Reunite at the Lakeside Cottage
Welcome back to the Lakeside Cottage . . .a place to come together, or be driven further apart?
It's that week between Christmas and New Year, and sisters Kate and Selena, and their friend Paisley, are meeting for an all-girls mini-break - no men allowed. But Affie, Carlos and Joseph have a similar idea, involving a sports channel, plenty of beer, and absolutely no women.
Somehow, there's been a double booking.
Paisley just wants to escape her worries, to recharge and reset for the coming year. The last thing she needs is complications.
Kate, the elder sister, is a people pleaser, used to making things run smoothly for her CEO boss, but even she can't fix this, can she?
Selena, meanwhile, may have a hugely successful career and be about to turn thirty, but she's her own worst enemy, and, as per usual, this mess may well be her fault...
To make matters worse, Paisley and Joseph have history.
Can the six of them find a way to navigate nearly a week together? Can the past be left behind and a new future found?

Retreat to the Lakeside Cottage
Welcome to the Lakeside Cottage . . . A place to write, where inspiration awaits . . .
Five authors have gathered at the idyllic Lakeside Cottage for a retreat, with the promise of peace and dedicated writing time. At least, that's the idea . . .
Retreat organiser Rula is there to edit, surrounded by like-minded souls. An interloper, especially one with whom she has a past, was certainly not part of her plan.
Eve has a bad case of writer's block, despite numerous bestsellers under her belt. Can she find new inspiration? Or will she get drawn into the dramas that unfold around her?
Alice has a deadline looming but is seemingly more interested in anything but writing. And where does she keep disappearing to?
Daphne is an experienced self-published author, but might she be more unconventional in other ways too?
And then there's Brontë, the complete novice. She's a mere scribbler, not a 'proper writer' like these other women, and she feels totally out of her depth.
As the collective word count grows, and their personal stories interweave, each woman finds herself drawn in unexpected and life-changing directions.

Martha has worked for the Carmichaels for over three decades and has guarded all their secrets. Now she has a secret of her own. Admitting it will be the hardest thing she's ever done.
These three women will do anything for their loved ones. But as revelations come to light amongst the stunning snowy countryside, the greatest lesson will be learning how to live for themselves too.
