Hi ladies,

I'm really doing this as a test post because someone said they couldn't get an image to post to FoR.

That aside, over at Romantic Friday Writers we hold a weekly challenge for romance writers. Whether you're a published or aspiring romance writer it's a great marketing tool and window on your wares!!!

All you have to do to participate is a select a 400 word snippet…

The group blog I belong to is holding is first Blogfest to celebrate gaining 100 followers.

It's easy and fun - all you have to do is tell us about the first 'adult' book (as opposed to a chioldren's book) you ever read.

Was it a classic, or was it something you had to hide from your Mom?

Sign up and tell us about it! …

Retro Centre and Samuel Pepys

I always enjoy visiting St Albans.  Yesterday I visited a treasure house of items from times past at a Retro Centre, which I will visit again, and I shall attend the Retro Fair next weekend. 

The Retro Centre is divided into sections where different sellers arrange their wares.  China, glass, curios, soft furnishings, clothes and a treasure house of books.

As I went round I yearned to own a…

My rocky road is not an unusual one but it has required determination.

Years ago. when I lived in Kenya, I had two novels accepted by mainstream uk publishers.  Both contracts fell through - it's too long a story to go into detail.  When I approached the Society of Authors I was advised that a publication date should always be included in the contract between the agent and the publisher.  If it is not, the publisher can hang onto a novel without publishing…

I've just e-published EMOTIONAL GEOLOGY for Kindle and it should go on sale tomorrow in the UK and in 2-3 days elsewhere.

This was my first novel and now has a devoted following. (Or rather the hero does.) Published in 2005, EMOTIONAL…

I am so easily distracted!  Supposed to be sorting out the first draft of my novel so I can submit it to the NWS and I keep finding lots of interesting and fun distractions on this site!  

And on that note.......

Hi guys

I could really do with the benefit of everyone's experience and wisdom as I am seriously floundering like a beached whale!  I write supernatural romance.  It has a humurous edge but not at the cost of intensity between the love interests and there is definite suspense and darker threats. 

I finished the first book at the end of last year and have done very little with it because I simply have no idea where to send it.  The red book doesn't list agents specialising in…
