Cathy Woodman’s fourth novel to be set in the village of Talyton St George and the third to feature Maz Harwood It’s A Vet’s Life is due out on 10th November 2011, just in time for Christmas! Cathy’s Talyton St George series has become a favourite with me and I can’t wait for this new book in the series and to catch up with Maz again. I adore the cover - not only is it Christmassy, but it’s also in keeping with the other books in the series(!). Here’s the synopsis:

Long, irregular hours; occasional risk of injury; often smelly and dirty. Job satisfaction guaranteed. This is the life Maz Harwood signed up to when she became a vet, and she has never regretted it. She now has a beautiful baby boy, George, and she will be marrying fellow vet, Alex Fox-Gifford, at Christmas. But recently things have become difficult. Because between arranging the wedding, performing life-saving animal surgery, and taking care of George, there hasn’t been much time left for poor Alex. So Maz decides to take things into her own hands - with terrible consequences for all concerned. As Christmas draws near, Maz realises that she’s going to need more than a miracle for her and Alex to make it up the aisle and rekindle the love they had once shared.
