Produktbeschreibung

Love, magic lamps and bonnie Scotland... what more can a girl want? After being dumped by her fiancé, losing her job and ending up in a sleepy Scottish village, Jinnie Cooper is determined to get her life back on track. First order of business: working for the charismatic Sam Addin at his run-down antique shop. When Sam gifts her a few items, including a battered old lamp, little does Jinnie know what's in store. Magic and mayhem ensue when the lamp's occupant takes up residence in her humble cottage, with her new 'housemate' possessing the uncanny knack of putting his pointy-slippered foot in it. With the possibility of her wishes coming true, Jinnie realises she doesn't know what she wants--and the clock is ticking... Torn between two very different men, Jinnie's running out of time. Can wishes really come true? Praise for A Wish For Jinnie: 'I tittered, I laughed out loud, I said wow so many times that my husband kept looking at me as I continually muttered, "This is such fun; this is so good, I love it!'" Angela Petch, bestselling author of The Tuscan Secret. 'Wonderfully lively and highly entertaining.' Victoria Cooke, author of digital bestseller Who Needs Men Anyway. Packed with mystical mayhem and a liberal sprinkling of magic, it's a laugh-out-loud rollercoaster ride with a cast of characters you'll take to your heart. Perfect for fans of Carole Matthews, Jill Mansell and Debbie Viggiano. 'I loved this wonderful feel-good story with a dash of magic, and I can guarantee it will warm your heart and leave you yearning for more.' Goodreads Reviewer 'I absolutely love this author's writing. If you are ever in need of an escape from the realities of everyday life, then just pick up one of her books.'

Autorenporträt

Audrey Davis survived secondary school on the West coast of Scotland. Rubbish at science but not too bad at English, she originally wanted to be an actress but was persuaded that journalism was a safer option. Probably wise. She studied at Napier College in Edinburgh, the only place in Scotland at that time to offer a journalism course. > Her first foray into the hard-nosed newspaper world was as a junior reporter in Dumfriesshire. Duties included interviewing farmers about the prize-winning heifers to reporting on family tragedies. She persuaded her editor to let her launch an entertainment column which meant meeting the odd celebrity - or just the downright odd. From there, she moved to the loftier rank of senior reporter back in her home patch. Slightly more money, fewer farm animals but a higher crime rate. As Taggart would say: 'There's been a murrrrder!' > After a stint in London on a video magazine - yes, she is that old - Audrey moved to Singapore with her fiancé. She tried valiantly to embrace the stinking heat, humidity and lack of jobs, although she did work briefly on a magazine which was banned by the government for 'artistic' use of naked men's bottoms. > Next on her adventures was a land Down Under where her main focus was raising Cost Centre One (aka firstborn) and coming to terms with the imminent arrival of Number Two. Still, she loved the Aussie way of life - BBQs, beaches and bring your own booze to restaurants - so it came as a blow when OH announced a move back to the UK. Not a job between us, the climate a possible deal breaker and an Exorcist-style vomiting infant on the flight home didn't bode well ... > Always a survivor, Audrey sought out similar-minded friends (i.e. slightly bonkers), got the children into a good school and thought about taking up writing again. Sadly, thinking about it was as far as she got, unless you count shopping lists. Then, hubby drops another bombshell. Switzerland. As in - it's packing time again. Off to the land of cheese, chocolate, scarily efficient trains and a couple of teeny, tiny issues. Like driving on the 'wrong' side of the road and speaking a foreign language (French). The former was conquered fairly quickly (we'll skip over the wall demolition in week two), the latter remains an ongoing battle of the hopeful against the hopeless. At least she provides amusement for the local workforce. > It wasn't until 2016 that Audrey rediscovered her writing mojo with an on line Writing Fiction course. From there, her first novel - A Clean Sweep - was born, although it took a bit longer than nine months from conception. A short, darker prequel - A Clean Break - followed, and in November 2017 she published the first in a novella trilogy, The Haunting of Hattie Hastings Part One. Parts Two and Three followed, and were combined into a standalone novel which received incredible reviews. Audrey's third novel - A Wish For Jinnie - was published in June 2020, and her fourth - Lost In Translation - in January 2021. A sequel to A Wish For Jinnie - A Wish For Jo - was published in June 2022. The final part of the Cranley Wish trilogy will be published in early 2023.
