COVER REVEAL – Christmas in Cornwall…
Christmas is coming and that means a festive read or two. But the excitement of Christmas is all about the build up and the excitement of what is to be unwrapped, found under the tree. So like the lovely little Christmas elves who used to bring me a book or two early when I was little (thanks mum) my excitement lies with the cover reveals and the promises of novels filled with stockings hung over a roaring fire.
Just imagine, a novel or short story that just begs you to sit down beside that fire, blanket over your knees, a mince pie by your side and a box of tissues incase things get a bit too emotional.
And how about if all this took place in Cornwall?
Liz Fenwick is your Christmas elf bringing you a present to feast on that has less calories than that mince pie of yours. (Depends what else you eat when reading it) So are you ready?
Twas 6 weeks
Before Christmas
When all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
The stockings all hung
By the chimney with care
In hopes
That Liz Fenwick
Soon would be there
The bookworms were nestled
All safe in their beds
While visions of book covers
Danced in their heads…..
And those at Orion
In their finest attire
were waiting all dolled up
beside the big fire
When out on the lawn
There arose such a clatter
I sprang from my seat
To see what was the matter
Away to the window
I flew like a flash
Tore open the shutters
And threw up the sash
There standing before me
In the Narnia scene
was the lovely Liz Fenwick
Her smile all agleam
She entered the cottage
and sat by the fire
Impressed as she was
by Orion’ s attire
“We’re ready and waiting!”
I gave her a wine
A mince pie soon followed
The clock it did chime
And then she did show me
A book with a door
“so open the first page, pop in and explore”
The book is a story
of a woman with fears
who thinks that this Christmas
will all end in tears
Whose heart has all broken
Whose Christmas this year
will be filled with not joy
but with utter despair
Until there will be three
guests who will show
that a heart can be mended
and fixed with a glow
A present from Liz and
her publishing elves
An Orion short story
to put on your shelves!
A Cornish Christmas Carol is a festive delight to enjoy with a hot cup of mulled wine, perfect for fans of Jenny Colgan and Karen Swan.
EXCLCUSIVE cover for @liz_fenwick’s A CORNISH CHRISTMAS CAROL, coming Nov 25th! A 2nd exclusive reveal to come next week!
