Catch up

Well, that was a busy week - I was racing to finish my latest book by the end of the month so that's why I've been MIA - I finally pressed 'send' to have it winging its way to my editor and I hope she likes Martha and Carlos  Diablo's story.  My working title for this has been  first The Ortega Inheritance  - and then  another title was The Devil and Miss Jones.  I don't suppose that the last one will be used but you never know.

I was thrilled that my lots in the Brenda Novak Auction had such a great response - the critique of a partial went for $325,  the Reader's and Writer's for $62 - so that's a great contribution to a fantastic cause - and the whole auction raised $300,500 ! That's brilliant.

And I'm just waiting to hear how much the Make For Macmillan book auction made - that's closed now.

Oh yes- and as it's the first Sunday of the month, today I'm blogging over at  Tote Bags'n' Blogs  where you have a chance to win a copy of One Night In Madrid .

And there's a new contest running on the Tote Bag Contest page where you can win 2 more of my backlist books.

And another good cause to bid for

Make for Macmillan is a fab fund-raising effort, auctioning off craft type things to benefit Macmillan Cancer Support. This week they’re having a Book Week, auctioning off an amazing range of books signed by their authors. Have a look.  You might find something by an author you love - or one you'd  like to come to love. An author whose signed book you'd love to own


I have donated two books to this auction - 
The Proud Wife

and the 3 in 1 collection Claimed by The Sicilian

I'll sign them for you and I'll post them to you for free wherever you live. There are lots of other fabulous books on off - take a look.

The auction starts today, and finishes on Sunday 8pm. Have a look here:
