I am starting to feel a bit weird now. Like it’s a dream and someone’s going to rudely shake me away and tell me it’s not real. That I didn’t just sell six books in one year. Yes, that’s right. Six. Because I sent in my proposal (three chapters and a synopsis) of my Dirty … Continue reading “Um….Another Sale”

Writing A Virgin (Hero)
I didn’t enter SYTYCW this year and now I am suffering from a severe case of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). To distract myself from possibly slipping up and quickly whipping in a last minute entry (I think the deadline is up anyway) I thought I’d do a post on….. dun dun dunnnn…. THE VIRGIN … Continue reading “Writing A Virgin (Hero)”
Fear – If You Can’t Handle It Then Writing Isn’t the Job for You
Here’s a few things I’ve learned about fear after I sold: It never goes away – I used to think that once I sold my first book, I’d never feel afraid of sending my writing out again. Wrong. Somehow the thought that the editor loved the last book makes sending in the next book harder. … Continue reading “Fear – If You Can’t Handle It Then Writing Isn’t the Job for You”
Common Romance Writer Myths Busted
Over the past week or so (in between skiing trips and sending off my next book to my editor at Entangled) I have been hearing various things about romance writing and romance authors in general – and, surprise surprise, some of it has NOT been good.

Anyway, I thought I’d give you an update on … Continue reading “Wot I have Been Doing”

Blogs: Are They Dead?
Okay so I’m bad. I haven’t done a post for a while but that’s because all my social media falls off my list of things to do when I have writing that needs doing. So really, I’m not bad. I’m good. 🙂 For those interested, I’m now working on edits for the next in my … Continue reading “Blogs: Are They Dead?”
When Your Characters Scare the Pants Off You
Screamy is scared I really love my sheikh but honestly, in the process of rewriting Mr Sheikhypants, he and the wretched heroine decided to go to a place I was NOT comfortable with. And no, it wasn’t Huntly (though they do go into the desert, which is also not comfortable). It skated close to a … Continue reading “When Your Characters Scare the Pants Off You”

RWAus12 – The Pantomime
I think I said ‘the musical’ last year so this year it’s a pantomime. Sorry, I’m not going to sing or dance. That would be far too much. But I shall post photos instead. Had the bestest time evah on the Gold Coast for the Romance Writers of Australia conference. My third year and this … Continue reading “RWAus12 – The Pantomime”
