Great big Blog Party 8 - Sara Hantz

I'm dashing out again, but here's our next Guest Blogger. I first met New Zealander Sara Hantz when she came over to the RNA Conference and was aone of my 'RNA Virgins' group - we'd met first throught the newsletter I sent out and it was wonderful meeting her in person.

And then when I went to the Romance Writers of New Zealand Sara was assigned as my 'minder' - she looked after me this time and made sure I had a wonderful time. I still remember with much gratitude the cups of tea and the cakes she fetched for me in the breaks so that I never went without.

Sara is now one of the growing list of 'Virgins' with a published book accepted. And I'm so happy to have her here to chat with you today.




Sara Hantz is based in New Zealand and writes teen fiction. Her debut novel THE SECOND VIRGINITY OF SUZY GREEN will be published by Flux in September 2007.

Thank you so much, Kate, for asking me to join in your blog party. Fifty books, WOW!! And that’s fifty ‘happy ever afters’ for fifty lucky couples. Your celebration comes at the time when my parents are celebrating their Golden Wedding. It’s an amazing achievement, and a real life ‘happy ever after’. I bet it seems like yesterday that they were getting married, so to be celebrating fifty years on must seem surreal. They’ve chosen to hold an Afternoon Tea Dance, how cute is that? And a great excuse for me to go out and buy something new (like I need an excuse).

I’ll be toasting you, Kate, while I’m there. Not just for your fifty books, but you as a person. You’ve been an incredible roll model for both published and unpublished authors. And I remember how kind and supportive you were to me when I attended RNA and also when you came over to New Zealand for the RWNZ conference.

Here’s to you. And Babe Magnet, of course!!

GIVEAWAY
For my question can you tell me about the best anniversary gift they've ever received. The prize will be a souvenir of New Zealand.
