September 3rd is Pink Hearts Day!

Today's the 3rd September so that means it's my regular day to blog over on the Pink Hearts Society blog. 


 After yesterday's lovely card from the friends Indebted to Moreno is dedicated to, my post on the blog is all about dedications and I've been looking at some past books, past dedications and the memories they bring. And I'll admit I shed a few tears over some of the memories as well!

The joy of dedications . . .

I came home to a lovely reminder of one of the special joys of being an author. Publishing a book gives me the happy moment of sharing the publication day with a dedication to people I care a lot about. (Or, sadly, sometimes people I used to care a lot about, but thankfully there are few of them.) Today a lovely card let me know how pleased the special friends to whom Indebted to Moreno is dedicated made me smile with happiness at the thought that I have such fabulous friends in my life and that they are happy to discover that I shared the book with them. Regular readers will see that several of the dedications have resulted from the many happy times I've spent at Writers' Holiday - and I hope to share many more.

The 'Mal' half of Malison is also the major support behind the self-pubbed paperback new edition of the 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance. Luckily, both these friends know I love cats - as do they - so the card (see to the side) made me smile for other reasons
