Walkies in a Winter Wonderland
Catherine Cat Palmer realizes that bringing an adorable puppy into work is a bad idea when it gets her the sack. Deciding its the perfect opportunity to launch her dog-walking business, Cat enlists the help of flatmates Polly and Joe. After all Primrose Terrace, the street where they live, is full of home-alone hounds.
Getting to know the owners and their precious pooches isnt all plain sailing, but soon Cat is making friends, particularly with sexy Mark and his Collie, Chips. With her talent for misadventure, Cats new life starts to show some cracks, and when one of the streets loveable schnauzers gets ill, it looks like this Christmas could be turning into a dogs dinner. But Cat has never given up on anything in her life and this is one Christmas thats definitely worth saving

Cressy was born in South East London surrounded by books and with a cat named after Lawrence of Arabia. She studied English at the University of East Anglia and now lives in Norwich with her husband David. Cressys favourite things include terrifying ghost stories, lava lamps and romantic heroes, though not necessarily at the same time. She doesnt (yet) have a dog of her own, but feeds her love vicariously through friends pets, and was once chased around a field by a soaking wet, very mischievous Border Collie called Wags. When she isnt writing, Cressy spends her spare time reading, returning to London or exploring the beautiful Norfolk coastline.
