WINTERLAND AT THE SECONDHAND BOOKWORM

I am really pleased to be able to bring Book 11 in The Secondhand Bookworm series to share on Kindle, KindleUnlimited and Amazon with all bookshop lovers soon. It was great fun to write and is a good read if I say so myself - right up your street if you enjoy rickety old shops, sprawling old castles, rivalries, romances, intrigue, a book with a curse, hidden cyphers, duels and fist-fights, quirky English humour, secret maps and snowy festivals all set around a bookshop. If you haven't already, why not give The Secondhand Bookworm series a go and get a head start on the story as the characters and themes develop over the whole series? Each novel spends a week (or 6 as in the case of book 7) in The Secondhand Bookworm; a higgledy-piggledy bookshop with three floors, a winding staircase spiralling all the way to the attic (and a room filled with paperback fictions), and is led by Nora Jolly, a young woman with a lot of patience, quirky English humour, a love of books and who is manager of the town's pretty eccentric bookshop.

Book 11 - WINTERLAND AT THE SECONDHAND BOOKWORM - is set during the week of a very heavy snowstorm in Castletown, in the county of Cole. Not only is the Winterland Festival taking place in the town, but there's a Festival of Hours in the museum. Explore the museum's rooms of cases displaying a fascinating array of Book of Hours (with some intriguing finds among them) and meet Mrs Findon and Mrs Goring who will make sure you don't take photos, touch the displays or go without learning everything there is to learn about each and every book! The Secondhand Bookworm is displaying James (Nora fiancé) the Duke of Cole's infamous D'Aubigney Book of Hours in the front room of the bookshop and things start to get interesting. The immediate arrival of the Duke of Cole's cousin, Sir Robert Knightley, sets in motion an unfolding series of events. Sir Robert sees himself as the rightful owner of the book and causes tension and drama, with duels, threats, break-ins and the usual bookshop chaos and fun all around a dangerous yet thrilling discovery.

Old faces, new faces, customers, tourists, romance and rivalry, book-buying, book-selling, book calls and festivities, all with Nora's bookshop colleagues and friends, abound, as usual. Spend a week in The Secondhand Bookworm in this new novel available soon!

Back in 2008 my own, real, bookshop colleagues suggested I write our experiences as we sat down and recounted each day with a good laugh or a cringe and a shudder. The Secondhand Bookworm was born, loosely based on real experiences and expanded into a fun, clean, often exciting 'fictional' read.

The series of novels are set around Nora Jolly, a woman in her late twenties, who runs a bookshop in Castletown in the county of Cole. Along her journey through the seasons, the town festivals, the book buying and selling adventures, newcomers and endless books, Nora meets the Duke of Cole, a fellow bibliophile (and love interest) who has rebuilt the ancient, sprawling castle behind the row of shops in the historical town.

WINTERLAND AT THE SECONDHAND BOOKWORM is book eleven in the series. More coming soon! Read now with amazon Kindle, KindleUnlimited and in paperback.
