A Snowflake in December

 A Snowflake in December 

By Kiltie Jackson 

Review: 

I knew I would love this book the minute I read the blurb. I was not disappointed! 

Polly has had a rough time and Christmas is not something she even entertains. But then Monty enters her life and with him comes twin brother Maxwell. 

Each character comes alive as you read and they all (with the exception of Laurel) warm your heart and make you smile. Genuine, kind and funny you can’t help but wish them well and hope for the perfect outcome. 

There are some bumps in the road and I will say there were moments when I cried. 

There are many references to the death of Polly’s dad when she was a child and also a short reference to childhood cancer which had me sobbing. But everything is dealt with in a gentle and respectful way. 

I just loved this book - it is feel good, fun and a festive must. Perfect for the winter months. 

Author Bio

Kiltie Jackson spent her childhood years growing up in Scotland. Most of these early years were spent in and around Glasgow although for a short period of time, she wreaked havoc at a boarding school in the Highlands.

 

By the age of seventeen, she had her own flat which she shared with a couple of cats for a few years while working as a waitress in a cocktail bar (she’s sure there’s a song in there somewhere!) and serving customers in a fashionable clothing outlet before moving down to London to chalk up a plethora of experiences which are now finding their way into her writing.

 

Once she’d wrung the last bit of fun out of the smokey capital, she moved up to the Midlands and now lives in Staffordshire with one grumpy husband and another six feisty felines.

Her little home is known as Moggy Towers even though, despite having plenty of moggies, there are no towers! The cats kindly allow her and Mr Mogs to share their home as long as the mortgage continues to be paid.

 

Since the age of three, Kiltie has been an avid reader although it was many years later before she decided to put pen to paper – or fingers to keyboard – to begin giving life to the stories in her head.

 

Her debut novel was released in September 2017 and her fourth book, ‘A Timeless Lovestyle’ was a US Amazon bestseller in Time Travel Romance.

 

Kiltie loves to write fiery and feisty female characters and puts the blame for this firmly on the doorsteps of Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables and George Kirrin from The Famous Five.

 

When asked what her best memories are, Kiltie will tell you:

 

1. Queuing up overnight outside the Glasgow Apollo to buy her Live-Aid ticket.

2. Being at Live-Aid.

3. Winning an MTV competition to meet Bon Jovi in Sweden. (Although, if Mr Mogs is in earshot, the latter is changed to her wedding day.)

 

Her main motto in life used to be “Old enough to know better, young enough not to care!” but thathas since been replaced with “Too many stories, not a fast enough typist!”

Book Blurb

When Christmas is the time of year you hate the most, what does it take to make you love it?

Polly Snowflake hasn't celebrated Christmas since her father died on Christmas Day when she was fifteen years old and, twenty years later, she has avoiding the festive season down to a fine art. That is until she meets Maxwell Watkins, a fully-fledged lover of Christmas, who vows to thaw out her frozen Christmas spirit.

Taking the idea of an advent calendar, Maxwell sets a different ADVENT-ure each day from the 1st to the 24th December, covering all manner of wonderful Christmas delights. As they spend time together, Polly begins to wonder if Christmas is the only thing she’ll be opening her heart to. That is, until Maxwell’s glamourous super-model ex-girlfriend arrives back on the scene...


Will this be a Christmas for Polly to remember or yet another she’ll want to forget?
