Give your loved ones the gift of magic this Christ Give your loved ones the gift of magic this Christmas with my Magical Mister Mishkins series! 

I will be at Sudbury Arts Centre this Sunday, 10am to 3pm, and I will be sharing the space with a host of wonderful local authors. Not only that, I will be taking part in panel discussions on author life during the day, and also doing a reading from one of my books.

After a busy weekend, I am looking forward to head After a busy weekend, I am looking forward to heading home to this ball of fluff. Mister Mishkins, like all our cats, is always so happy to see me, and with the temperatures dropping, the wood burner will be lit tonight - a perfect heat source for anything feline! 

My next bookish outing is @sudburyartscentre Anglian Author Fair next Sunday. For now, I am full of gratitude for all that Burnham Market has given me, and I am looking forward to a less stressful drive home than Friday's #stormclaudia provided! 

Have a lovely Sunday everyone. Samantha xx
