Dylan and Dougall’s compendium

Dylan's Yuletide Journey

I said earlier in the year I’d be putting the three Dylan and Dougall adventures into one book this summer.

That gives me about a month to do so!

Dylan’s Yuletide Journey has been free on Smashwords, iTunes, Nook and Kobo for some time. It will be withdrawn when the new ‘Adventures of Dylan and Dougall’ comes out.

Dougall’s Reindeer Adventure has only ever been available in the BookElves Anthology Vol. 2. It’s still there, and will continue to be there.

The story is summarised in the Chronicles of Marsh, as I discovered it completed a loose end that had been left dangling from a couple of the books. I wonder whether I subconsciously realised that when I wrote it?
