The couple have survived first date silicon dog poo, Christmas mayhem and even dodgy marshmallows.
Their future together may have looked doomed on
more than one occasion, but here they are at the airport – eating bacon
sandwiches and watching planes take off, as they wait to board their flight to
Mallorca.
A whole week in an idyllic Spanish fishing village. Just the two of them. Away from their families and the usual chaos. Wonderful.
What could possibly go wrong...?

Ben and Laura set off for a relaxing and romantic holiday. Their adventure starts off with a taxi ride from hell and a steep hill to their hotel. Ben is looking forward to some cycling on this vacation and that is just where the troubles begin. Unexpected guests have the potential to ruin the vacation but after disaster, something amazing happens.
You will appreciate this best if you have met the Scott family in previous installments, but you can read and chuckle at this holiday gone wrong by itself if this is your introduction to the series.

Author Bio –
My
name is Amanda Paull. Well, that's my pen name, not my real one,
which helps to keep my writing separate from my day job.
I
grew up in the North East of England and couldn't wait to move away.
However, after studying and then living both in England and abroad,
I returned to the North East and wouldn't dream of living anywhere
else now.
Going
to Grammar school in the days when teachers wore black caps and
gowns, and walloped at will, wasn't much fun for a shy, quiet
child like myself. So, I just kept my head down, did my
homework and tried to stay invisible.
I
used to love daydreaming and making up stories in my head, but I never thought
about writing them down. In those days, writing wasn't an enjoyable
pursuit, it was more of a time to tow the line and avoid being hit by
a flying blackboard rubber. I was the type of pupil who would
have been mortified to have 'made' a teacher launch one at me, so I
would have shown respect by not ducking.
A
short career in teaching was a revelation, to put it mildly. After going back
to University, I settled into my current post in the public sector, where
I am very happy.
It
was Jim, a work colleague, who suggested around 12 years ago that I write a
book. Apparently, my contribution to coffee break conversations always
seemed to be either tragic or hilarious.
But to me it was just normal stuff. No-one would want to read about that.

Then,
a couple of years later, while sunbathing in Mallorca with my
boyfriend, who is now my husband, and a glass of Cava, the
idea of writing a humorous fiction novel came to me. I didn't need to
make it all up though as I had a plentiful supply of funny real life
snippets.
To
get started, I studied creative writing through the Open University, which
fitted nicely around my job and, to my delight, was
absolutely nothing like school. The Scott Family Short Stories
started out as an assignment for this course. A Christmas Day Kerfuffle was the
result of the fictional account of the first Christmas brunch my husband spent
with my family. Of all the short stories, this one has more true snippets in it
than the others. The taxi driver and bike box scene in Pedalo Pandemonium was
pretty true to life, too. The driver looked different, but the airport to hotel
transfer only required slight embellishment.
I also write Women’s Fiction. Pictures in the Sky
was my debut novel, and I am currently writing my second, Painting Bananas.
