Secret Confessions: Down & Dusty has been nominated for best series in the 2017 Australian Romance Readers Awards. Yay!
I'm happier than a pup with two peckers to announce that my next book is on track to be released on 15 Feb 2017 by Harlequin Australia.
The novel will be the first in a series that focuses on staff working at an RSPCA shelter.

August, 2016
I've proved all my school teachers wrong by achieving radio fame and glory. Surely being interviewed by ABC radio counts as fame and glory, right? Oh, well, anyway, the lovely Alex Sloan asked me all the hard (tee-hee) romance writing questions on ABC Radio and I loved it, media whore that I am. You can listen to the podcast here, as I bang on about various things, including romance writing, and my forthcoming release, Hell on Wheels.

February 2016
I'm pretty damn excited because I've been on the radio not once but twice this month promoting the Love Between the Covers Screening. I interviewed Elyse Huntington and Elizabeth Squire (fellow member of Canberra Romance Writers) on 2xxfm, and then on the 10th of February, the lovely Stella Frances and I were interviewed by Alex Sloan on ABC Canberra (who is a real hoot, by the way!) You can listen to the 2xxfm interview and to the ABC radio interview on my media page. |

February is going to be a big month! Not only will my next book with Escape (part of the Down and Dusty series) come out on 7 February 2016, but I'll be hanging with my romance homies at the screening of Love Between the Covers in Canberra on the 13th of February. Bring it on, Feb!

Book Signings Galore!
I'll be signing copies of Unrestrained until my fingers are nothing more than worn little stumps! First at Canberra City Dymocks on June 6 from noon until 2pm, and then at the ARRA book signing at the Romance Writers of Australia Conference in Melbourne in August. See you there! |

Print glory
Harlequin have scheduled Unrestrained to be released in print in June 2015. To celebrate this glorious achievement I intend to wear my underpants on my head all month! And take lots of shelfies.
Awards
Holy sand in my underpants, I've been nominated for an award, read about it here.
Courses
I was super excited to organise a small group online writing workshop with UK author Charlotte Stein in February 2015. Not only is she an amaze-balls writer, but she's funny, generous and sweet. I'd adopt her but I think Australian immigration would be a pain about it.
Forthcoming publications and work in progress
I'm working on a fantasy series (with strong romantic elements) that's chock-full of demons. The demons slapped me around until I gave them their own site over here. Book one is in the final stages of tweaking!
Biestly doings
Where have I been lately? I'm always hanging out at the Bookish Tarts podcast with fellow tart and writer, Georgina Penney. And the Naughty Ninja sandpit is full of my authorial footprints (I think I may have some sand in my ninja knickers too).
If you're super-keen, check out my blog post with publisher Momentum Moonlight, the one in the Australian Romance Writers' Author Spotlight, or this interview here.
And I was interviewed by the luscious Steamy Puddings! Mmmm, puuudding!
