On The Second Day of Christmas - An Angel from Jill Mansell

On the second day of Christmas Jill Mansell adorns our RNA tree with an angel...

Here's our favourite ornament, the angel currently touching the living room ceiling as she perches on top of our tree. Years ago when the children were very small, my book sales were nose-diving and my publisher had been forced to let me go. Money was extremely tight and we had none to spare for Christmas decorations. So I drew the angel with ballpoint pen on a square of rubbery foam  bought for ten pence from a craft shop. I cut her out, stapled her together at the back and my daughter painted her with glue and sprinkled her with glitter.

She's been the star of our tree every year since - Christmas just wouldn't be the same without her.


A very happy Christmas to all!!!

Here's her latest book....




When Ellie Kendall loses her husband Jamie in an accident she feels her world has come to an end. But life has to go on and eventually she’s ready for a new start – at work, that is. She definitely doesn’t need a new man, not while she has a certain secret visitor to keep her company... 

Entrepreneur Zack McLaren seems to have it all, but the girl he can’t stop thinking about won’t give him a second glance. Why can’t she pay him the kind of attention she lavishes on Elmo, his time-share dog? 

Having moved to an exclusive flat in North London, Ellie becomes friendly with neighbour Roo who’s harbouring a secret of her own. Between them, can both girls sort out their lives? Guilt is a powerful emotion. 


But a lot can happen in a year in Primrose Hill...

I love the angel. And that's a real Christmas story - what it's all about.

I'm glad she hasn't been replaced by gilt and glitter :)
