Interlude in Snow

Carolyn Avon inherited an impressive house in the Scottish Highlands and made her way there during Christmas time to claim it. It was evident that she did not have the means to maintain such an enormous house, let alone hire the required assistance. Why then, did she not sell the place? In Interlude in Snow by Jane Beaufort, a pseudonym of romance writer Ida Pollock, mystery and romance come together in a haunting way and things are not at all as they seem in 20th-century picturesque Scotland.



Jane Beaufort is a pseudonym of Ida Pollock (1908 – 2013), a highly successful British writer of over 125 romance novels translated into numerous languages and published across the world. Ida Pollock has sold millions of copies over her 90-year career.

Pollock began writing when she was 10 years old. Ida has travelled widely, living in several different countries. She continues to be popular amongst both her devoted fan base and new readers alike. Pollock has been referred to as the "world's oldest novelist" who was still active at 105 and continued writing until her death.

On the occasion of her 105th birthday, Pollock was appointed honorary vice-president of the Romantic Novelists' Association, having been one of its founding members.

Ida Pollock wrote in a wide variety of pseudonyms: Joan M. Allen, Susan Barrie, Pamela Kent, Averil Ives, Anita Charles, Barbara Rowan, Jane Beaufort, Rose Burghley, Mary Whistler and Marguerite Bell.
