Romantic comedy writer Kimberley Adams has published a festive novel set in her native Corbridge in Northumberland.

Romantic comedy writer Kimberley Adams has released Christmas at Corbridge Castle, a festive novel set in her native Corbridge. The book was published on 20 October.

Adams is known for her Lindisfarne-set stories. She decided to set her latest novel in Corbridge, her birthplace, saying: 'I was born in Corbridge and always wanted to write a book set in what is such a beautiful village.' She added that Corbridge is 'so festive at Christmas it just felt like the best location I could choose'.

The novel features a fictional castle. Adams said: 'It's fictional, we know that there isn't a Corbridge Castle, but I had great fun designing my own taking elements from the range of castles dotted around the Tynedale area.' The cover was illustrated by Felton artist Sarah Farooqi, who has designed all of Adams' titles and whose work is based on the Vicar's Pele in the village.

Adams' books are stocked in independent shops and galleries across Northumberland, including Corbridge's Forum Books, which has supported her work since her debut title, Love Lindisfarne.
