About me
Hi, I’m Nick Frampton, writer and puzzle setter behind the County Puzzle Books and The Cardiff Christmas Club.
I was born in Devon, near Newton Abbot, and spent much of my childhood and early adulthood exploring the West Country. It’s an area I love, and whilst my puzzle book series has now expanded beyond the West Country, it was my passion for the Southwest that got me started.
As well as puzzle books, I’ve also written two novels, including The Cardiff Christmas Club – a feel-good festive romance set in the Welsh capital, where I lived for ten years.
Besides writing, I spend a lot of time working in the garden, walking, and attending festivals and events. I’m also overly fond of watching 90s/00s verbose American high school dramas.
Thanks for checking out my website, if you’d like to find out more about my books or service as a beta reader you can find me on social media or follow my Amazon author page.

Cardiff Christmas Club
A feel-good festive romance set in the beautiful Welsh capital.
After Katy returns from travelling, everyone expects her to fall back into her old life, especially ex-boyfriend David. But coming home is hard and Katy seeks escape in the Cardiff Christmas Club.
There she meets handsome farmer Rhodri and Katy soon finds herself torn between the two men. But a love triangle isn’t Katy’s only challenge… when disaster strikes she needs everyone to pull together to keep Christmas special.
Available on Amazon as a paperback or ebook. Also included in Kindle Unlimited.
Beta reading & developmental advice
As a writer I understand how important it is to get detailed and constructive feedback on your manuscript.
I offer an affordable and comprehensive beta-reading service that includes developmental advice and a light-touch proofread.
This means I go beyond the usual beta-reading level of feedback and provide practical support to help you address issues like plot-holes and characterisation using my own experiences as a writer.
