A #romance novel around art theft: LOVE UNLOCKED by Libby Waterford

Absolutely thrilled and delighted today to welcome a lovely lady and someone I also call a friend. She and I met when we worked on her novel (this same one, actually!) at Decadent Publishing as I was assigned as her editor. So you might think me biased about this book... which is why I'm not reviewing it but it IS nevertheless one story that kept me captivated and I absolutely loved it!

Blogging with the ROSAs today! My first #Nano taught me....

I did my first of what I hope will be a regular slot with the ROSAs on their blog (Romance Writers of South Africa - I'm an honorary African member despite not hailing from SA *grin*)
It's November and it's National Novel Writing Month - aka NaNoWriMo or Nano for short. You pledge to write 50,000 words on a novel before the end of the month.
2013 marks my first year at trying out this endeavour. Come see what the experience has taught me so far.
