About the Author

Chrissie Bradshaw, 2016 winner of the Romantic Novelist’s Association Elizabeth Goudge writing trophy, has written five family sagas and a Christmas novella. Her most recent novel, THE GIVEAWAY GIRL, published in March 2023, is a spin-off  of ROSE’S CHOICE and ROSE’S EVER AFTER, her heart-wrenching family saga set in the north of England. 

Her work has been compared to the late, great northern writer Catherine Cookson. “She gives this historical read a Catherine Cookson vibe, but perhaps with more of a modern attitude.” 

Chrissie lives beside the coast in a beautiful part of the country near to the Scottish/ English border and all of her novels are set in this area yet the characters have a universal appeal. Any reader who enjoys reading about families, love and relationships will enjoy her heartwarming stories of sisters who struggle with work, love and family. 

“ I have always loved match-making a book to a reader. Writing the kind of book I love to read takes this a step further.” When Chrissie is not writing or reading, you will find her walking her dog on the beach, travelling or spending time with her family and friends. She would love to hear from readers.
