Tea with Winterly

UPDATE: All of the books have been claimed and will be sent out this week, providing the post office isn’t too hectic. Many thanks to everyone who joined in. I hope you all have a very happy holiday and enjoy your books!


The Queen lifted the teapot and, glancing from one child to the other, asked “Well, should I be mother?”

“Um…” Jee wasn’t quite certain what to say, a sudden memory of their mom looking back between the car seats flickering in her mind.

“Yes please, your majesty,” her brother answered for both of them.

“Please,” the Queen told them. “Call me Winterly. That way we can be friends.”

Winter is my favorite time of year. There’s nothing better than to curl up with a cup of tea and a good book while the snow falls outside.

Today’s the Winter Solstice, we’ve still a long way to go before spring.

To mark the occasion, I’m giving away a free copy of Assam & Darjeeling to the first ten people who post a comment here.

Enjoy…

  1. And if you already have a copy, re-gift this one to someone else, spread the madness. That’s the true meaning of the Holidays, after all… right?

  2. I know someone who would love this book… and there is no way I’m giving up my copy! (I hoard good books)

  3. Although Autumn is my favorite season, Winter is the next best. I love the short days and long nights, and if far enough from the city, the stars which at this time do look like a firmament.
    So cool to get s copy.

  4. If there is still a copy I’d love one to give to my daughters. I listened to the entire podcast and I loved it. And while I seriously love a cup of tea I just as completely hate snow and winter. If winter involved staying inside and curling up with a good book and a cup of tea I would be happy. However, since I have to drive, shovel and pay for oil to heat, I’d rather my tea in a more moderate climate. :)

  5. I’ve just started listening to “Assam & Darjeeling ” and love it. I love both those teas, by the way!
