WELCOME TO

Dear Ms Yates,

We are delighted that you have booked your rooms to stay at The Chatsfield. And because we pride ourselves on creating the most unique and bespoke services during your stay, we have a few questions that we’d like to ask.

What time will you be checking in? I’d like an early check in, since my plane lands in the morning.

Will you be checking in alone? No, I’ll be with my fabulously handsome husband.

What morning paper would you like delivered?

Financial Times

Hello

We would like to arrange some music for your listening pleasure. Is there a particular album or selection of music you would like to listen to in your room during your stay?

As we know that you may be working during your stay, we are aware how important it is for you to have all your creature comforts around you. In order to ensure that your stay is as fulfilling as possible...

We have a wide selection of food available for room service delivery. What would your most decadent meal be that you would have delivered and why?

I want the hummus platter, with roasted vegetables and lots of bread, olives and cheese! And then an array of mini cupcakes. One must be salted caramel, and another pumpkin spice.

Do you have any special requests for your stay at our hotel?

Slippers and a robe. I’m always cold!

What is your worst habit when writing?

Eating. See above cupcake demands.

Do you have a writing routine? If so, could you share a bit about it with us?

I like to light a candle and play music from my specific book ‘s playlist. The above music was all music that inspired me while writing about the Chatsfield.

We’re always looking to expand the Chatsfield Library and welcome recommendations. What are the last two books you read and why?

I read All I Have by Nicole Helm because sometimes it’s wonderful to get lost in a down to earth, humorous romance when everything is a bit intense around you. And I also read Mine to Take by Jackie Ashenden which is much more intense and glamorous and all about a VERY sexy revenge plot...

If you could write anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I was in Paris recently, but only for six hours! I want to go back and sit at the café I ate lunch in and work on my next Presents!

We can tell from your recent published book that you have a vested interest in our very own hotels! So (curious minds want to know!) are you team Chatsfield or Team Harrington?!

Team Harrington all the way! Those Chatsfields are bad news.

What did you most love about writing this story?

The tent scene. You’ll see.

What has been your best hotel experience and what made it memorable?

A lady never tells!

What has been your most unusual hotel experience and why?

Definitely in New Orleans while waiting for a friend in the lobby of the Hotel Monteleone. It’s rumoured to be haunted, and she went to use the restrooms...when she came out she said she’d been startled by a woman standing behind her. But no one else had gone into the bathrooms that I had seen...and we stood and waited and no one came out after her!

If you could have given your hero or heroine a piece of advice before they started on their journey in your story, what would it have been?

To Sophie, don’t hide in alleys and listen to private conversations. To Zayn: Kidnapping? Really?

Thank you for answering our questions. We very much hope you enjoy your stay!
