A Thank you Gift for You - handcrafted Christmas Fiction

Are you thinking about Christmas already? Or perhaps putting off thinking about it? 😉

I have a new story for you, about one young woman’s run-up to Christmas. Remember the apprentice jeweller Jack Neave, angling for his first commission in ‘Luverly’? (Read it here if you missed that short story.)

Now I’ve written some follow-up fiction about his lovely customer – why did she want that necklace?
