When the Thorne family gather for the festivities–the arguments, jealousies and enmities that make every family Christmas so special – they think they’ll only have to endure each other for three days.

Meet JackJack Rossiter. I'm twenty-seven years old, single, and live with my best mate Matt. And single is good, single is fun. Meet AmySometimes in my darker moments I've thought about applying to go on Blind Date. 'She's gorgeous, she's from London, come in Amy Crosbie!' (Wolf whistling and applause.) Actually it's a bit of a worry.

MEET JACK Dadness . Women have a sixth sense for it. To them, you're like an old bull in a field at the side of the motorway, harmlessly chewing the cud, watching the world race by, nothing like the wild buffalo stock from which you came. And that's how it should be, of course, after seven years of marriage to the woman you love. But, lately, as I've looked around, all I've seen is temptation. From random women in the pub, to my foxy new boss...they've left me doubting whether I've really been put out to pasture at all... MEET AMY Motherhood, I've discovered, is the great leveller. I could be a celebrated fashion designer (instead of the finding, cleaning, bum-wiping domestic robot I've become), but having kids automatically makes me the same as all the other mums in 'The Coven' up the park. And being 'the same' makes me want to do something terribly rash - like rediscover the impulsive person I used to be. Don't get me wrong, I love Jack and our son, but everyone else seems to be having so much more fun than me - and so much more sex... The pressure's on. Can they resist The Seven Year Itch? Can you? And if one of them cracks? Will it be Amy or Jack? It's time to find out...

As the 1980's dawn in the sleepy English village of Rushton, Mickey and Fred are next-door neighbours and best friends, in and out of scrapes from the day they're born. They're convinced that nothing will ever keep them apart. But they're wrong. Fifteen years later, Mickey is beginning a new phase of her life, with a small flower shop in London. Meanwhile, Fred's life is also changing: he's set to marry his girlfriend in just a few short weeks. Then he bumps into Mickey for the first time since their worlds fell apart. As they pick up the threads of their friendship, Fred and Mickey relive their glory days growing up in Rushton. But can they ever really overcome the devastating events that once tore them apart? And is it true what they say about first loves being forever? Warm, funny and sad, The Boy Next Door is a story about growing up, falling in and out of love and learning you're never too old to be a kid.

When successful author Adam Appleton invites Amazonia Skreen to his home, he unwittingly turns the page of the last short and unpleasant chapter of his life. But for his killer it is just the beginning of a twisted narrative of revenge where members of the literary community are felled one by one. A debut novel.

Another hilarious parody of a much-loved children's book from the bestselling authors of We're Going on a Bar Hunt and The Very Hungover Caterpillar.
