MAXINE MORREY

has wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember and wrote her first (very short) book for school when she was ten. Coming in first, she won a handful of book tokens – best prize ever at the time!

As time went by, she continued to write, but “normal” work often got in the way. Finally, she decided to go for it, and wrote. Really wrote. And after a while she had a bunch of articles, and a non-fiction book to her name.

But her first love is novels, and, in August 2015, Maxine got the call to say she had won Carina UK’s “Write Christmas” competition, with her romantic comedy Winter’s Fairytale.

Maxine lives on the south coast of England, and when not wrangling with words, can be found tackling her To Be Read pile, sewing, listening to podcasts, and walking.

Thank you, as always, to James who continually believes in me and doesn’t mind a bit that the whole housework routine thing has now gone completely out of the window.

Thanks to Clio, Nia and all the team at HQ for helping me bring another story into the world.

Also, a massive thank you to the fantastic book bloggers out there who have given their time to read and review and helped bring my books to notice. I really can’t thank them enough. They do a brilliant job – all unpaid – and their beautiful, thoughtful reviews have made me cry more than once. I am fearful of listing all of those who I refer to here in case I miss anyone, but I hope that they know who they are. You are all superstars.

And most of all, thanks to you, lovely reader. There is such a huge and wonderful choice of books out there and I am eternally grateful that you chose to spend precious time and money on one of mine. Hearing that I’ve brought a smile (and sometimes a tear) to someone is an amazing feeling and also incredibly humbling. Thank you so much. Your support and enthusiasm means more than you could ever know.

If you have enjoyed this, or any of my books, I’d be so grateful if you are able to take a few moments to pop up a short review on Amazon. It really does help to spread the word and helps me to keep writing more books.

Lastly, I really do love hearing from readers. All my social media links are below so please do say hi!
