I’m crazy busy at work for the next few days while preparing for the end of the year and payroll etc. But I hope to share so review snippets later in the week.

I’m back with the last of the reviews from my blog blitz tour for A Little Christmas Magic.
Yesterday it was great to see the reviews coming in and to hear how much reviewers are enjoying the audiobook while they’re getting ready for Christmas or having a well earned break from preparations.
Here are the latest review snippets I have to share.
“The narrator truly brought the stories alive, filling them with emotion.”Plumbobmummy
“…Colette Davies-Kerwin, was wonderful. The recording was clear, read well and I didn’t want this book to end to be honest. …Over all, this book was fantastic. It has me completely feeling the Christmas cheer.”Novel Kicks
“The audio narration by Colette Davies-Kerwin brings an added layer of charm and cosiness, making this collection a joy to listen to on wintry evenings.”My books and crafts
“This is a cute set of 8 short stories that total less than 3 hours listening time with a focus on family, friends, love and peace and goodwill. I think my fav was the Last Minute Dash but they’re all great for listening to while you’re wrapping gifts or any of the other millions of holiday chores you have to accomplish in the next few days.”The loppy knot on instagram
I hope you’ve enjoyed these little snippets and have had a chance to check out the full reviews on the blogs and Instagram. Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources for hosting this Blog Blitz.
And if you want to start feeling Christmassy, you can pick up both books in series in ebook, paperback, audiobook and hardback. They’d make a great Christmas present or stocking filler for the readers in your life.
Hello again. I’m back with more review snippets and links to the full reviews.
“Each of the stories is uplifting and although some have an element of loss or sadness that is never the overriding final feel… The narration of each story is clear and was a really calming effect.”Mrsd271015 on Instagram
“This is a lovely collection of stories and something you can enjoy time and time again.”Nadine on instagram
“I loved the stories within this book and thought that is was one of those books that you can binge in one day. I do think that this is one of those books where the stories can get you into the holiday mood…”Kathrine Books.
“In a Nutshell: A sweet collection of holiday short stories. Covering varied characters and emotions. Utterly feel-good and perfect for the festive season.”Rosh at Roshreviews
“Festive short stories not to be missed.” BookShortie
I’ll leave you with some graphics I’ve been playing around with this afternoon, and I’ll be back to tomorrow to finish the blog blitz snippets.
I can finally confirm that my most recent festive short story collection is out in all formats – ebook, paperback, hardback and now audiobook too!
It’s narrated by the very talented Colette Davies-Kerwin, and I have the preview to share with you below.
These stories all focus on family, friendship, love and goodwill. The audio sample above is the start of Poppy’s Christmas Wish. This is the first story in the collection, about a much loved pet going missing just before Christmas. I’ve dedicated the book to my cat, Evie, who adopted us during lockdown, much to the dismay of my lovely little cocker spaniel.
During December, there will be several audiobook tours where listeners will share their reviews. I can’t wait to share some highlights with you.
A quick update on the Winter Warmers Collection…
I do plan to publish another collection in 2026. It’s something I hope to start planning in the next few weeks, alongside working on my Mermaid Hotel Series which also debuts in 2026. All these plans are going to keep me very busy, but I’ll always make time to chat to others, so please get in touch by commenting below, or finding me on other social media platforms.
If you’d like to hear more of the audiobook, these are the links for the series on Amazon. It’s also available on Audible UK and Audible US.
Let me know what you think of the sample, and anything else you might want to chat about. You can find all my links on linktree.
Sadly the book tour for A Little Christmas Magic has come to an end, but I’ve loved reading what the reviewers think of my festive stories. As always I’ve shared some extracts. You can click on the links to read each review on Instagram.
booklover.kez ‘The 8 stories are filled with sweet characters, and explore the kindness of strangers, new ventures in life, friends reconnecting, unexpected romance, and people coming together in times of need. It’s filled with emotion and empathy, and each story feels relatable and endearing, and some will definitely make you teary.’
bookish.browns.books ‘It’s the perfect read if you’re looking for a quick escape into festive settings, especially curled up on the sofa with a cosy blanket and a hot drink! It’s sure to add some extra “Ho Ho Ho” to the season!’
ericas_bookreviews ‘It’s impossible to pick a favourite as I loved them all but Poppy’s Christmas Wish was so sweet & a reminder of how much our pets become part of the family & Last Minute Dash was just so heartwarming, tear jerking & the best reminder that Christmas is not about material things but memories, moments, presence & just being there.’
bluefairybugsbooks ‘My favourite was Driving Home for Christmas, I loved the mysterious cottage in the woods, and the inhabitants who seemed to disappear.’
rozannereviews ‘Each story is well written and deserving of a place in the collection. I loved the first story as I’m a huge cat fan, although my boys are not allowed outside! I also really liked driving home for Christmas and the last train home. These were the standouts for me, but each story was enjoyable.’
betweenkirstyscovers ‘This book was such a beautiful winter heart warmer. There is something for everyone to share the love at Christmas. From pets to helping others for me this really made me feel the true meaning of Christmas.’
claires_booknook ‘This is a gorgeous collection of 8 stories all with a heartwarming Christmas theme. I really enjoyed all of them and it was hard to pick a favourite. Although I’m glad to see that the mermaid hotel will be made into a series in 2025.’
ukbook_reviewer ‘⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really enjoyed this Christmas themed short story collection. I have not read a Christmas short story book before & I was pleasantly surprised how invested I was in the stories and how much emotion can be projected (given the length of them).’
catreader18 ‘This book is perfect to carry the Christmas spirit with you all year!’
lisa_reads_alot ‘Poignant and sweet each story about helping others, family and friends and sometimes just taking a chance.’
And that’s a wrap!
I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have.
I would like to thank all 25 reviewers and also Lovebookstours for organising everything. It was very short notice as the book was only published at the end of November and I’m grateful Kelly and the team could fit me in.
I’d love to know what you think of my short stories, or perhaps you have a friend or family member in need of A Little Christmas Magic.
This is the last day of the book tour for A Christmas Wish and I’m happy to share some more review snippets…
Catreader18 – ‘Each one is enjoyable and cute and made me happier. My favorite story is called Santa Paws. It’s about a woman’s and her dog that visit nursing homes and this visit is the deliver Christmas presents.’
book_a_holic_17 – ‘I loved the diversity in these stories – whilst also keeping that same feel-good spirit of Christmas-time vibe… I don’t think that I could pick a favourite story from this – I really enjoyed them all – but Chance Encounters really touched me (being a mum of teens).’
bouquinistebookcase – ‘Each story had a meaning or moral and I’m sure a lot of people could put themselves in at least one of the protagonists positions. My personal favourite was the story of the two young brothers being led down the wrong path and being put in a difficult situation and having to make choices whilst being pressured by peers.’
booklover.kez ‘This was a delightful collection of 8 festive short stories, with themes of friendship, hope, family and second chances. They are all short and sweet and embrace the cosy Christmas atmosphere and time for helping others and being with family.’
afelton6212 ‘What a cute book. I loved this read… They really got me into the Christmas spirit. Highly recommended.’
thebookandbubble – ‘This collection of short stories is a heartwarming embrace of Christmas spirit. Each tale touches on heartfelt topics, weaving together themes of love, hope, and the magic of the season.’
nadz_sargent – ‘Such a lovely collection of heartwarming stories. The book is around 80 pages – these are short but sweet. Reminders of the importance of love, compassion, community and family.’
alyssas_book_obsession – ‘They were such feel-good and poignant stories. They brought the coziness of Christmas with themes of hope, family, second chances, and helping each other. The stories were relatable and realistic.’
And that’s it for the book tour. It’s been great to read the reviews coming in this last week and to share the love for A Christmas Wish. Thanks to all the reviewers who took part and a big thank you to Kelly and everyone at Love Book Tours for making this possible.
I will be back soon for a new book tour for A Little Christmas Magic – my newly released short story collection for 2024.
Both books are part of the Winter Warmers Short Story Series, which you can check out on Amazon now. Available as ebooks, paperbacks and free to read on Kindle Unlimited.
I hope you’ve enjoyed getting a taste of the reviews and hope its inspired you to get into the festive spirit.
