Naughty Xmas series

As I said on Wednesday, I have a new book coming out in the Naughty Xmas series. I'll tell you more about the new book next week, but in the meantime I promised to give you some more info on the paranormal world the stories are set in.

All stories will be set in a city (imagine New York) where the humans are blissfully unaware that paranormal creatures are all about them.

Whilst  'Naughty Christmas Wishes' was set partly in the human home of the heroine of the story, it also had half the scenes in Pogue's bar where the new story 'Naughty Christmas Present' is entirely set.

As described in 'Naughty Christmas Wishes' Pogue's Bar is "a tall thin building which had hotel rooms above. It was sandwiched at the end of a street between a store and a wall...... it always amazed her that humans just didn't seem to notice the building where all sorts of paranormal creatures came and went with no one noticing.

Fay snorted. Humans were nore blinkered than reindeer at times."

I got the idea for the name of this bar because in 'Naughty Christmas Wishes' I included tons of references to Christmas songs (if you haven't worked it out think of The Pogues who sang 'Fairytale of New York').

Pogue's Bar is run by a hunky Troll called Gren (there's your first clue to book two 'Naughty Christmas Present'!!)

'Naughty Christmas Wishes' was my first attempt at a paranormal story outside of werewolves and concentrated on a fairy and four elves although other secondary creatures included an angel, a siren, a valkyrie, and a troll.

I had fun considering how the paranormal world would differ, for instance Fay makes a remark that the human habit of hanging stockings by the fireplace was against paranormal health and safety rules! LOL

Fay also hates tinsel as she always gets tangled in it when she is put back in her family's 'Christmas box' every year.

And when her human made the comment that people put their decorations up far too early, that meant Fay had to stay in her box for longer than usual! (I always put my decorations up early!)

Come back on Monday to find out all about the new book 'Naughty Christmas Present' which is due out on 6 December.
