Morning all! It was a busy week, with a trip to London to meet up with my agent and publishers and hear all the plans for the launch of Love From Christmas Tree Farm, coming out on the 22nd of October. I cannot wait for you all to visit Gwen at The Christmas Tree Farm, on a hill side in West Wales. Crisp, cold days, with frost biting at the tree tips and sprinkling them with white, sparkling crystals. It's a very special place. A place to gather and a beautiful place to remember the people that were once in our lives and celebrate those who have just arrived in it. And of course, to find the perfect family Christmas tree! There's also a wishing tree, because everyone deserves a wish at Christmas! And it wouldn't be a Jo Thomas without a good helping of delicious food that brings everyone together around the table. It's Christmas! Of course there's food. But this story isn't about your traditional Christmas turkey and trimmings, this is about food memories, tastes from the past that are your happy place.....and a handed down spice tin. There are plenty of ingredients in this Christmas feast that I hope will tickle your festive tastebuds. I loved writing it! And still imagine I'm there, in the old farmhouse, tucked under the covers of the high bed, with a cup of tea....much like now! If you want to join the party at The Christmas Tree Farm, you can pre order now for October 22nd, whether you read on an e-reader, a paperback or enjoy listening to the audio version when you're driving, running, doing the housework or kicking back and listening with your eyes shut! We have a fantastic reader FfionAynsley instagram.com/ffionaynsley/ to take you there! You can pre order here..... linktr.ee/JoThomasChristmas... I do hope you all have a lovely Sunday. With Love Jo x

Cosy evenings, comfy chairs, candles and warm drinks are just around the corner and I'm here for it! Love From Christmas Tree Farm has got crisp, cold days, christmas trees, loveable characters and pots of heartwarming curries to gather people around the kitchen table. Pre order your copy now, whether you like to listen to audio books, collect them on your e reader or love the feel of a paperback in your hands, escape this autumn to a world of rustic charm, memories of christmases past and christmas wishes for those to come. 'A hug in a book' linktr.ee/JoThomasChristmas With Love Jo x

I’ve been thinking about writing and the writing process. I’ve made some notes. But the first and most important one I think is this….you are starting out on a journey. You need to know where you’re going. It’s fine to take the scenic route, the back streets and see where they lead you, but ultimately you need to know the destination you’re trying to get to; despite the hold ups and delays. This is a voyage of discovery.

Morning all! My second book, The Olive Branch, set in the olive groves of Puglia in Italy, amongst the trulli houses. When Ruthie loses her home with her ex, has too much to drink and bids on a rundown masseria on a bidding site, she knows she's made a terrible mistake. But what else is she going to do?! Greeted by a territorial goat on the front porch and a neighbour who has no idea why she's there, it's going to take a lot of courage to bring the love back into the crumbling farmhouse, starting with the antiquated boiler! Join Ruthie on her journey in Southern Italy. Watch out for the goat on the porch....the wild boar and that fiery neighbour who is not happy to see her, not happy at all! All for just 99p on @amazonkindle right now.amazon.co.uk/Olive-Branch-go…

I'm thinking about the Spanish sunshine, colours and sounds. Vibrant and joyous. Tonight there will be chicken and chorizo in a rich tomato sauce, reminding me of Eliza and the gang at the tapas bar in Retreat to the Spanish Sun...amazon.co.uk/Retreat-Spanish…

The world needs more #feelgoodfiction! Places we want to spend time in, where we love the characters, root for them, and want a happy outcome! More @TedLasso! Tell me your favourite feel good fiction, books, film or T.V.

Today, I have chicken wings marinading, will serve with jacket potatoes, sour cream and buttered corn on the cob.
