Writing my first Christmas novella
As
both my chalet girl books so far are set in winter they have included
Christmas and New Year but I was asked to make the third more
Christmassy by my editor (her actual words were 'where are the sleigh
bells?').
So
I thought about what I love to do in Switzerland in December and sat
down to write a new scene in which the whole gang go down to the
Christmas markets on the lakeshore of Montreux. It's one of my favourite
places at any time of the year but in winter the view across to Evian
and the French Alps is simply stunning. Add in hundreds of chalet stalls
laden with delicious food and unique Christmas present ideas, the
medieval market within the walls of Chateau Chillon and some vin chaud
and the setting is pretty much perfect.
In
fact I made myself long to be there again, so much so that when my
husband suggested we go again this year I caved instantly, thus making
the scene the most expensive set of revisions ever!
I even gave my editor her sleigh bells, although I have a feeling I didn't include them in quite the way she intended ;-)
Revenge of a Chalet Girl by Lorraine Wilson (Publication date: 19/12/2013)
All she wants for Christmas is…revenge.
When
chalet girl Amy Wright finds her ex’s name on Chalet Repos’ guest list
she sees her chance to get back at him – Josh Carter, the guy who broke
her heart. Getting revenge without losing her job will be tricky but
luckily the other chalet girls are on hand to offer their support.
Pretty soon she’s in too deep and realises she doesn’t want to hurt him
anymore. She wants him back.
There’s just one teeny complication…
