A
Taste Of Christmas

My
name is Nollaig, it’s the Irish word for Christmas. I hate my name.
My parents loved Christmas and that’s why they gave me such a
festive name, together with the fact that I was born on Christmas
Day.
However,
my parents are no longer with us after dying in a car accident on
Christmas Eve, five years ago.
Now
I hate Christmas all together.
I
always hated the fact that everyone got presents on my birthday. Now
my parents are gone and ever since then I just don’t feel like
celebrating Christmas. Everything about this holiday gives me sad
memories.
I
need a miracle to happen over the Christmas holiday to make me change
my mind about Christmas.
Who
knew that a quick shopping trip would provide me with the miracle
that I so desperately needed?
I
am a mother to two young children, who in turn keep me young. I live
in Dublin, Ireland but, I’m originally from South Devon in the UK.
I work full time in a pharmacy and write in all my spare time: in my
lunch hour, when watching TV at night and anywhere. I have always
been interested in reading from a young age and then 2 years ago I
was given a kindle as a present and it was the best thing that
happened to me. I was able to read lots of books ever week and then I
started to write reviews for all the books I read. I took this one
step further and started my own facebook page – Sparkling Pink
Bookshelf. I intended to upload all of my reviews for the books I
read. This was purely for pleasure and then I answered a post on
Facebook for someone to read for reviews and thought I had died and
gone to heaven. I was reading about 7/8 books a week, the kindle made
this achievable. I would read at any opportunity I could, even
staying up til the small hours to finish a book. I loved it. Then one
day I was asked to beta read a book – I loved this side of it, it
was so exciting. I have worked with a number of indie authors and
have remained loyal to a few select authors and I beta read all their
After a year or more of doing this, I thought maybe I could write
some of the stories that were in my head and I just decided to write
and see what happened. I wrote about 70% of a story and then saw a
post for the NaNoWriMo competition – to write 50,000 words in 30
days, I decided that this was a challenge I wanted to take and the
Til Death Us Do Part series was born.
I
am always thinking of situations that can be turned into a story and
have started a few stories, which in turn will be completed and
released to my readers. I love to hear what my readers have to say
about my work and please find my links below.
Thank
you for your support and I hope you enjoy this series of books as
much as I enjoyed writing them.
