The End

About the Story

It’s always interesting to revisit a story you wrote years ago. In the case of Twinkle, Twinkle, that’s over five years for me. I like to think my writing has come a long way in the intervening years, but to be honest, there was very little here I took issue with when rereading. It was a real pleasure, however, to be able to restore the original UK spelling, and to change a candy store back to a thoroughly British sweet shop. It’s all in the details, after all.

It’s interesting to see how little my interests have changed since writing this story. These days I’m addicted to watching House, and I still adore cabaret shows—both medical drama and cabaret made it into this story. Throw in a bit of cross-dressing, twinkly Christmas decorations and fairy magic, and you have a story that’s pure Jo Myles.

I set Twinkle, Twinkle in the town of my birth. More than that, in the hospital of my birth! Having seen the inside of High Wycombe Accident and Emergency from a patient’s perspective, it’s not really somewhere I was keen to return, but I loved the idea of writing a doctor. While I’d never presume to write a full length medical romance (I’d be worried about getting the details wrong) it was fun to try it out for a short story.

I don’t write a Christmas story every year, but I always enjoy it when I do. It’s one of my favourite times of year, and although I might say I decorate the inside of the house for the kids, I do it for me, really. Now I just have to convince my partner to let me deck the outside of the house in fairy lights!
