Hunter Romance Writers

Yesterday I drove to Newcastle for our monthly group meeting. Hunter Romance Writers. Instead of a meeting, we organised a workshop and had the lovely Annie Seaton as our guest speaker.

Annie delivered a Manuscript Assessing workshop, or basically the vital elements of what to do before you hit send. The workshop covered punctuation, grammar, and basic information that we tend to overlook before sending our baby into the big wild yonder. It not only refreshed my memory but I came away with a few tips.




Sarah, Sandie, Kerrie, Annie, Mary, Linda, Maree, Erin, Simone, Stacey. Ann and Amanda were missing here. I wonder what they were up to. lol.  A few members couldn't make it but we had ample notes to go around. :)
I have more photographs on my Face book page although with the light reflecting from the outside they were a bit dull and dark. lol... The professionalism  in me. :). It was a great day.

Woo Hoo! Look what I have

I'm so happy to be able to share with you my new cover for my next novel, Cold Fear. I love the colour and setting. It's so true to the novel.

Outback Dreams Rachael Johns

I've just finished reading Outback Dreams by Rachael Johns. Wow, what can I say. I fell in love with Monty. He was a real genuine hero. As for Kate I wanted her and Monty to end up together so much. A story of friends forever coming together, realising that what they were searching for was in front of them all the time.

 

So if you like that country feel, with romance you can read an excerpt here. I read the novel in one night, I couldn't put it down. I love it when I find a novel that does this, don't you?

 

The cover is awesome also, don't you agree?

Harlequin Australia, 1st October 2013

Faith and Monty are both looking for love...but they're looking in the wrong direction.

 

Faith Forrester is at a crossroads. Single, thirty and living on a farm in a small Western Australian town, she's sick of being treated like a kitchen slave by her brother and father. Ten years ago, her mother died of breast cancer, and Faith has been treading water ever since. She wants to get her hands dirty on the family farm. She wants to prove to herself that she's done something worthwhile with her life. And she wants to find a man...??

For as long as he can remember, Daniel 'Monty' Montgomery has been Faith's best friend. When he was ten, his parents sold the family property and moved to Perth, and ever since, Monty's dreamed of having his own farm. So for the last ten years, he's been back on the land, working odd jobs and saving every dollar to put toward his dream. Now he finally has the deposit. But there's still something missing...??

 

So when Faith embarks on a mission to raise money for a charity close to her heart, and Monty's dream property comes on the market, things seem like they are falling into place for them both. Until a drunken night out ends with them sleeping together. Suddenly, the best friends are faced with a new load of challenges...

 

Monty and Faith are both ready to find a life partner and settle down, but have they both been looking in all the wrong place?
