All the lovely authors and bloggers I know on Twitter. You’ve all been so supportive since the very first book, and I want to mention you all by name, but I know I’ll forget someone and I don’t want to leave anyone out, so to everyone I chat to on Twitter or Facebook – thank you.

The little writing group that doesn’t have a name – Sharon Sant, Sharon Atkinson, Dan Thompson, Jack Croxall, Holly Martin, Jane Yates. I can always turn to you guys!

Thank you to the team at HQ and especially my fabulous editor, Charlotte Mursell, for all the hard work and support, and for always knowing exactly how to make each book better!

A Letter from the Author

Dear Reader,

Thank you so much for reading Snowflakes at the Little Christmas Tree Farm. I hope you loved reading about Leah and Noel, and their pumpkin and Christmas tree adventures as much as I loved writing about them, and enjoyed a festive trip around Elffield like I did!

This story came about when I saw a Christmas tree farm for sale – instant daydream! I couldn’t make the move myself, but the beauty of being a writer is being able to explore the ‘what ifs’ of lives we’ll never get to lead, and the characters of Leah and her grumpy, gorgeous new neighbour instantly popped into my head! I definitely enjoyed getting to know Noel and his crazy hair, and I think I’ve given myself a bit of a thing for Scottish men with lip piercings! I’d definitely like to own a Christmas tree farm in real life too!

One thing I didn’t expect when I started writing this book was that Gizmo the Chihuahua would turn into a tribute to my own darling little Chihuahua, Bruiser, who died in February. It was therapeutic to write some of Bruiser’s quirky characteristics into a fictional version, and I hope Gizmo made you smile as much as his real-life counterpart always made me smile!

If you enjoyed this story, please consider leaving a review on Amazon. It only has to be a line or two, and it makes such a difference to helping other readers decide whether to pick up the book or not, and it would mean so much to me to know what you think! Did it make you smile, laugh, or cry? Would you like a neighbour like Noel? Would you give one of Fergus’s mince pies a try?!

Thank you again for reading. If you want to get in touch, you can find me on Twitter – usually when I should be writing – @be_the_spark. I would love to hear from you!

Hope to see you again soon in a future book!

Lots of love,

Jaimie
