RWA Nationals!

I'm getting very excited as I'm going to my first ever Romance Writers of America National conference next week in Anaheim, Orange County USA!!

I'm also taking part in the Literacy signing- where hundreds of authors sell/sign their books and a portion of the revenue goes to the Proliteracy Worldwide charity.  To find out more about this event, who's attending and who will be signing click here.

I've been to a few romance writing conference before- in Australia and New Zealand, but nothing on such a scale as this. There are over 2000 delegates, so I'm expecting a wall of noise, chaos of dizzying proportions and a good amount of fun.

So, catch up with my news when I'm back- early August!

Waking Up With His Runaway Bride OUT NOW!

So- *cue drum roll*

Book two is OUT!

Waking Up with His Runaway Bride has finally hit the shelves and I'm so excited! Already it has had some great reviews and I'm thrilled people are enjoying it.

See reviews here: mills and boon and here at romance book haven

Here's a picture of the fabulous Australia/NZ copy which is out in August! So be sure to look out for a copy!

I can't believe that this time last year I hadn't even received The Call- and yet here I am- two books out, another due in November...a fourth one in the revision stage and number five currently being planned.

It's been a heck of a year!
