Welcome to the Recorder’s Advent Calendar ✨
Thank you for popping in.
This page is the home of my full Advent Calendar index.
If you like Facebook pop to my Author page here and click Follow to get notifications.
If you don’t use FB – I get it but you’ll need to set your own reminder some of the fun is time sensitive – in a good way – there are prizes 😀
There will be fun, games and silliness to lighten the short, dark days of December for two weeks before the Launch of the next book in the Gateway series … Spilling the Tea in Gretna Green.
I’ll be adding daily treats—quizzes, snippets, recipes, jigsaws and small surprises from the realms, and a few festive smiles to brighten the darkest days of the year. Once the calendar opens, each day’s door will be linked right here so you can easily find your favourites.
Check back each day … Dola’s already rustling tinsel in a very polite fashion, Let the fun begin. 🎄✨
Day 1
Which Realm Would Claim You?
You’ve wandered into the Rainbow Gateway in Gretna Green at exactly the right moment.
The coffee is hot, the team have everything under control, and the royals are arguing, mostly politely, about who should issue your travel visa. There’s only one fair way to decide …
It’s time to take the Realm Quiz and find out where you truly belong.
Take the quiz here: https://linziday.com/which-realm-quiz/
Day 2
Somewhere Only Sheep Know
One of the short stories in the Spilling the Tea in Gretna Green Collection has a very British introduction.
I thought my international readers might enjoy it more if I helped by providing some explanation.
Especially if I shared it before the book came out, when you all have time to watch a video.
There are NO spoilers.

Day 3
Jigsaw Puzzles for Spilling the Tea
From gentle warm-up puzzles to gloriously tricky chaos for the aficionados. The rainbow one on maximum kept me happy for far too long—but then I am odd!
Put the kettle on and get ready to piece the chaos back together! 🫖

Day 4
Juniper’s Chicken Liver Pate Recipe
Juniper offered her recipe for Spilling the Tea Pâté as featured in the Valkyries are Flying, a short novel/long novella in the next book in the Midlife Recorder series.
So I bit her hand off on behalf of us all.

Day 5
Truths + a lie
Confession time: there’s a slightly unhinged “truths and a lie” game hiding on my About the Author page… and most people have never seen it. 😅
Some of the real facts sound less believable than the fake ones (because of course they do), and somewhere in there lurks a lie or possibly two. I’ve turned it into a little competition

Day 6
Interior Artwork From The Books
If you’ve read the books on Kindle, you’ve never seen the interior illustrations.
And if you’re feeling smug because you’ve read the paperbacks and seen those images, then hang on, because you still haven’t seen them in their original full-colour glory!
I’ve put them all on one page where you can drag a little slider to compare the colour and black & white versions side by side. It’s strangely satisfying. 😄
