!
