Ruby, Ruby, RUBY - YAY

Winning the Romantic Book of the Year (The RUBY) has been on my bucket list for years and today I came one step closer. My debut novel, Lost in Kakadu is one of the four finalists in the Romantic Elements category. The Ruby is Romance Writers Australia’s premier award and the only one of its kind in Australia.  I’m so glad I  persisted through all my manuscript rejections. I’m so proud that I ignored the
‘It’s too controversial’ comments. Because if I didn’t then my book would never have reached publication. My publisher calls Lost in Kakadu meaty, challenging and risky. Yep, I agree.

I'm crying with excitement and to say I'm speechless is an understatement. Maybe Lost in Kakadu is exactly what Australian readers wanted right now. With a survival theme, fabulous Australian setting, mystery, secrets, grit, grief, adventure, and of course a happy ending, what more could a reader want?

This story isn’t just a wild ride with unconventional characters,   I hope it also makes readers think about how we need to live our lives to the fullest, to be true to ourselves and accept who we are. Sometimes crashing down to earth is exactly what people need.
Check out some of the crazy things I do HERE So if you are truly ready to get lost in a book, I hope you check out Lost in Kakadu.

Lost in Kakadu was eight years in the making and many many people have touched it in one way or
another. I would never be a finalist in such a prestigious award without each and every one of you. This award nomination is for all of us.

Thank you Romance Writers Australia for this wonderful opportunity. Thank you Australian readers for believing in my story and thank you to Escape Publishing for believing in me. I'm up against some very talented authors, but hopefully when the winners are announced in August, I can tick off another achievement on my bucket list.

Romance Readers are a crazy bunch.

Romance readers are a crazy bunch. I don’t mean in a psycho nutty kind of way. I mean in a passionate, live-it-up kind of way. When I registered to attend my first ever Australian Romance Readers Association Annual Awards night, I knew I needed to be prepared for a big event. I wasn’t wrong.

Here’s 12 things I learnt at the ARRA night of nights: My sexy heels for the night. 1)     The ARRA community loves romance, champagne, killer heels and bling. No nail polish, lipstick or handbag colour is too bright.

2)   Bronwyn Parry’s weapon of choice is a knitting needle and
Anna Campbell accepted her Continuing Romance Series
Award even after she was ‘murdered’ in the mock who-done-it.

3)  Twenty strangers preparing for their first kiss is guaranteed to keep an ARRA audience enthralled for at least five minutes.  4)  It’s exciting enough to win one award but when it comes to Helene Young, Anna 
Cowan, and Kylie Scott, each of these lovely,
talented ladies won two.

5)  Shannon Curtis may be fussy about the colour of her leather jacket, but she’s quick at finding all the handsome men in a crowd.

6) Of course, Kelly Hunter’s Short Category
 Romance Award was The One That Got Away. Partners In Crime, actually Romantic Suspense: Helene Young, Shannon Curtis and Me. 7)  It’s completely acceptable to bring pink hand cuffs and a riding whip to an ARRA event.

8)  ARRA is now Allegiance Sworn to Kylie Griffin for her Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Futuristic Romance
Award.
9)  Amy Andrews should be Holding  Out For A Hero after her Contemporary Romance  Award,  because her medical skills may now be in question after failing to dress in appropriate nurses uniform.

Look how happy she is. Amy Andrews, one very happy lady. 10)  I’m pretty sure Captain G and the other men in the crowd had something titillating to tell their workmates on Monday.

11)  Rachel Johns will have Outback Dreams forever with her Sexiest Hero Award.

12)  And Nilina Singh’s night of reckoning was completed with a Paranormal Romance Award. The ARRA awards was a wonderful, fun, interesting and unpredictable night. A night that would never have begun without the support from all the passionate ARRA members and of course the sponsors: Harlequin Australia, Galaxy Bookshop, Steam eReads, Bronwen Evans, Escape Publishing, eXtasy Books, Imogene Nix, Booktopia.

There is one thing that was predictable though: When it comes to romance you can always guarantee you’ll have a ‘Happy Ending.’ 

Cheers to
ARRA and thank you to everyone who voted for me and Lost In Kakadu

10 things you didn't know about me

1)   Despite my short stature I was the district high jump champion in grade 5. Back when the scissor kick was the way to do it.
2)   I like some of the more unpopular foods such as Liver, Kidney and Brains.  Ooo, when I write it down like that, it seems rather macabre. 
3)  My second pet was a cow called Moo. He died of old age. Maybe he could feature in one of my books one day. 
4)  My husband and I married on the fifth anniversary of our first kiss. That kiss was after a car rally in which I was navigator (one of my unique skills).
5)  I may have a touch of OCD. I have to check the garage door is down several times before I drive off. My kids will tell you how many times I’ve turned around because I can’t remember putting it down.
6)  I can sing really good. Especially in the car, loud. My boys love it when I sing on the way to school. Maybe that’s why my oldest boy loves screamo music now.
7) I have 101 things on my bucket list and I have completed 33 of them. The one that I think I may never do is pay off my mortgage.  But I may have cheated with Climb A Mountain because I ticked that off after I climbed Mount Warning and Mount Tibrogargan
8)  I love riding on the back of my husband’s motorbike. I do some of my best scene planning while the world wizzes by. He wants a t-shirt that says “If you can read this, the bitch has fallen off.”
9)  I love to scream. That’s why I do crazy things like white water rafting, scuba diving with sharks, abseiling, canyoning, snow skiing, rollercoasters, hang gliding and cleaning my teenage son’s rooms.  10) And for the final one.  I once asked Steven Spielberg for his identification. During Expo 88, he came into the bank I was working at to cash some traveller’s cheques. I bet he remembers me.

So there they are. The 10 things you may or may not have known about me.

You can check out more about me here. 
You may have missed my blog on my writing process.  Here it is if you're interested.

My Writing Process - blog tour

Research at Amberley Airbase Here's a blog tour that delves into the wacky (that may just be me) ... creative minds of authors, by asking 4 questions about their writing process.
Noelle Clark shared her process last week. Noelle is an Aussie author who weaves romance, suspense and adventure into colorful and exotic locations. 

I take my writing seriously but I feel blessed every day because my passion involves making stuff up. So here's where I share my writing process.

What am I working on?
I treat my writing like a second job and usually have a couple of projects on the go. At the moment  I have a first book in a Romantic Suspense series finished and I have just dived head first into submitting this to publishers. Hopefully Treasured Love will be accepted quicker than Lost in Kakadu took (3 years of subbing to land that one). I've also finished a crime mystery novel called Double Take - It's Quentin Tarantino meets Nora Roberts and my editor and I are putting the final touches to that one now.  Here's the link to the first chapter. So my next big project and the one I'm really looking forward to is the sequel to Treasured Love. Treasured Secrets is already mapped out so I'm ready to hit the ground running. How does my work differ from others of its genre?
My publisher called my debut novel - Lost in Kakadu - meaty, challenging, and risky. This is a perfect description of how I like to write. I don't hold back when it comes to crunch time, so some of my characters go to hell and back. When I develop my characters, its important for me to really know them, to understand what makes them who they are, and rationalize why they behave the way they do. I want my readers to be sorry to say goodbye to the characters at the end of the story. Why do I write what I do?
I love adventure, I love mystery, and I love a good adrenalin rush. I'm also a hopeless romantic. And these are the ingredients I like to explore in my writing. I've travelled extensively, some 36 countries so far and I always have a holiday on the horizon. You never know what country or thrill will show up in my books. When I write my stories I want to take my readers on an adventure they won't forget.  How does my writing process work?
Once I get an idea for a story in my head it seems to pop up all the time: driving, dreaming, reading - my brain just won't let it go. So I start a new scrap book for each idea, and when a significant thought for a character or plot comes up I write it down. By the time I begin to write the story I have all sorts of random scribbles, notes, pictures, magazine articles, trivia and drawings scattered through the scrapbook.  My notes are completely random. But this is the framework to the story. I pretend the scrapbook is the actual book by pasting a picture on the front, blurb on the back and I even make up glowing reviews. I told you I was nuts. Once I start the story I usually plot out the first couple of chapters, but then I completely let go and ask the characters to take over. The ending usually comes to me well before I get there so I can direct the characters that way. One other thing I do is try to experience whatever it is my character is going through. Short of dying or experiencing a plane crash that is. You can read some of my insane research here.
So there it is. The crazy writing mind of Kendall Talbot exposed.  Feel free to ask me any questions or make a comment. Cheers So who will share their writing process next week?
Jacquie Underdown : Jacquie writes fantasy romance that is emotionally driven and possesses unique themes beyond the constraints of the physical universe. She strives to offer romance, but with complexity; spirituality, but without the religion. Her novels express a purpose and offer subtle messages about life, the spirit and, of course, love. Jacquie resides in hot and steamy Gladstone
with her husband and two sons. Numbers and practicality are a way of life for Jacquie as she works as an accountant by day. So it’s no wonder, for sanity’s sake, she balances this banality with words, characters and imagination in all other possible moments.

Ros Baxter: Ros writes fresh, funny, genre-busting fiction. She digs feisty heroines, quirky families,
heroes to make you sigh and tingle, and a dash of fantasy from time to time.

My Characters Are Mean

To honour my exciting three nominations in the ARRA Awards (Australian Romance Readers Association Awards) the characters of my book Lost In Kakadu are taking me to dinner. But I’m a little nervous. No that’s an understatement, I’m extremely nervous. I can be a little tough on my characters. Some would call me a sadist. 

But it’s for a good cause. A couple of good causes actually. Not only do my characters truly discover who they are, my readers also have a jolly good time following their journey. So where would my character Abigail take me? It would be a highly pretentious, swanky joint with a
million dollar view, where they serve the best ingredients and most expensive wine. Just because I threw her into the jungle with nothing but a few cans of beans and sack or two of flour, doesn’t mean she’d forget the life of luxury she had before the plane crash. Right? How about my character Mackenzie? He’d take me to his own restaurant, wouldn’t he? I know I gave him a troubled life, full of tragedy and triumph. I guess he also suffered near starvation and I tortured him with the chore of catching his own food with  nothing but a sling shot made from Abigail’s fancy lace bra. I admit I took him to hell and back in Lost In Kakadu, but he did get to tantalise his chef’s pallet with some good old fashioned Aussie tucker. Eating witchetty grubs, frogs and snails will make him appreciate perfectly cooked lobster. Surely they’ll remember that sensual waterfall scene? How about the breathtaking scenery? 
 
But when Mackenzie wraps a black tie around my eyes, the knot in my stomach turns into a giant slab of cement. I guess it’s his way of showing me how dark it can be in the jungle. I remember I wrote, “The blackness around him was like swimming in a tar pit.” I’m experiencing that now. But wait, where are they taking me? And why do I need to take my shoes off? The rocks under my feet are sharp and the branches snapping against my arms are rough, against my cheeks they are brutal. Was that a spider web?  Abigail instructs me to sit, the snigger in her voice is not good. I reach out expecting to feel a chair, but no, a craggy log will do. And given that I made my characters rough it out without any luxuries, I shouldn’t be surprised.
A plate is positioned on my lap. “Eat.” Abigail seems a little cranky. Doesn’t she remember her path of self-discovery? What about their unexpected romance? “Do I get cutlery?” But I already know the answer.
Help me people. These characters are mean. Mean I tell you. If you're an ARRA member, I'd love you to vote for me, so my characters understand that sometimes crashing down to earth is exactly what people need. Lost In Kakadu is nominated for:
* Best Romantic Suspense 2013
* Best Book Cover 2013, 
and I've been nominated for:
* Best New Author 2013
Australian Romance Readers Awards. (ARRA) Here's a little snippet of the crazy research I did for Lost In Kakadu.  Maybe I am a bit crazy?
Or you may want to watch my book trailer. But I have to warn you, I write books better than I make movies.

What being an Aussie means to me. Blog Hop and Giveaway

I am so grateful my parents took that horrific 8 week boat trip out from England to immigrate to
Australia when I was just 4 years old. Because although I have travelled extensively - some 36 countries and counting, I know I live in the best place in the world. When I dream up my stories Australia always has a special place in my novels. My latest book - Lost in Kakadu - is romantic suspense set in Australia’s Kakadu National Park. Kakadu is some 20,000 square kilometers of rugged Australian bush and it’s as beautiful as it is brutal. The scenery changes from lush overgrown rainforest, to open savannah, to crocodile infested swamps. The sunsets are the work of our greatest artist and the thunderstorms can rattle your bones.  I did many crazy things while researching this book. I hiked for days in the sweltering
Australian bush, ate witchetty grubs that I dug from my garden, made slingshots with my bra’s, sat in the pouring rain and many other things that had my family assessing my sanity.

Lost in Kakadu is a survival story that will  also challenge your expectations of what a romance should be. I’m proud to call Australia home. And almost everywhere I’ve travelled I’ve heard our great Australian mantra: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi Oi Oi. Want to win a FREE copy of my eBook - Lost in Kakadu? 
Simply make a comment below on what was the most disgusting thing you've eaten and why.  Three lucky winners will be chosen at random on 29th of January - Good luck.
See below for more great prizes: $100 gift card and 26 books up for grabs Lost In Kakadu.
Crashing into an ancient Australian wilderness is pretentious socialite Abigail Mulholland’s worst nightmare. She survives the accident with two complete strangers, however things go from bad to downright hellish when rescuers never come. As she battles to live in an environment that’s as brutal as it is beautiful, Abigail finds herself also fighting her unlikely attraction to Mackenzie--a much younger man. A man she’s willing to change for.

Mackenzie Steel is devastated by his partner’s death in the crash, the only person with whom he shared his painful past. Now, as he confronts his own demons, he finds he has a new battle on his  hands: his growing feelings for Abigail, a woman who's as frustratingly naïve as she is funny.

Fate brought them together, but they’ll need more than luck to escape Kakadu alive.  Could the letters of a dead man hold the key to their survival?
My book costs less than a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and is available at: Amazon , Booktopia , Google  Play , Kobo , Itunes I'm so excited to announce  Lost In Kakadu is a finalist in the Australian Romance Readers Awards (ARRA) 2013: Are you an ARRA member? Voting open now.  Giddy up...

Hunky Hero - Doctors Beyond Borders

Doctors Beyond Borders
By Georgie Tyler
My hero is a doctor who is working for MSF in Sudan. He’s cute, has floppy, overgrown bronzy locks, lips you want fused to your own and is an adventure seeker who can rough it with the best of them. Not that unique huh? Well, my Ford (or should I say Ariadne’s Ford?) has an endearing quality that many bachelors don’t, he can hold a baby
comfortably in his arms without the baby screaming blue murder or looking like he’s holding a dirty big rat a metre away from his body. Now men with a couple of kids, they’re old hands, feeding and tossing their kids over their shoulders and throwing them in the air, but when you see a bachelor take a babe into his arms and the child doesn’t scream it’s little lungs out, well that’s quite something. But before I insert a very short excerpt from my book with Ford holding a babe, I have a funny story I’d like to share with you. Shortly after giving birth to my first baby, my husbands best friend who was a bachelor at the time asked me if he could borrow my pride and joy and my two dogs and take a walk along the promenade at the beach because he had heard that babies and animals were a good way to pull the chicks! Well, I can tell you it never happened and he had to find another way that didn’t include my newborn and pups to entice the chicky babes! I can still see the shock and then disappointment on his face when I said no. What did he expect? 

But I digress.  Here’s the snippet from Doctors Beyond Borders:

With her hands in her pockets, she strolled over. The faces that turned to her as she approached smiled, and the people fell away to let her through. 
 
Ford was standing by a trestle table flanked by women on either side, holding a tiny child in his arms. The baby’s large skull rested on his forearms, and his big, round eyes stared up at Ford as he was fed intravenously. Ariadne’s heart swelled. Ford cradled the baby, like the crook of his arm was made to hold the fragile bundle. He gently lowered the child into the mother’s arms and she stepped away into a corner where she sat, cross-legged, holding him. 

Want to know more?

She's about to find out that nothing is fair when it comes to war except perhaps, the healing power of love.
When Ariadne Tate takes a deployment to Sudan with a medical aid organisation, romance is the last thing on her mind...but Dr Ford Gosden puts a glitch in her plans. Too damn attractive for his own good and a thoroughly nice guy, Ford slowly seeps under Ariadne's skin.

But Sudan is not a stable place to form a relationship, and as political tension escalates in the region, Ariadne has no choice but to focus on her job and her safety. Under the protection of a UN convoy, she heads out into the war-torn countryside — and the unthinkable happens. Captured and held hostage by a renegade with no chance of escape, Ariadne's hope for a new life with the man she loves begins to fade and the fight for her life begins. Author Links:

Hunky Hero - Fairway to Heaven

Fairway to Heaven
By Lily Malone
Jennifer Gates has loved Brayden Culhane since he stopped the class bully from teasing her on the school bus. She’s loved him since he and his sister Emmy used to collect bucket after bucket of golf balls she’d hit after school in the practice range her dad built at the back of her house.

He’s the only person in the world with whom she would share Turkish Delights, because those are his favourite chocolates, too.

Brayden is big, and broad, and strong to go with it, but not ripped the way blokes get if they work out at the gym. He works in the West Australian mining industry, working fly in-fly out, in tough jobs where a bloke gets his hands dirty. As Jenn says when she sees him at the top of the beach house steps at the Culhane family’s beach shack in Busselton: “there’s so much of Brayden to go round. It’s a bit like watching Thor, but without the hammer.”

I don’t know if it’s unique that Brayden is a Corona man? He has the t-shirt to prove it, and he’s the kind of bloke who can get a bottletop off a Corona bottle with no flip-top opener in sight. This is
lucky, because at one stage they’re out catching squid on the Busselton Jetty, and they discover nobody remembered the bottle-opener.

And Brayden is my kind of hunky hero because he knows what Jenn needs when she can’t see past her own phobias and failings. Jenn needs golf in her life, and her Golf Pro ex-boyfriend almost killed her love for the game. Brayden is the man who gets a club back in Jenn’s hands and helps her strike the sweet spot again.

Want to know more?
It’s golf, but not as we know it.
 
When Jennifer Gates drives to Sea Breeze Golf Club to kick off date-night with her boyfriend, the last
thing she expects is to find Golf-Pro Jack giving one of his lady students a private—and very personal—lesson in bunker-play.

Lucky for Jenn, her best friend gives her the keys to the Culhane family’s beach shack on the shores of
beautiful Geographe Bay. Jenn hopes a weekend on the coast with her young son will give her the breathing-space she needs to rebuild her confidence after Jack’s betrayal.

But she’s not the only person seeking sanctuary by the sea. Brayden Culhane is there too, and Jenn
can’t look at Brayden without remembering the tequila-flavoured kiss they shared on the shack steps years ago.

As long-buried feelings are rekindled, and a friendship is renewed, Jenn knows it is more than proximity to the ocean that’s bringing her mojo back. Romantic sunsets, ice-cold beers and
the odd round of golf can only go so far, because this time, trusting Brayden with her heart isn’t enough, Jenn has to learn to trust her body again. Author Links:
