Oh, crap. Well, what the heck have I been eating then...?

Thanks, Mistress A! Holidays and illnesses are no joke. First year without flu shot. Big mistake.
Not sure what they've been feeding you...I'm having wine for dessert tonight. But I'd eat chocolate cake instead if given the chance. ;)
Welcome back Cass!I agree that holidays and illnesses are no joke. Sorry you had the flu. I actually saw 2 patients with it today.
*Bakes amazing chocolate cake for the entire group*
Eat up everyone! Happy Saturday ; )

Thanks, J! Everyone around me is ill. I feel like I need a shower to go in and out of the house. Dampens my attempts to finish book #2. At least I'm eating solid food. Mmmm, chocolate cake...

Why settle for one when you can have them both? Wine and chocolate so decadent.
So true Michael. Wine and chocolate sounds amazing, even at 8 in the morning.
LOL: John Daly the golfer would have miller lite instead of milk on his Cornflakes, but wine for breakfast! I will have to try.
Hey, we're all quiet again. I hope you're all having a great time preparing for Christmas.
I'm writing as well as busying myself with festive stuff.
Just wanted to say hi (*waves*)
Right, back to it.
Ooh...someone supplied mulled wine and mince pies (*yoink*) ;p
Holidays are busy for selling and consuming wine! In between I have taken on biggest challenge yet in my world of writing. Adapting my first novel to a screenplay. Asked Santa to bring me Final Draft software for under the tree. Some of your mince pies would also be nice.
Sreenplay sounds extra exciting!I hope Santa brings you the software. xx
I have just started a new thread for it in the group. Its so weird to read a script and nothing like writing a romance novel. However, I get it. Well hopefully. Need wine LOL
Miss you guys! Working hard... Writing and editing! Will be back!

P.S. - Snickerdoodles are cinnamon-ey sugar? (resident bakers, please correct me if I'm wrong) cookies. And they are delicious...

Hi there. My name is Terrence Perera and I wish to give some details of myself.I attended Holy Cross College and the University of Ceylon in Sri Lanka. I am also a Chartered Accountant.
As a Chartered Accountant, I worked extensively in Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.
In Zimbabwe I also turned Horticulturist and grew roses, for export to Europe, in a metal, plastic-covered greenhouse of extent one full hectare!
I was also a Lawn Bowls player and took part in Zimbabwe National Bowls Tournaments
I am now an author and have written four books. My first book, “Sri Lankan and Zimbabwean Memories”, is a collection of autobiographical reminiscences. My second book, “Hernando Villa: A Sri Lankan Love Story”, is a novel. My third book, “Turmoil at the Villa” is the sequel to “Hernando Villa” and my fourth book, "Unsuitable Boys!", is also a romantic adventure novel with a Sri Lankan background. https://www.amazon.com/author/terrenc...
Good Morning all: A really good interview of me by author Rita Chapman. This was thanks to a GoodReads group. If you like romance/adventure read Missing In Egypt.
Check out the interview which had some amazing questions.

Congrats on the 4 books!!!! Super duper cool that your background is in your writing! What better way to share and keep things real, eh?
Hugs,
Ann
Hi Terrence (*waves happily*).Blimey! Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe, eh? Sounds very exciting.
Welcome to the group (*hands round what she believes are snickerdoodles*)
Thanks for the info Michael.
OK. No more procrastination. Back with my creative brain. I'm currently getting my evil on, writing my first ever sorcerer!! :O
Hi Everyone,I will be publishing my first contemporary/new adult romance novel in February 2017. It's called Lives Collide. I love anything romance because I need a happy ending. Kristina Beck is my pen name. I'm American and live in Germany. I can speak pretty good German. Anyone else living in Germany?
I look forward to connect with other romance writers/readers.

Welcome, Kristina! I need a happy ending as well. Gimme all the love. *sighs happily*
I live in Florida, but I've been to Germany before:) Absolutely loved it! I would go back to visit.
*hands out goodie basket* *puts out a pot of coffee* I still need a little more caffeine this morning.

Thank you. Where did you go when you were here? I love living here. It is really beautiful. I feel far away from everyone so I'm happy to have found this group. Enjoy your coffee. I'm off to make my own...late afternoon coffee.

I'm off to make my own...late afternoon coffee. "Oh, we did a lovely tour everywhere. We flew into Frankfurt, spent a little time there, also went to Berlin, the Black Forest area, visited the Neuschwanstein Castle (which was my favorite by far), a bunch of other little cities as we drove almost in a big circle around the country. We also stopped in Paris, France, then went to Salzburg, Austria where they filmed the Sound of Music, and then went to Prague, Czech Republic. Once done there, we swung back to Germany. It was a lot of fun and the two weeks went very fast. I would love to go back to Europe some day:)
Oooh guten tag Kristina. I went to Weil am Rhein years ago. I love Germany as a whole. <3
You join us at a very exciting time in your life.
All the very best of luck with your 1st book.
(*hands out gluhwein and zimsterne*)

It was great. The castle is awesome. We will be vacationing near Salzburg in June. I'm tempted to do the SOM tour with my kids. Or at least my daughters. They would appreciate it more.

That's funny. I'm about 25 minutes from there. That is a random place in Germany to visit. A lot of people live there and work in Basel. It's very international.
There is plenty of gluhwein around here. The Christmas markets are awesome. Thanks for the welcome!
Mod
Sorry for the late welcome! I keep missing comments for some odd reason. But, this group is so darn awesome that you've already been inducted into the clan ^_~
Hugs,
Ann
Sorry for all of those new fabulous people that I've missed! Welcome to the show. We are very excited you're here.

I love Christmas and I love snow, and I would absolutely LOVE to visit Germany one Christmas to go to all the markets!! A friend lived in Germany for a while and she showed me pictures and told me all about them, and I am just dying to go one year!!

Hi Jane! It's definitely a country to visit. Germans love to speak English so it is easy to get around. Even though I have been here for almost 13 years, there is still so much to see for such a tiny country compared to the US. Definitely put it on your list for destinations. Have a merry Christmas!
Hi, everyone,I joined this group about two weeks ago and have been getting my groove on. I'm Abby, and I write passionate and playful contemporary romance. My last book was out in 2014 - I do not write fast, especially with working and two teens at home. My ultimate goal is to be in a bookstore, so I'm doing the traditional route.
It's nice to meet all of you!
Mod
So happy you've been grooving cuz I mean, who doesn't like to groove, eh? ^_~ I look forward to following your trad pub journey!!
Hugs,
Ann
Welcome, Abby! So glad you joined us:)*puts out goodie basket*
Ooh good luck Abby xxPlease do keep us updated on your progress.
I'm self pub but will hopefully be in a bookstore soon. Just need to get myself well enough to venture into town. :)

I was thinking a snicker bar deep fried! We have Scotland to thank for a Mars bar fried in deep fat. Delicious. Why not snicker doddle doodles?

1. Love your pen name!
2. I'm totally on your wavelength with the bad boy alphas. Well...
Minus the fact that I kinda dig when the villain stays rotten to the core and still gets the girl *smirks*
Big hugs,
Ann
