Reading this book was a highly frustrating experience. Miranda is also a regular contributor for writing a range of local interest articles for the Birmingham area and national film and festival reviews. She has also written several short stories, scripts and novel excerpts, many of which are published on. This was spotted on HarperCollins' site for unpublished authors, at the end of 2008 and was released by Avon (part of HC) as Fairytale of New York on 12th November 2009. Miranda began writing in earnest four years ago with her first novel, Coffee at Kowalski's - a romantic comedy set in New York's Upper West Side. To hear her music, visit - and be sure to leave a message if you like it! Her first solo project album, About Time is due for release this year. A songwriter for over 15 years, Miranda has successfully penned over thirty songs, delivering both live and recorded performances in a range of venues across the UK and Europe. Coming from a creative family where stories and songs were always present, it was perhaps inevitable that she would end up adoring words. Miranda Dickinson has always had a head full of stories.

Rosie is forced to confront questions she has long been trying to ignore, including will she ever get her very own happy-ever-after? A sparkling, romantic comedy about an English girl who finds herself in the city where dreams can come true - or so she thinks! But a chance meeting brings Rosie face to face with her past, unravelling the mystery behind her arrival in New York. Then a blossoming friendship with publishing hot-shot Nate begins to shake Rosie's resolve at the same time as her brother arrives in the Big Apple, hiding a secret. For the past six years Rosie has kept her heart under lock and key, despite the protests of her closest friends - charming, commitment-phobic Ed, unlucky in love Marnie and the one-woman tornado that is Celia. Even though at the time, it was her escape route from heartbreak. Moving to Manhattan feels like the best decision she ever made.

Once upon a time an English girl went to New York to live out her very own fairytale! Florist Rosie Duncan's life couldn't be better, she has a flourishing business on New York's Upper West Side and fantastic friends. Are happy-ever-afters made in Manhattan? Find out in this gorgeous debut, perfect for cold winter nights.
