So, after a long and surprising cold Christmas and New Year here in London town (yes, we actually had snow for once and my neighbourhood looked like a scene out of A Christmas Carol), I'm beavering away in my garret working on my eighth Modern Heat novel. Well, okay, I'm not exactly beavering because I do have a tendency to get distracted and it's not a garret, more like a very messy office, but you know what I mean.
In the interim, my seventh book has been accepted. Unfinished Business With the Duke will be out at the end of May in the UK and features a drop-dead gorgeous Italian architect-cum-British Duke called Giovanni Hamilton, an English pub theatre manager called Isadora Helligan, a posh gentlemen's club in Mayfair, a corset, a singing telegram and one sultry night from ten years ago which is about to come back and bite both of them on the butt. I'll be putting up a sneek peak in due course which will explain everything. Well, almost everything.
My free ebook Pleasure Pregnancy and a Proposition is still available here, and my latest Modern Heat book Public Affair, Secretly Expecting is due to hit the shelves in the US as a Presents in March and just got a whopping four-star review from Romantic Times Magazine!
In other news, I'm going to be mighty busy in the run-up to Valentine's Day. I'll be popping over to Kensington Central Library in London for a Mills and Boon workshop on Tuesday 9th Feb at 2pm. Admission is free if you want to join me. And I'm lined up to do a string of Local Radio interviews at the BBC on the 12th. Wish me luck with that cos I'm a radio virgin!
Do pop onto my blog to find out how my latest WIP is faring or just to have a natter... I'm always open to distractions (more's the pity).
Plus, there's a very informative article up about the RNA New Writer's Scheme featuring my amazing journey to publication on Suite 101.
Now all we have to do is wait for the daffodils to appear!
