Produktbeschreibung
Newly married and blissfully happy, Gaby and Jack are looking forward to another summer of fun in the village of Lochalshie. But there are clouds on the horizon... The Lochside Welcome pub and hotel is at the heart of the community--where the villagers gather to meet, gossip and eat Scotland's finest pizzas. Now, it's under threat. The landlord is ill, business has dropped away and the hotel at the other end of the village keeps muscling in, scooping up tourists, weddings and even the locals... Can Gaby and Jack save the day? What with the ever-increasing work demands, rival hotel owners not above using dirty tactics and the small matter of an about to happen life-changing event our couple are woefully ill-prepared for, it's all hands on deck to try to ensure the Lochside Welcome survives another day... If you love heart-warming, feel good fiction books that come with a side order of laughs, you're in the right place. Highland Chances is an engaging, fun-filled romp through Scottish small towns and rural life, and is the perfect read for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Jill Mansell and Jenny Colgan, and those looking for books like Marian Keyes. Praise for the Highland Books series: 'It's sweet, funny, bubbly and happy, even when it's dramatic and poignant. You'll fall in love with this place and scan the online maps to try and find it. If you love romance, and who doesn't, you'll fall for this series as much as I have. A feel-good witty romantic novel that ticks all the boxes. I already want the next one.' 'Great storytelling with characters I really warmed to.' 'The Highland Books Box Set... are a good read. They are also fun to read. The characters are your friends that you care about and want to succeed. You travel with them to Scotland and find more characters you enjoy and feel for. The stories are entertaining. Reading all three books was a lively journey that I recommend.' 'This is a great series with warm wonderful characters, the perfect Highland setting, some hilarious events and one very hungry cat. Highly recommended.' The Highland Books frequently asked questions: Do I need to have read the other books to understand this one? You might want to, or perhaps you already have. But I've added in a list of characters and a bit of back story throughout so you can understand the book even if you haven't read Highland Fling, Highland Heart and Highland Wedding. What makes the books worth reading? Good question! I like to think I provide light-hearted escapism and relatable characters that readers will care about. I throw in a dash of comedy. We all need a bit of laughter at the moment, don't we? My books are on the storytelling platform, Wattpad. To date, they've had almost 200,000 reads and a lot of comments from readers who love them. Is the setting of the story important? My stories are set in a fictional village called Lochalshie, which is loosely based on Arrochar in the west coast of Scotland. Scottish stories often chime with readers craving books that have a strong community feel. The 'village' feels almost like an actual character to me. Why are the cats in your books so spoilt? I'm a huge cat lover and have two of my own. I think other cat lovers will recognise behaviours such as talking to your cat in a silly voice, buying them expensive food, overfeeding them and allowing them to sleep wherever they want. Nowadays, I have two cats my husband and I adopted from the local animal shelter. It's a bit of a squeeze getting into bed at night... Book number four in the Highland Books series.
Autorenporträt
"One day, my sweet, we shall buy all our weekly food from Waitrose, Marks and Spencer's and small, artisan producers," that's the promise writer Emma Baird regularly makes to her husband, the vow dependent on plenty of people being kind enough to buy her books and boost her income... There's always a plan B, though... In the meantime, she also copywrites and edits to make ends meet, saving her fiction scribbling for when she has the odd hour or so. She is the author of the Highland Books series, set in the fictional village of Lochalshie (loosely based on Arrochar on the west coast of Scotland), and she is working on a few novels at the moment (she loves writing and HATES rewriting and revising...) Her website is: https: //emmabaird.com and she'd be delighted if you dropped by. if you'd do her the ginormous favour of signing up for her newsletter by emailing her at pinkglitterpubs@gmail.com, she'll send you a free short story. The newsletter features a lot of pics of cats and very little in the way of hard sells. Emma lives close to the Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond with her understanding husband and two VERY demanding cats.
