Just to clarify, I have had kind permission from Geraldine of Gransnet to post this. (Bit of confusion on Friday it seems.)
I have just published another ebook - The Snow Queen. Been tinkering with my own version of this for a couple of years now and decided to share it in ebook format. I love the story - originally by Hans Christian Anderson - and not only because the main roles are all female. Translations of HCA's original are I think a bit wordy and 19th century for today's grandchildren, but the story of Gerda going off alone to rescue her friend is a classic.
You can sample it on Kindle site at: bit.ly/VU4cvF or for other kinds of ereading on Smashwords bit.ly/Wv9fJh

Have bought the WHOLE kindle book - a bargain at £1.91 so everyone should have one! (and if that is advertising I don't care - It is for JessM)

I'm presuming someone actually expressed the view that Jess was advertising without permission! hmm Words fail me....good for you, Jess, I'll certainly be giving it a go! smile

Thread just disappeared. HQ said it had turned into a 'bunfight'. Hadn't seen any replies after I said how much I loved the story [one of my all time favourites] so don't know what happened. And, she'd made it clear it had been passed by HQ as well. Curioser and curioser.

Thanks again Grans. Feedback appreciated those of you kind enough to buy a copy.
Have a good Christmas. I need to go and pack a bag.
