Since I began this ‘staying in’ feature on Linda’s Book Bag as a special item for 2018 I’ve featured scores and scores of authors. Today I have a very welcome guest as fellow blogger B R Maycock has just released her latest novella and I’m thrilled she’s agreed to stay in with me to tell me all about it. Berni has always been such a wonderful support to fellow bloggers and authors and I’m delighted to have her here today.

Staying in with B R Maycock

Welcome to Linda’s Book Bag Berni. Thank you so much for agreeing to stay in with me.

Not at all, Linda, it’s very exciting to be here! (Am loving the décor!)

(Thank you – though I hate this sofa!)

Tell me, which of your books have you brought along to share this evening and why have you chosen it? 

I brought Snowday, basically because it’s November now, people are tired, the heating is properly coming on and so I think it’s time for an easy-going, fun read, hot chocolate and slippers in front of a blazing fire!

(You’re definitely talking my language there Berni. The thought of curling up in front of the fire with Snowday sounds wonderful. Especially if hot chocolate is involved!)

What can we expect from an evening in with Snowday?

In Snowday we can expect a lot of smiles, laughs and aww moments in the town of Riverside, which can be both mesmerisingly beautiful in white when things are going well and sludgily grey when things are falling apart for poor Eloise, who has her hands full with three kids, a David Brent style boss and potential love interests that each have their own issues!

(Ooo. I like the sound of that. I’m delighted I have Snowday on my TBR. Sounds like the perfect Twixtmas read to me when I’m disappearing from blogging for a while and have time to read.)

What else have you brought along and why? 

Well actually the bulk of this book was written in March and April, funnily enough at a time when Ireland was more snow covered than it has ever been! This photo of my son Paul says it all really!!!

(I love that photo. Paul looks frozen!)

It’s been lovely staying in with you and finding out about Snowday Berni. Thanks for being here and I wish you very success. Congratulations.

Snowday

Sometimes hot cocoa just isn’t enough to keep you warm in the snow…

Eloise is too busy juggling the chaos of three kids, an ever present ex-husband and a demanding boss to even remember the last time dating crossed her mind.

But as soft snow falls silently all around, romance twinkles with the flakes.

After being single for so long, Eloise suddenly has a lot of choices.  Too many choices.

Will anyone be worthy of melting the guard around her heart to let love in?

A fun-filled, festive read for fans of Christie Barlow, Fiona Gibson and Colleen Coleman

Snowday is available for purchase here.

About B R Maycock

When Bernadette Maycock isn’t dreaming up vibrant leads for romantic comedies, she’s ingesting books for her blog, in particular chick lit (her first love!) books, romantic comedies and thrillers. She can also be found playing footie or watching Marvel, DC or Star Wars movies and cartoons in Co. Westmeath, Ireland with her brilliantly out there husband, Keith, and their four epic little men.

Her debut It Started With A Snub and Christmas romantic comedy Snowday are available now on Amazon, and Bernadette is currently working on a three part series about AbbeyGlen Village, whose luck is about to change …

She has one goal and that’s simply to make readers smile and/ or laugh (a splutter rates highest;)).
