Christmas at Draycott Abbey (7 page)
Welcome back to Draycott Abbey.
Do you love magic that gathers within weathered stone walls? Are you fascinated by old houses, where the weight of history presses down like a physical touch? If so, you'll feel completely at home at this lovely, rose-covered estate in rural England.
I'm frequently asked if my books have to be read in order.
Definitely not! Each book is written to stand alone. All of the stories are self-contained. But since many readers prefer a series in its order of writing,

will take you to the current Draycott Abbey collection.
Christmas at Draycott Abbey, a novella
The series began with a story of the brooding ghost of an earlier ancestor, Adrian Draycott. After that came nine Draycott Abbey books, which may not all be in print at the time you read this.
Stay tuned. Izzy is working on that!
And if you are intrigued by Calan MacKay, the secretive Scotsman, you may enjoy
Bound by Dreams
, the story of Calan’s rare skills – and his rediscovery of a love lost within the abbey walls.
Meanwhile, enjoy the scent of Adrian’s heirloom roses.
They bloom even in winter, thanks to a particular bit of magic worked by moonlight. No, Adrian didn’t sell his soul to the devil.
But it was a close thing.
Far too close
. And Adrian’s testing has only begun as the danger grows, carried into the turbulent present.
Watch for more brand new novellas coming in 2012!
For a taste of Draycott Abbey, try Marston's Chocolate Pots de Crème. You'll find the recipe, and two variations, at
DraycottAbbey.com/recipe
. These small and entirely delicious little desserts are a staple at the Abbey over Christmas. Marston always uses the exclusive Earl Grey tea made for the Draycott family to infuse this decadent dish, but any good quality Earl Grey tea will work. Happy cooking (and eating!)
I'll be waiting for you at the abbey……
