One of the books I get enquiries about so often from my Australian readers is A Sicilian Husband. This is because this novel is part of a duo – the first title being The Sicilian’s Wife.
The first book tells the story of Cesare Santorino and his heroine
Megan, and in that story readers met Cesare’s half-brother Gio Cardelli. Gio
had adored his wife and had been heart-broken when she had died tragically and far too young.
So many readers wanted to read Gio’s story – it was
published in 2003 here in the UK, 2004 in America. But in Australia, it wasn’t easy to find as it was published in a
multipack of ‘Winter Warmers’ rather than as a separate title.
So if you missed it then, I have good news for you – and it’s
great news for me too. Mills & Boon Australia is publishing a special
reprint of both these titles in a double volume in their Bestsellers Collection which is out
this month.
I’m so thrilled about
this for a couple of reasons – on is that A Sicilian Husband is one of my own
personal favourites amongst my books. I always loved Gio from the moment I
introduced him in Maegan and Cesare’s story. And secondly because it’s a real
honour to have two of my stories reprinted in the special Bestseller series. It’s
something I’ve dreamed of for a long time – and I’m really happy that the books
selected are these two titles.
So I hope that if you’re one of my wonderful Australian readers
who missed Gio’s story (or perhaps Cesare’s) the first time around, or perhaps you just
want to replace an old/missing edition of these stories you’ll be as glad as I
am to see them back again. Or it they’re totally new to you – really hope you
enjoy them this time around.
Oh - and I've just discovered that over on the Mills & Boon website, my novella Wife For Real is being republished in their On Line Reads. This is the very first story in the series The Alcolar Family. It isn't available in the reprint of the 3 in 1 Collection - so if you wanted to know how that series began - and to learn about Alex Alcolar now's your chance to catch up.
(Wife For Real is included in the ebook collection of The Alcolar Family on Harlequin web site too)
Tomorrow in the first Friday in November which means that I will be blogging over on the Pink Hearts Society site. I’m posting a second set of thoughts following on from the So You Think You Can Write Contest - hope to see you there!

Now that's a blog post title that beckons.
Yes Mary, you were one of the readers I thought of as I wrote this. I hope this helps you to build up your Kate Walker collection.
