"With her signature superbly nuanced characters, subtle sense of wit, and richly emotional writing, Gracie puts her distinctive stamp on a classic Regency plot." The Chicago Tribune

APRIL — EXCITING NEWS!

I'm delighted to announce my book, BRIDE BY MISTAKE is a finalist in Romance Writers of America's RITA Awards.

This award is the equivalent of the Oscar for romance writers — it's an industry-judged award so even to final is an honor and a thrill. The full list is here.

I'm not sure yet if I'm flying to the USA for the presentation of the awards at the RWA Annual Conference in July. Stay tuned.

Upcoming Events:
9 April - I'll be doing a live on-line chat at an ARRA Hangout

July 7th Have you ever wanted to write a novel? I'm taking a short course in writing romance for Writers Victoria at the Wheeler Centre in Melbourne. 4 full day workshops over four months — the aim is to get you really stuck into writing a book. It doesn't actually matter if it's romance or not — what I teach works for all popular fiction.
