Life’s like that…
I’m back! Apologies for my unscheduled absence, but there simply haven’t been enough hours in the day for the last few weeks. It started with GenreCon and hasn’t let up since. If you missed out on GenreCon then put it in your diary for next year or 2015 as it’s a wonderful celebration of Genre Continue reading
Cover Queen
Some authors seem to have a hotline to the cover fairies. You know the ones – they do a cover reveal of their new book and you sigh, your fingers stroking the screen as you drink in the rich colours, the curves of the heroine and the rock hard muscles of the hero. You’d buy Continue reading
Glittering Literati

Good press
How wonderful to read a positive article about romance writers in this weekend’s Brisbane Sunday Mail. There are a couple of beautiful photos to go with the article – particularly the one of Mandy Magro and her daughter Chloe – but you’ll need a hard copy to see them so track one down if you can.

Step back in time with Anna Campbell
It’s 1827. The Greeks and the Turks are locked in bloody warfare. Eventually, the Brits, the French and the Russians will force the Turks into surrender. It’s the last time a naval battle will be fought under sail alone. There’s plenty of action for the youngest sons of noble houses looking to make their way Continue reading
