An Advent Calendar of Stories was published in December 2009. The idea was a story for every day of advent, but publication was delayed. It will be released again for next year, although copies should be available through the publisher.

My story is 'When Grandpa Comes to Stay' and was inspired by memories of when my blind grandfather lived with us. But my household wasn't quite like Jamie's!
