What's Next?

This is a busy month! I have just sent a book off to my editor, so fingers crossed for her verdict on that. It has secrets, a marriage of convenience that proves to be anything but convenient and the looming presence of Newgate prison.

The Danger & Desire trilogy launches in North America with Ravished by the Rake a story which combines research done in two magical places – Kolkata and the Isles of Scilly.

And finally I am busy plotting my Christmas novella which will be set in a part of the world very dear to me – the Chiltern Hills of Hertfordshire. The hero is going to find himself snowed up in the village alehouse which will mean some hard work for him as well as an encounter with a most unusual Ale Wife. It was also great fun to research some ale-based drinks, some disgusting, others which sound quite tasty.

Come and Meet Me

To help celebrate National Libraries Week I will be holding practical sessions on writing at two libraries in Bedfordshire this month.

On Saturday 4th February 10.45-12.45 at Flitwick Library (0300 30 8057) I will be talking about writing women’s fiction and on Saturday 11th February at Sandy Library (0300 300 8065) 2.00- 4.00 I will be talking about writing historical fiction. Contact the libraries or check out http://www.galaxy.bedfordshire.gov.uk/webingres/bedfordshire/vlib/0.whats_on/

I am thrilled to be the tutor for a course on Writing Romantic Fiction at the lovely Chez Castillon deep in the heart of France on the banks of the River Dordogne. It sounds idyllic – hope you can join me there!

Kindle

Many of my books are now available at Amazon.co.uk (£ prices) and Amazon.com ($ prices) as Kindle downloads. All those that are in print as paperbacks have Kindle editions, but I’ve added the links for Kindle on the Books page where there are no print editions.
