Hunter Romance Writers Meeting

I met up with the Hunter Romance Writers in Newcastle on Saturday, where as usual it was a great meeting. Only two members were absent, and we went over pitches for those members pitching at the Romance Writers of Australia Conference in Freemantle this year. (which is next month) It's lovely to catch up with other writers. We laughed so much, chatted, and basically it was a great day. There's something about chatting with writers. It recharges the batteries. :)

Two members couldn't make it and it was such a shame, I do hope you are better soon. :)

Suzanne H, Kerrie, Linda, Tea, Ann, Simone, Stacey, (she must have been hiding) Erin, and Deb.

 Well, seeing the meeting inspired me, I'm off to write, and this week I want to get heaps done. Take care, and don't forget to smile. You know the rest. lol. :)

A different type of review

I noticed on Amazon I received a review in which the reader explained Outback Fear in a different light. I liked this particular sentence. Suzanne handled the abuse scenes tactfully and without any gratuitous violent descriptions.

I don't particularly like violence of any kind, and I don't write horror.

5.0 out of 5 stars A tough subject matter handled with compassion., July 16, 2013

This story was not just about domestic violence. It was about relationships, accepting help, standing up for yourself and hope.

Suzanne handled the abuse scenes tactfully and without any gratuitous violent descriptions. Domestic abuse is extremely violent but she does not exploit this to sell a book.

I loved the suspense and guessed upcoming events incorrectly several times. I love when a book can take me by surprise!

The Australian outback was described vividly and I could visualize a pack of Kangaroos hanging out -like the deer we have here. I'm sure a pack of deer can dangerous as well - right?

Very well written, engrossing book. I recommend it.  Amazon

Also, if you are looking for something to read that will keep you glued to the pages, why not try Outback Fear, a suspense with a touch of romance. 'Outback Fear' is a story of one woman's courage of fighting back, a story of redemption and new found love. 

How far would you go to protect yourself and your three month old daughter? Women throughout the world are a resilient species, having to face and overcome difficulties every day. For Savannah Harris running is no longer an option. There are no choices left. The time has arrived to stand her ground.
