Welcome Scarlet!
Meeting Kate and the Babe Magnet
I was lucky
enough to first meet Kate and the Babe Magnet at the RNA conference in London in July
2010. I hadn’t yet made my first sale
but had a manuscript in with Mills and Boon and had an appointment to meet the
editor I was working with and was very excited.
I followed Kate’s blog on line and was delighted she was so friendly and
would be going to the conference.
But I didn’t
meet Kate first. I met the lovely
Stephen first. He saw me wandering along
aimlessly, outside Greenwich University.
He gave me a friendly smile and the words “Going to the Romance
Conference?” which was quickly followed by, “Follow me.” Stephen actually picked up a few waifs and
strays along the way and herded us along to place we were supposed to register.
I met Kate a
little later after a few glasses of wine!
I told her about my editor meeting (which had also involved a few
glasses of wine! Do you see a pattern emerging here?) and she was full of
enthusiasm and encouragement. I made my
first sale in Jan 2011 and Kate was one of the first to email and congratulate
me.
It’s because
of friendly people like Kate and Stephen that I love going to the RNA
conferences so much. People who take the
time to say hello and give you a smilewhen you don’t know a single person and
are just a bit terrified!
I have a
double bill out in August this year.
THE MAVERICK
DOCTOR AND MISS PRIM
Unleashing
the 'real' Callie Turner!
Dr Matt
Sawyer isn't afraid to break rules. After losing his wife on a field mission,
he thinks life is too short for red tape.
When there's a suspected outbreak in his ER, the last person he wants
brought in is someone like Callie 'By The Book' Turner!
Callie is
truly in the firing line, but Matt is reluctantly intrigued by the latent
beauty under her neat designer suits and sparks are soon flying - in more ways
than one - between the buttoned-up investigator and this sexy rebel doctor!
ABOUT THAT
NIGHT…
That night…
...when Dr
Evan Hunter had no resistance to Dr Violet Connelly in her silver dress and
spiked heels...
That night…
...when her
kiss made him forget he was her boss, and the consequences of his actions..
And the next
day. ..
. . . it was if
nothing had ever happened. Because
nothing could happen between them. Ever.
Until they
are sent to Africa on a vaccination campaign together, where the hot climate
and the less than ideal sleeping arrangements make working together difficult -
and forgetting that night impossible!
To win a
copy just answer this question…
Where would
you spend your perfect night? On a
tropical island, in a luxury hotel, on the Orient Express, or somewhere else
entirely?

My perfect night would be watching the wishes fireworks in Walt Disney world with my boys. We had a great time the last time we went over. Anywhere that my boys are with me is my perfect night
in a luxury hotel :)
Hi Taylor,
That sounds like a perfect night! I've been to Disney but have always been too exhausted to stay up for the fireworks!
Eli, I love the luxury hotel idea, would you go alone for the peace and quiet, or would you take someone with you?
Alas, MY perfect (romantic) night is in the comfort of my own home - with no kids lurking about!!!
Life is about the journey and not the destination (or something like that), so it matters not where we are, as long as we are sharing those moments together.
My perfect day, of course, involves spending time with my family and extended family. When my sister and her husband visit from 2000 miles away, we go geocaching/hiking and visit museums/go for drives in the daytime, and we do jigsaw puzzles and play board/card games in the evening. Again, as long as we are together, that is what matters.
That's lovely Laney!
Hi Scarlet - great to see you here. I met Kate and the Babe Magnet (I love that name Kate has for Stephen!)at Kate's Fishguard writing course a few years ago. Both of them were so kind and supportive to us "newbies". I've followed your journey from unpubbed to published HMB author and you deserve your success. Your books always require a hankie to be nearby! Now, your question. For me the most romatic time me and the DH spent together was in our campervan. Close proximity (nudge nudge), playing cards, walking the dogs and simple food cooked on a one ring cooker. What more can a girl ask for? ;o) Caroline x
Caroline that's a lovely answer! I was going to hire one of the VW campers for my other half for his birthday. Now I might just make the booking!
Hi folks, my son has picked Laney as the winner. Laney can you contact me via my website with your address? Thanks
Just sent response. Many thanks, Scarlet! I hope everyone is having a lovely day; this is a great start to mine!!!
A luxury hotel (5 Star) would do it for me....
