Infos

A Ration Book series novella to warm the heart-strings on a cold winter's day. When the local girls' school gets bombed out in December of 1942, Michael Brogan and his friends are forced to share classes with the young ladies of Stepney Green. And when Michael meets Jane in one of those lessons, he knows it's the best thing that has ever happened to him. He may only be 12, but he'll love Jane forever. Unsure of Jane's feelings, Michael decides to ask her to his church Christmas dance. But Jane's father has other ideas, and so does the Luftwaffe. As the bombs rain down on London's East End, Michael starts to wonder if he will ever get the chance to prove his love. Will this be the year he gets a Christmas kiss? Jean Fullerton, the queen of the East End saga, returns with a wonderful new nostalgic novel.

I was born within the sound of Bow Bells in Whitechapel and my family have lived in East London since the 1820s. Until Nov 2015 I was a qualified district nurse with a BSc in Community Nursing and a MSC in Teaching and Leadership. I am also a member of the Queen's Nurses' Institute and spent my entire nursing career in East London. In 2006, when I won the Harry Bowling prize I signed my first contract with Orion for my East London post-war nurses series. I moved to Atlantic in 2016, who re-published my East London Nolan Family Victorian sagas and my best-selling WW2 Ration Book series, featuring the boisterous East London Brogan family. I have a total of nineteen published novels and a non-fiction autobiography of growing up in the East End during the 50s, 60s and early 70s. I now live in Bedford with my very own Hero@Home who is a rector in the Church of England. I have three daughters and eight grandchildren plus an elderly, very affectionate cat. When I'm not tapping at my key board I enjoy travelling, walks in the country and socialising with friends and family.
