I Can Fly
‘For all those who believe in magic.’
I Can Fly is Ginny’s sixth book. After 4 novels and a book of short stories, Ginny has now written a full-length story for ‘children of all ages.’ The book features Marmite, the wirehaired mini dachshund who first appeared in Ginny’s Feel Good Tales published in 2015. Now Marmite is joined by another wirehaired mini dachshund, Nutmeg, described as being young, funny and feminine. She’s also truly magical. With the help of Tibetan flags, also magical, there are delightful and unexpected adventures in store for Marmite and Nutmeg
I Can Fly, whether it be read by adults to children, children by themselves or adults by themselves, is a hugely enjoyable and compelling story.
The book’s title is not only appropriate to the story, it also applies well to Ginny herself, who after writing 5 delightful and successful books can now certainly say ‘I can fly.’
It’s also worth noting, the book is a lovely object in itself. It both looks good and feels good too; like delicious and properly ripe fruit it is unexpectedly heavy for its size; a real pleasure to hold. It has 10 full page colour illustrations, which perhaps not surprisingly since they were done by Ginny, perfectly accompany the story.

Feel Good Tales
‘Bite-sized Heart Warmers!’
‘Lovely stories particularly fun to read some of them to my grandchildren!’
‘Feel Good Tales does what it says… I read Ginny’s new book during a hard-working time of collapsing exhausted into bed every night. I so enjoyed the anticipation and the subsequent brief daily transportation out of my own life into one of her lovely stories. A perfect antidote for today’s stressful world.’

The Smile Reviews
‘The Smile is a really enjoyable ‘girlie’ holiday read. It has all the right ingredients;romance,love,excitement,plenty of action,and well researched descriptions of beautiful European locations. I read The Smile from cover to cover in about 4 days whilst on holiday on the French Riviera. I’m hoping that Ginny will finish her next book, ‘Under The Olives’, before my next summer holiday’
‘For me it brought back forgotten childhood memories.The author has a wonderful way with words and I am still smiling at her description of a stay in a Scottish hotel with its lumpy beds and restaurant with couples who don’t speak to each other throughout the meal – I think I must have stayed there.The story itself has twists and turns making it difficult to predict what happens next…but of course it does have a happy ending. I look forward to the authors’ next novel “Under the Olives’ .
‘This is quite a story and the author has done her research very thoroughly.It is a romance which is fast moving and takes one on a descriptive journey through Europe. It has a happy ending and the book is aptly named The Smile, I look forward to Ginny Vere Nicoll’s next novel with interest’.
‘From the start, we are transported to wonderful, varied locations which fill the senses with aromas, vistas, sounds and textures which are so alluring and compelling. ‘The Smile’ is an affirmation of all that is positive. It celebrates timeless, unchanging values which are so welcome in this ever-shifting and troubled world. Pack it with the Jo Malone and the Factor 50. This is the perfect holiday read. No stylish woman should be without a copy’.

‘A true delight from start to finish’
‘I can honestly say that I was truly sad to have finished and immediately went out to order the author’s first book!’
‘I enjoyed this book. It has atmosphere. I started reading what I assumed was a romantic novel and it rapidly developed into a mystery thriller. This is a well written holiday read.’
‘A lovely story. Keeps you wanting to turn to the next page. Makes me want to go to the Greek Islands again.’
‘What a fantastic book. A beautifully written, romantic tale which was a joy to read.’
