Emily Stone – författare

"Alltid i december är en mycket romantisk berättelse där de längtar efter varandra hela tiden men träffas alldeles för frustrerande kort." Lotta Olsson, DN

"Blandningen av kärlek, vänskap, förlust och en evig saknad lämnar ingen läsare oberörd." Marie-Helene Klementsson, BTJ

En oförglömlig julsaga om kärlek och förlust.

Julen är speciell för Josie Morgan, men inte av de vanliga skälen. För många år sedan förlorade hon båda sina föräldrar just under julhelgen. Sedan dess har hon varje december skrivit ett brev till dem med samma fyra ord: Jag saknar er, alltid. Men den här julen kommer inte att bli som vanligt. På väg för att posta brevet krockar Josie med arkitekten Max Carter en man som kommer att förändra hennes liv för alltid.   

Mötet med Max blir dock inte början på ett lyckligt slut som i sagornas värld. Tvärtom försvinner han plötsligt, precis när deras förälskelse är på väg att bli allvar. Under det följande året möts de på en rad oväntade platser: London, Edinburgh, Manhattan och på den engelska landsbygden. När julen åter närmar sig dras allt till sin spets. Finns det någon framtid för deras kärlek?

Alltid i december är brittiska författaren Emily Stones debutroman. Det är en vacker och fängslande berättelse om kärlek, förlust och livets oförutsägbarhet.

This book examines the social world of the cat fancy, or the leisure activity of breeding and exhibiting pedigree cats. Based on multispecies ethnographic fieldwork and interviews in the United Kingdom, it explores the process and performance of exhibiting cats at shows, the breeding practices and discourses integral to the creation of pedigree breeds, and the relations that these practices generate between human guardians, the pedigree cat population, and non-pedigree cats. Through observation with cat fanciers and their interactions with their cats, the author investigates the social dynamics and relationships that form within the fancy, considering the interconnections between biopower and eugenics in pedigree breeding, the practices of pet keeping and the complexities of more-than-human care, and the implications of involvement for the cats themselves. As such, Cat People: Human–Cat Interrelatedness in the Cat Fancy will appeal to scholars from across the social sciences and humanities interested in human–animal interactions, multispecies leisure, anthrozoology, and more-than-human care.

A young woman travels to the Alps to complete her best friend''s last request - and finds a love that''s closer to home than she realises in this gorgeous festive romance from the author of Always, in December and Yours for the Season.

Ali has always loved Christmas. She and her best friend Robyn had a tradition to exchange advent calendars filled, not with chocolate, but with fun challenges to complete.

Only this year, there is no Robyn. Ali would rather skip December altogether, and the reminders it will bring.

But before she died, Robyn left Ali one last calendar.

The first challenge? Book a flight to Chatel, in the French Alps.

The second challenge? Post a selfie with an attractive man to make your ex jealous.

Determined to give Robyn''s calendar her all, Ali takes a position in a hotel in Chatel, nestled in the snowcapped mountains, and snaps a selfie with a gorgeous stranger on the way.

But when she arrives, Ali is shocked to realise the surly hotel manager is the man from her photo. And now everyone already thinks she''s dating the boss...

Suddenly the season looks a lot more complicated than she''d planned. But as the snow falls, will this be the Christmas to thaw Ali''s heart?
