So, here we are sitting at the airport (one of my favourite places) waiting to go home after four days overload of all things Romance Writing. My husband always makes the journey south with me. He loves being one of the few men in the room (not that he admits to that…) and he’s sat next to Continue reading

RWA Conference Bound!
My bags are packed, Beyond the Borders first round of edits is complete (I think…), and I’m off to bed for an early start tomorrow. Can’t wait to catch up with everyone in person at the RWA conference in Sydney. It’s always a wonderful motivating weekend where we celebrate Romance, writing and our collective love Continue reading
An importer with a sense of humour :-)
In our house there’s an ongoing obsession with boats, more specifically catamarans. Every couple of months my husband comes up with a new scheme to allow us to buy the dream cat (so far we’re still dreaming…). He came across this site yesterday and it provided me with the most entertainment I’ve ever had on Continue reading
Anzac Biscuits
I’ve had a few emails asking about my recipe for Anzac Biscuits. In Border Watch, they are Lauren’s favourite treat and she coerces Morgan into cooking them as often as she can. Yesterday we had a visit from a friend whose son is currently doing his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Harry mentioned that Continue reading
Feel like a swim?
Ok, ok, so I’ve always been obsessed with water and swimming. I think it has something to do with being tossed in a swimming pool when I was six months old 🙂 A friend sent me these photos of the latest resort to open in Singapore. Gives new meaning to a ‘wet edge’ pool! Now Continue reading

0-100 in how many seconds?
Over the last few months I’ve spent more time in hire cars than I have in my own vehicle. Normally that means I’m in a pocket-rocket that does 0- 100 in my imagination… I’m the one in the little Getz going round a corner with the windscreen wipers on instead of the indicator. Or I’m Continue reading
Despair – a necessary angst?
And so we come to the final instalment of Robb’s thoughts on writing. It’s been an interesting week and I’ve loved reading other people’s take on the process. A huge thank you to Robb for giving so generously of his time and wisdom! 3-D Writing, Part 3 3-D writing is the art of surrounding readers Continue reading
