The Writing Process Blog Chain

I’ve been tagged by Australian author Cathryn Hein to continue this electronic chain letter. I’ve known Cathryn online for a number of years, and had the great pleasure of meeting her face to face at the RWA conference at Coogee Beach. (And I promptly swiped the setting for part of ‘Resisting Nick’.)

Cathryn writes powerful, passionate and moving rural love stories. Her first - ‘Promises’ – is on the bookshelf right beside me. This was followed by ‘Heart of the Valley’ and ‘Heartland’. Check out her website for news, excerpts and more.

And now I’d better answer the four questions expected of me.

What am I working on?  

The third of my ‘Heartland Heroines’ series. It’s called ‘More than the Money’ – and you can easily guess that the ‘more’ is love. It’s a forced marriage story. Will nasty Grandpa get his way and coerce his shy grand-daughter Alfie into marrying Rory, the Kiwi cowboy newly returned from Texas? Rory’s keen because he’ll inherit half of beautiful Glenleighton Estate. Alfie’s definitely NOT keen because she sees it as losing her half – and a great deal more besides. Grandpa Alfred is pushing them together, but will he prevail? Or will they turn the tables on him?

As well, I have two more Sheikh novels under way. This was the year I was going to retire and write full-time. Not happening so far!
