Welcome to Catpurrcino, the cosy cat café where you’ll fall in love with every cat you meet – and maybe even one special human…

When Emmie’s aunt offers her a job at Catpurrcino, it is the fresh start she needs after a rough year. Now, in the lead-up to Christmas, Emmie can’t imagine anything more purr-fect than pouring hot chocolate for customers and taking care of the café’s many feline residents.

Needing an extra pair of hands for the holidays, Emmie’s aunt hires Jared as a driver. Emmie is immediately struck by how tall and handsome he is, but there is something guarded about Jared, not to mention his allergy to cats. Emmie could never fall for someone who can’t be around her furry friends ­- and she doesn’t have much time to spare, anyway.

Until an unexpected blizzard arrives on Christmas Eve.

Trapped in the café with Jared and the cats, Emmie discovers Jared has been holding on to more than one secret – and is in desperate need of someone to help him lay his past to rest.

What seems like the most disastrous Christmas might not be such a cat-astrophe after all. Will being snowed in finally open Jared up and let Emmie into his heart?

Pour yourself a mulled wine and settle down with a mince pie to enjoy this warm, witty and wonderful festive romance. Perfect for fans of The Pumpkin Spice Café, Sarah Morgan and Catherine Walsh.

I went to IKEA recently, and someone had placed th I went to IKEA recently, and someone had placed this little stuffed cat inside a basket-house. Not sure if the basket is actually meant to be a house or just an oddly shaped decoration, but it's the perfect shape to house a stuffed animal, and it made me smile. 🐱 

The wider world feels very heavy right now (an understatement if ever there was one), but small moments of human fun, creativity, and whimsy like this one make me smile. Hope you've all been managing to find small moments of joy if you can. 🤍

Now I'm off back to my editing cave where I'll be working on some excellent client books. 📝
If you dig around on the internet long enough, you If you dig around on the internet long enough, you’ll probably encounter some of these myths about publishing…

The bookshop one definitely caught me out when I was a new traditionally published author! 👀 I was lucky enough to find my book in some Waterstones branches, but it wasn't in all of them – not even my local one, which I had been writing in for years! 

Are any of these surprising to you?

I was inspired by a recent Substack from @jackstra I was inspired by a recent Substack from @jackstrangeauthor talking about his journey writing romance and how it was almost fated. My own road to this genre was pretty unusual and something I truly didn't expect, even though it now feels very right for me, so I wrote about it in my own newsletter.

You can read it at the link in my bio. 🤍
