So, after the reality check of what my everyday life is like, today I head for London and a couple of days of actually playing at being a sophisticated Lady Novelist (I always want to add 'That singular anomaly' as in the Noel Coward song).
I have lunch with my editor - and we're supposed to discuss important things like plans for the next few books. Well - there's Sicilian 1 on her desk, Sicilian 2 in my head and that's as far as I go. That will be a short conversation! But I'm sure we'll find plenty of other things to talk about.
Thursday is the Romantic Novel of The Year Awards at the Savoy. Here I'll meet up with so many of my friends and fellow authors - Kate Hardy, Julie Cohen, Penny Jordan, Sharon Kendrick, Sophie Weston, Roger Sanderson, Joanna Maitland . . . And many more editors from Harlequin Mills & Boon. I shall hold Kate Hardy's hand as she's shortlisted for the RNA's Romance Award and will need a little extra support. Wish her luck here !
And I'll be back home again before the clock strikes twelve and I turn into a pumpkin again on Friday. So I'll see you then.
And while I'm gone you can play guess the winners - here are the two shortlists -
The Foster Grant Romantic Novel of The Year Award:
Winds of Honour Ashleigh Bingham Robert Hale
An Eligible Bachelor Veronica Henry Penguin
As the Night Ends Audrey Howard Hodder
Gardens of Delight Erica James Orion

Well, I have to say Kate Hardy, don't I? And not just because she's my friend. I'll also take a stab at Erica James.
Have a good trip.
Oh, I love games! They bring out the little kid in me.
Let's see... I'm gonna go for:
* Recipes for a Perfect Marriage Kate Kerrigan
* Kate Hardy - Where the Heart Is
Fingers crossed :)
Hi Kate,
Umm... difficult choices. I am going to go with Erica James for the Foster Grant award, and Kate Hardy for the RNA Award. :-)
PS. May I take this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU for your 12-Point Guide to Writing Romance... needless to say I am an aspiring Harlequin novelist. This book is helping me with every (painful, lol)step of the way. :-)
My guesses are Ship of Brides and Where the Heart is.
I vote for Kate Hardy!!
And I am so extremely jealous of you getting to see everyone!
Hijacking t'other Kate's blog here to say thank you for all the votes of confidence. That's really, really sweet. And it's made my morning.
