I've got it all going on!

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO BUSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just thought I'd shout that! But it is busy in such a good way! At the moment I am entertaining Amber for half term, poking about with three different manuscripts, ironing out the creases in one I have to pitch to an editor and thoroughly enjoying everything involved with loveahappyending.com oh and learning my lyrcis for the singing group and washing and ironing and gardening and Zumba-ing - SOMEONE STOP ME!!!

Ah but I am getting away for a bit next ...

Love a happy ending....

I am super excited today because I am now a featured author on a fantastic new website Loveahappyending.com which launches on 29 June 2011. It has been designed for authors and readers of books with the feel good factor, not just romance but any book which leaves the reader with a positive feeling. I have put a link to the website on my links page and would love everyone to visit and get involved. There are some fantastic authors already on the site and your support is massively appreciated. ...

Kindle #2

Yes everyone I have my second book on Kindle! Breaking the Ice went live on Kindle this morning and has already sold copies! For £2.88 instead of the paperback version at £9.99 grab yourself a bargain! And remember you don't have to own a Kindle to buy Kindle copies, Amazon have various apps for your various electronic appliances.

Weekend was hectic with concerts and parties and a family BBQ and now half term is here. Not a great deal planned at the moment, we visited my lovely 82 year old...

Finalist!

Yes today I am a FINALIST!! I am very excited to announce that my novel Strings Attached is one of the fifteen finalists in the Romance Junkies writing contest in association with Carina Press. I wasn't allowed to blog that the entry was mine but thank you to everyone who voted for it! I will let you know as soon as I hear the results. Im not sure but I could be the only Brit in the contest - correct me fellow Brit writers if Im wrong.

You must check out the new and fab This is what a...

Guest author!

Morning all!

The exciting news from Camp Baggot this week is that I am a guest author appearing on the lovely Suzy Turner's blog. Suzy is a fellow author and her young adult novel Raven has just hit the marketplace. I have to say the trailer did it for me and I will be reading it but if you also have teenagers into spooky goings on, witchcraft and mystery this will be a good novel for them. I have put a link to Suzy's blog on the links page so do pop over and have a look.

Mr Big came back! It i...

I go all electronic!!

Morning everyone! YES! Its happened! Excess All Areas has gone Kindle! You can buy an electronic version of my first chicklit/romcom novel set in Kassiopi, Corfu (an excellent beach read) for the cheap as chips price of £2.88 or $4.66 on Amazon! I've sold copies over the weekend but I really need to spread the word as far and as wide as possible! If you enjoyed the book please shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone because recommendations are the best way for me to reach new readers...

#59

I almost screamed with excitement last night when Knowing Me Knowing You was #59 in the Amazon Womens Popular Fiction chart!! It was the first time one of my books had made the top 100 and I was really chuffed! Its back down today but a few good sales and hopefully it will be boosted back up the charts again!!

More exciting news is that I will now be attending the Romantic Novelists Association Conference which takes place in Newport between Friday 8th and Sunday 10th July. I will be there on ...

Wow what a weekend!

I'm jaded guys after the fab weekend I had. Friday night saw team Old Skool come second in the Woodford Valley School quiz night. I have to say with most of the questions relating to period before I was actually born I think we did rather well. I think the only answers I got related to Eurovision which makes me really proud!!

And on to the Eurovision, well it wasn't the triumph we hoped for but well done to Blue and to Jedward! I loved both the songs and also downloaded tunes from Moldova...

Busy!!

Hi everyone

I am soo busy this week! Today I have already done zumba (and felt like I was going to die), now Im editing and blogging, I'm going to the lovely Salisbury ASK with the even lovelier waiter later and then Im on the search for some prescription sunglasses and after that tonight I am going to see Something Borrowed at the flicks. I cannot wait to see this film. I haven't read the book yet which some people might think is a mistake but the film trailer looks brilliant and I just hope ...

Salisbury Tweetup!

I attended the first Salisbury Tweetup this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was great to meet all the tweeps that tweet (try saying that quickly) and learn about what they all do! Some fab stories and relaxed networking over tea and coffee at The Boston Tea Party who had a really really hot and lovely guy behind the counter. I will definitely be returning for the eye candy!!

Today's exciting news is that I will be attending The Festival of Romance in October. This is going to be a fab...
