I made a mistake this week - I decided to tidy up and sort out my office . . . . That will leave me ready to focus totally on the book I'm writing - once I've organised my teaching notes (and prepared the hand-outs for the Relax and Write course on Before You Submit Your Novel - The Practicalities at Weetwood Hall next weekend. ) But organising my teaching notes led to organising every last file of hand-outs, course notes, writing exercises . . .
OK, it was a great excuse to buy some new stationary and lovely coloured files . . . but it still took up too much time and - well, do you know that time when things get worse before they get better? That's the way things look this morning! The Babe Magnet is also preparing for a course on Writing About Your Life - so he has hand-outs to organise as well.
But there's one thing about being busy in a practical sense - it leaves my mind free to think and plan the new story (working title currently The Wrong Bride ) so I'm also scribbling down notes and making plans as I put papers in files and plan work on synopsis, first chapters, opening lines . .etc for the 24th- 26th. And the story is growing as a result.
Other book news - I was looking on Amazon last week and discovered this cover. It's for a 3 in 1 By Request collection of past titles reprinted in one volume. This one - Secret Love-Child - is coming out at the end of October. The title of mine that's in it is Kept For Her Baby. Not exactly a 'secret love-child' story. But definitely a novel in which the love of a baby is very important!
The other two novels in this volume are by Catherine Spencer and Tina Duncan
I also spotted another 3 in 1 volume coming out in January: His Revenge Seduction - this time my novel The Konstantos Marriage Demand (the book that was awarded Best Presents Extra by Romantic Times in 2010) is I the collection with books by Melanie Milburne and Elizabeth Power. I don't have a cover to share with you yet -0 but I'll post it when I see it.
If you haven't already noticed, there is now a brand new Facebook page for all the Harlequin Presents Authors. Lots of news,messages, and interest for anyone who loves reading Harlequin Presents (Mills and Boon Modern)
. Why not come along and 'like' it - and join in all the fun.
