January is a cruel and long month. I personally like nothing better than curling up with a cup of tea, some chocolate biscuits and a good book. Now I can't provide you with the tea and biscuits but I might be able to help you with your own reading material.
Would you like to win a Kindle compatible copy of one of my books to help pass some chilly hours?
I'll be running this competition until Tuesday 29th January 8pm (UK) and my son will pick the winner based on the answer he thinks is the best.
SO ... take a look at my books below and then tell me which one you'd like and why you feel you should win the prize. You can leave your answers here, on Facebook, Twitter or by email.
The winner will be announced on next week's blog - and don't forget you don't need a Kindle. You can read on PCs, Smartphones or iPads with a free app from Amazon.

With Fenella by her side, Libby is able to maintain her sanity. But what happens when the credit crunch bites, you’re desperate for another baby and your Asian neighbour is trying to match-make you with her infatuated son?
