SPARKLEMAS 5: Meet Kieran Macklin

Posted on December 5, 2017 | Leave a comment

Meet KIERAN MACKLIN – a photographer with a quick wit and a hidden love. He’s the Third Amigo to Seren and Aggie and known for his cheeky sense of humour, but Kieran is hiding a secret…

In Christmas in St Ives we see him realise what’s going on (no spoilers! Read the novella to find out more!), but three months later in Somewhere Beyond the Sea, things are about to become a whole lot more complicated. How long can he run from the truth?

Kieran was a blast to write. He’s cheeky as they come (I reckon he’d even give Ed Steinmann from Fairytale of New York a run for his money in that department!), but deep down he’s battling his heart, his past and his fierce loyalty to his friends.

Here’s an excerpt from Kieran’s story in Christmas in St Ives:

CSI St Ives EXCERPT - KIERAN My dream actor to play Kieran in the films of Christmas in St Ives and Somewhere Beyond the Sea (because of course BBC Films and Richard Curtis are avid readers of this blog and, you know, are probably looking for the NEXT BIG THING…) is JAMES NORTON – as seen in Happy Valley and Grantchester.

SPARKLEMAS 4: Meet Aggie Keats

Posted on December 4, 2017 | 1 comment

Meet AGGIE KEATS – owner of a beachside coffee hut on Porthgwidden Beach, who is harbouring a secret.

She’s Seren’s best friend and the first to offer an opinion about what Seren should be doing with her life. Something has just happened that has thrown everything she thinks she knows about a close friend into question – but will she act on what she feels, or pretend it never took place…?

I love Aggie. She’s ferociously independent, funny and fearless, but also hugely loyal, strong and a great friend. Aggie’s lines are some of the most enjoyable I’ve written in both Christmas in St Ives and Somewhere Beyond the Sea.

Here’s an excerpt of Aggie’s story from Christmas in St Ives:

CSI St Ives EXCERPT - AGGIE

My dream actor to play Aggie in the films of Christmas in St Ives and Somewhere Beyond the Sea (because a girl’s got to dream, right?) is CHANEL CRESSWELL – as seen in This is England, Trollied and My Name is Lenny.
