Book Synopsis

Walkies in a Winter Wonderland...

Catherine 'Cat' Palmer realizes that bringing an adorable puppy into work is a bad idea when it gets her the sack. Deciding it's the perfect opportunity to launch her dog-walking business, Cat enlists the help of flatmates Polly and Joe. After all Primrose Terrace, the street where they live, is full of home-alone hounds.

Getting to know the owners and their precious pooches isn't all plain sailing, but soon Cat is making friends, particularly with sexy Mark and his Collie, Chips. With her talent for misadventure, Cat's new life starts to show some cracks, and when one of the street's loveable schnauzers gets ill, it looks like this Christmas could be turning into a dog's dinner. But Cat has never given up on anything in her life - and this is one Christmas that's definitely worth saving...

A Christmas Tail was first published as a four-part serial set in Primrose Terrace.

About the Author

Cressy was born in South East London surrounded by books and with a cat named after Lawrence of Arabia. She studied English at the University of East Anglia and now lives in Norwich with her husband David.
Cressy's favourite things include terrifying ghost stories, lava lamps and romantic heroes, though not necessarily at the same time. She doesn't (yet) have a dog of her own, but feeds her love vicariously through friends' pets, and was once chased around a field by a soaking wet, very mischievous Border Collie called Wags.
When she isn't writing, Cressy spends her spare time reading, returning to London or exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline.
