Did you ever wonder what Poppy did next?

Hello!

I am delighted to be able to tell you that the new Riverdale book, A Riverdale Christmas, is out today!

The ninth book in the series - have I really written that many?! - sees Poppy both competing for a place on the school showjumping team and helping with a children's charity run by Waterby's celebrity resident, Instagram star Gaz Winters.

Gaz, who first made an appearance in The Mystery of Riverdale Tor, was such fun to write that I knew he would be making a return. I just didn't realise it would be in the very next book!

A Riverdale Christmas has all the usual ingredients you have come to expect from a Riverdale story: fun, friendship, adventure - and, of course, LOTS of horses! - all with an added Christmas sparkle.

The book has already notched up its first 5* review on Amazon, posted by one of my lovely beta readers, Claire Mill.

Claire has been reading my books almost from the start, and I trust her judgement so much that I am always confident that if she loves a new book, you will, too.

The good news is.... she loved A Riverdale Christmas.

Phew!

Here's what she had to say...
