Things that are happening right now
First up - and perhaps most importantly - I have a book out. All They Need is currently on the shelves in bookstores right now, and it will of course be available as an ebook forever and ever. So far, people seem to be enjoying Mel and Flynn's story.Phew. Dear Author said nice things here. And there have been some other nice reviews, too. It's always nice when the story finds its feet out there in the big wide world.
I also had the good fortune to be asked to do a podcast with Dear Author and Smart Bitches Trash Books recently. I got to talk via Skype with Jane and Sarah and had a little too much fun. The result is a rather long podcast that has just gone live over at Smart Bitches. Great if you have a long trip planned, I imagine - like flying to Mars or maybe circumnavigating the globe. But seriously, it's not that long. You'd probably only make it to the moon. Apparently I can talk. Who knew? (Actually, I knew this. All my friends know this. My telephone company knows this. And now you do, too.)
Work wise, I am beavering away on back-to-back Neighbours scripts and enjoying them all very much, thank you. Good storylines, nice character stuff, a bit of light comedy. It's all good. Once this latest script is done and dusted I will be diving back into my latest WIP, which is currently titled All Good Things. We shall see if that title remains. I suspect not. Need to put my thinking cap on and get some more title options going. This book is about Angie and Michael. Michael was once married to Angie's BFF, Billie, who dies in the prologue from an undiagnosed heart problem. In helping Michael deal with his grief while simultaneously weathering her own, Angie finds herself first attracted and then falling in love with her best friend's husband. Juggling guilt, grief, love and hope keeps them both occupied for quite some time. I am really enjoying writing this story and can't wait to jump back into it.
I really, really wish that I had permission to share my next Super Romance cover with you, but it's not quite finalised yet. More Than One Night is due out in March and is set in Sydney, and I have been bestowed my first distinctly Australian cover by the wonderful talents in the Harlequin Art Department. Yes, there is a dirty great Sydney Opera House in the background! Woot! It's a very pretty cover and the heroine, Charlie, and the hero, Rhys, look just right. Hopefully I'll be able to share it with you very shortly.
Righteo. I'd better start writing for the day. I'm having lunch with my lovely Super Romance buddy Joan Kilby today. Hopefully I will be taking her some fresh cherries and strawberries from our orchard. Fingers crossed the birds and snails haven't massacred them...
