It all started when Heide spent two years working as Mrs Claus at a garden centre near Tamworth. She saw first-hand what happens when you mix festive cheer with family drama, broken props, and the occasional rogue elf. Somewhere between the tinsel and tantrums, the seed of an idea was planted.

Those experiences becameThe Festive and the Furious — the first book in our most outrageous Christmas adventure yet. Think less Love Actually, more Die Hard with mince pies.

Since then, the mayhem has snowballed into a full trilogy — packed with outrageous Santas, out of control reindeer and warfare between rival garden centres.

You can grab the books in ebook, paperback, or a festive trilogy bundle — perfect for reading by a log fire (preferably with mulled wine close at hand).
