Tied up in Tinsel

Tied up in Tinsel (2017) Post 359


Tied up in Tinsel is the second Christmas story in the Fairy in the Bed
series. Fairy on the Christmas Tree (2016) was the first. In that one, Frances, jilted on Christmas Eve, impulsively buys herself a fairy for her Christmas tree. This leads to her meeting with Niall Le Fay, a fairy who chooses to live and work in Sydney. Frances and Niall pop up again in Hot Summer Knight. Tied up in Tinsel is their third appearance, a year after their first meeting. This isn't their story, though.
Felicity "Flick" Echo is Niall's cousin, and she makes an impulsive visit to him on Christmas Day. She meets young George Dark, who makes a wish for a gift "all tied up in tinsel". Flick sees no reason not to give him his wish, but she soon finds out the gift isn't for George himself, but for his lonely bachelor father. All tied up in tinsel wasn't the way Flick wanted to spend Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, Chas Dark is taken aback when he encounters his Christmas present from his son. 

ABOUT THE BLOG

Sally is Sally Odgers; author, manuscript assessor, editor, anthologist and reader. She runs http://www.affordablemanuscriptassessments.com and Prints Charming Books. (Sally is me, by the way, and I am lots of other things too, but these are the relevant ones for now.)

The goal for 2017 is to write a post a day profiling the background behind one of my books; how it came to be written, what it's about, and any things of note that happened along the way. If you're an author, an aspiring author, a reader or just someone who enjoys windows into worlds, you might find this fun. The books are not in any special order, but will be assigned approximate dates, and pictures, where they exist.
