Why Romantic Suspense Rocks: author Sarah Ballance gives us her take!

Hey beautiful people!

Delighted to welcome over another of those sweet & awesome darlings I have met online. With always a nice word for everyone, a sunny disposition, and a slew of interesting anecdotes on her FB wall thanks to her life as a busy mum of 6 (where does she find the time, and sanity? My 1 and occasionally 2 drive me nuts on a permanent basis!), she can always brighten anyone's day.

Who is she? None other than romantic suspense author Sarah Ballance! I've known Sarah for over...

#snippetsunday Khalid's on the threshold OnceUponASecondChance the #Muslim #1NS from #Mauritius

Hey beautiful people!

It's a calm, breezy, and sunny Sunday morning here in Mauritius today. Absolutely love the weather when it's like that; there's something totally comforting and lulling-you-into-peace when the sun shines just enough to not sting.

Anyway, here's me getting high on sunshine and going all weird-o on you. Apologies... Back on track - ye're all here for the Sunday snippet.

Once more, we're with the hero from my Muslim-themed 1NightStand, Once Upon A Second Chance. Remember, Khal...

7 Things You Might Not Know About Zee Monodee (via The Very Inspiring Blogger Award)

Hey beautiful people!

Once again I find myself up to my neck in edits and barely able to pop my head over the water level for long enough to take another life-sustaining breath. But with the weekend approaching, I'm starting to let myself bob up and down on those choppy waters, and the best thing to do in that state is... chill!

I don't have a progress report for you today (though if you check the WIP counters, you'll see the jump in work), but since I've been tagged for a blog award, I thought...

From My Playlist: British Chicks that run the show!

Hey beautiful people!

Popping in for a quick one to share a few things with ye all. I was listening to the MP3 player on my phone yesterday while cooking (music and lol, singing along, help me relax while *shocker!* being in the kitchen I now find soothing). So on comes a totally random playlist, but the thing is - these songs were all by amazing British female artists!

I must've mentioned quite a few times how my tastes veer more toward British pop and chart music. My favourite chart to follow...

#snippetsunday OnceUponASecondChance the #Muslim #1NS: What happened to Khalid when he married Leila?

Hey beautiful people!

I took a hiatus last week as I had promised myself I wouldn't do anything except act like a primadonna girl on my birthday weekend. Lol - yup, I think I was entitled, what with me turning 30 and all that (yes, I do owe up to my real age!)

But back on board today. Felt awkward to miss a Sunday posting when I've been uploading snippets for like 2 years now every single week....

Anyhow, I'm here and ready to stay. Join me in this week's hopping to check snippets?

I'm still with...

No Job For A Woman: Author Sherry Gloag talks about her Regency release!

Hey beautiful people!

Delighted today to welcome back a lovely friend and even lovelier person - Sherry Gloag.

She's written about modern-day royalty and her contemporary romances are sure to make you sigh with contentment when you finish that last page, but guess what? Sherry has also dipped her writing fingers into the Regency era. The result is this book (the cover you can see here!).

But she's here today to tell us a little about this story, and a lot more about her.

Please give her a warm w...

What readers really want from you!

(or my interpretation of it...)

Latest acquisition!Hey beautiful people!

Back on board with a random thoughts' post today. A few things have happened over the weekend, leading me to a realization that I believe applies to everyone of us.

What do readers want? I know most of you are writers, so this is the question that never leaves your mind, but this conclusion can be applied to any area where something is being offered to an audience (goods, services, experience, whatever.)

Let me first explain...

Author Rae Rivers asks if the Cat's Got Your Tongue

Hey peeps!

Welcoming another fantabulous author from South Africa today. She's the lovely Rae Rivers, and she's here to tell us a little more about the inspiration behind her soon-to-be-released book.

Rae is another of those darling authors whom it's a joy to know, and a pleasure to have as a friend. I asked her for a guest post, and she came up with this. Pretty nifty, if I may say so.

Here she is, and yes - has the cat got your tongue? Curious minds want to know!
