    About this ebook

    It's the second day of Christmas, which Myrtle has wisely chosen to spend in Bordeaux in France, far away from her warring parents in England. She has a big event coming up tomorrow - a meeting with her newly-found half-brother. Being rather timid and prone to worrying, the very thought of it is already stressing her out. So for now she's indulging in some escapist sight-seeing. A little flirtation briefly brightens her day even more, but the appearance of a second Myrtle Dove sends everything nosediving into chaos...

    I'm an English ex-pat living in France with my family and a lot of animals, including llamas and carp. I was a bestselling author in Ireland, where we lived for 15 years before we moved to our new home here. I've recently relaunched my writing career, but this time as an indie ebook author and publisher. It's the twenty-first century after all!

      This a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons and events is entirely coincidental.

      Just a quick word of explanation…

      I’m going with the usual tradition of the Twelve Days of Christmas starting on Boxing Day, 26th December. Some argue that the period starts on Christmas Day itself, but I prefer to follow the medieval approach. As Christmas Day was a holy day, there’d be no partying that day so the fun part of Christmas started with Boxing Day.

      This story starts on the second day of Christmas, December 27.

      So please bear with me, even if you disagree, and enjoy this festive, feel-good story.
