Prizes and podcasts

It's September 4th which means that you have just a couple of days to enter the Super September Contest that I'm running jointly with the wonderful Michelle Reid.


Bedded By The Greek Billionaire and The De Santis Marriage will be published as Mills & Boon Modern Romances in September. The De Santis Marriage will also be published in Harlequin Presents, and Bedded By the Greek Billionaire will appear in Presents in November.




But we're giving you the chance to win a signed copy of each of these great books in advance. There are two prizes of a signed copy of Bedded By The Greek Billionaire and The De Santis Marriage together with a copy of the By Request 3 in 1 volume Her Passionate Italian which contains my A Sicilian Husband and Michelle's The Passion Bargain.



Details of this contest can be found on the Contest page of my web site and Michelle's and entries have to be in by the time September 5th ends, wherever you are.



Incidentally my web site is now newly updated by fantastic Heather of We WriteRomance with details of the Beded By the Greek Billionaire, and information about everything I have coming up in the next few months. And Heather's own site, We Write Romance has just had a revamps and now has it's own regular blog - with planned guest bloggers for the future so keep an eye on that.


Talking of guest blogging - don't forget that I'm doing just that to help Jessica Hart celebrate the great achievement of her 50th title - we're talking about why you read romance and what keeps bringing you back to these stories - that over on Jessica's blog which you can find here.



If you're a would-be writer - and specially if you are interested in writing for Presents or considering entering the Feel The Heat contest that Harlequin Mills & Boon are currently running, then you will learn a lot by listening to the Meet The Editors podcast that are now available on the eHarlequin web site.


In the latest one, Executive Editor Tessa Shapcott and and Assistant Editor Sally Williamson are discussing the Presents and Modern Heat lines. You can find the discussion here

And the details of the Feel the Heat Contest are over on the I Heart Presents blog


Finally, as you'll know from reading this blog - and from the link in the sidebar, I am a keen supporter of Breast Cancer Research - a charity that Mills & Boon are strongly linked to as well.
This year the ladies of Mills & Boon will be running in the adidas 5k in support of Breast Cancer Campaign. Here's what Bethan Hilliard has to say:






This is Mills & Boon's 4th year of supporting Breast Cancer Campaign, and as this is also our centenary year, we'd like to do it in style! 10p from every sale of our Modern™ and Modern™ Heat books in October will go to Breast Cancer Campaign, as well as all the profits from Diana Palmer's Greatest Gift...and of course we're running as well!


We hope that 100 Mills & Boon staff, family and friends will be running at Hyde Park on 7th September, so please sponsor us and help us raise lots of money for this fantastic charity!


If any romance readers or writers want to sponsor them - there is a page set up at Just Giving where you can sign up to do just that. The run is on September 7th so let's give the runners all the encouragement we can and make a contribution to this great cause. After all, it's one that affects us all as women.

And there will be more about the support for Breast Cancer Research in October.
