August 2010

I'm just home from the Romance Writers of Australia annual national conference at Coogee Beach in Sydney, where I had a great time catching up with old friends and making new ones. It's the perfect mix of business and pleasure, and I always come away weary from lack of sleep, but with a buzzing brain full of new ideas. I'll be blogging about the conference on the Word Wenches on the 30th.

I came home to a pile of mail from people waiting impatiently for the release of my new book, The Accidental Wedding, so I've put an extract up here. It might be a little bit choppy, as I've taken a bit from here and there, but I hope it will give you an idea of the story.
This is Nash's story - he's Gabe and Harry's diplomat brother. And if you've been wondering about Luke's story — don't worry, he's next. I've had a lot of mail asking about Luke, and he certainly hasn't been forgotten.

At the conference there was some talk of our mangas, so I'm leaving the pictures up for a little longer. I have two books translated into mangas — An Honorable Thief, and my Christmas novella, The Virtuous Widow, and I love them to bits. Here is the front cover and a scene from each book - in Hon. Thief, the hero confronts the heroine, who's disguised as the Chinese burglar. And from the Virtuous Widow, the routing of the evil landlord scene. I blogged about mangas on Word Wenches here, if you want to know more.
