Read A Romance blog

Busy with revisions - so looking forward to getting to the end of them and sending this book back to my editor.
But just to remind you that it's still Read A Romance month   over at Celebrate Romance-  lots of  posts by authors talking about why love romance novels.

Specially this great  one by  Wendy the SuperLibrarian - well worth reading - like plenty of the others - while I'm preoccupied!

Hope to be back soon.

Tote Bags Day

I'm busy with revisions  and a couple of other things that life has thrown at me - but today is  12 August, and the 12th of each month  is my day to write a post over on Tote Bags 'N' Blogs.

So that's where I am today.   And being very British, I'm talking about the weather!

After the storms and downpours of the last few days, I'm hoping it's a little calmer today. Not that it will matter too much as I have my head down and my focus on getting revisions back to my editor. But I hope that for everyone who is holidaying - specially with schoolchildren - that the day is bright and sunny for you.

A Winner at Last

My apologies for being missing for going missing for a while - life can do that to you sometimes.

Writers' Holiday at Fishguard, preparing for some more courses coming up - details to follow -  revisions - all take up time when I was already too bust dealing with stuff to breathe . ..

So I'm late coming to announce the winner of the copy of Julie Cohen's lovely  book Dear Thing.

But to remedy that now -  Charlie the Maine Coon has forgiven me for  going away - twice!  - and has now condescended to pick a winner and his choice is:

Nova!

So Nova, please  would  you contact me and let me know your mailing address and I'll get the book into the mail to you.

Thank you to everyone else who commented  - and a special thank you to Julie herself for answering all my questions so fully and interestingly.

Trying to catch up

I don't seem to have had time to breathe since I last posted on my personal site - and I know I have to pick the winner of Julie Cohen's great book. But today is my date for posting over on The Pink Heart Society blog - so that's where you'll find me. And as I'm just back from the fabulous WritersHoliday - that's what I'm talking about.

I have to be away again  for the weekend so I'll still be trying to catch up when I get back.  but if you want here. 
something interesting to read while I'm away - then  there's plenty for you

August is Read A Romance  month at Celebrate Romance and there are  93 fabulous authors talking about  why they love and write romance - and  there are giveaways galore too.

So you won't even miss me.
