Hi there.

Is it February already?

Yes, I know it’s been many many moons since I posted on here but I do have news. I have not one, but TWO, books out next week.

On Monday February 19th, the second book in the Little Cornish Isles series is released as an ebook. Spring on the Little Cornish Isles: The Flower Farm is set on the gorgeous fictional Scilly isle of St Saviour’s – on a farm that grows beautiful scented narcissi.

On Thursday February 22nd, the paperback edition of Confetti at the Cornish Café series hits the shelves of bookshops and can also be ordered online from Amazon, Waterstones and other retailers.

I want to thank you for making the Cornish Café series Amazon Top 100 and Bookseller Heatseekers bestsellers in digital and print formats. I hope you love both new stories.

I’ll be taking part in a blog tour from next week and I’ll post the stops here so you can read exclusive extracts, and some posts about my inspiration for The Flower Farm.

Keep following me on Twitter @PhillipaAshley and on Facebook where you’ll find all the very latest news, exclusive competitions to win signed copies and goody bags – I hang out in both places and chat to readers.

The post TWO new books out this week! appeared first on Author Phillipa Ashley.

Morning from a soggy UK,

Happy Friday, everyone. Some bargain book news and party gossip to share today.

99p ebooks

First the book news. Amazon has put two of my ebooks on a 99p deal – I don’t know for how long so if you fancy a summer escape and haven’t read them yet, go for it.

I’m delighted to say that you can be in with a chance of winning one of these absolutely gorgeous bouquets from the fabulous event florist, Eden Blooms

The director, Hazel, helped me with research for Confetti at the Cornish Cafe and she has offered this amazing arrangement for the competition. She even makes a cameo appearance in the book.

Hello from me on this wet and windy day.

If you’ve been waiting for the special Cornish Cafe contest, it’s now happening today!

My thoughts are with everyone involved in these dreadful times but I also think the best thing we can do is carry on our lives in the face of it all.

At the moment there’s a blog tour going on where you can read reviews, excerpts and posts from me about the book, my writing life and favourite Cornish places.

Stay safe, and hold your loved ones close. P xx

It’s finally here! The third part in the Cornish Cafe series – Confetti at the Cornish Cafe – is now out in the world.

Luckily, my publication day fell on a Bank Holiday in the UK so I was able to celebrate with my husband and family. My daughter had friends to stay so we had the cocktails featured in the recipes at the back of the book – Pousse Rapiere and Sea Breeze.

Good news – you can now get Summer at the Cornish Cafe in your local Sainsbury’s superstore. I visited my local store at Cannock yesterday to get a look at it in the wild.

Happy reading – hope the sun shines on you.
