THROWBACK THURSDAY

A throwback to... 2013. A picture of me with fellow author, Rowena May O'Sullivan at the annual Romance Writers of New Zealand conference.
Taken only a decade ago but, boy, has a lot happened in that decade.

2013 was the year that one of the best romance writers conferences was held, and it was in Wellington. One of the best because it was the first time there had been a conference in Wellington, which was just exciting after all the Auckland conferences, and also a notable conference because it just so happened that the NZ rugby team, the All Blacks, were staying at that hotel. Men and women alike were gaga at the nation's sporting heroes in the lift, at the restaurant, in the foyer. Young and old alike. Fantastic.
It was also the conference that.... actually, I can't really remember what else about the conference was so good. Was it the guest speaker... but who spoke? What agent and editor attended? Good heavens, I can't remember. I just can't recall.
But I do know, without doubt, it was the best conference ever.

Two new books coming soon

It's been a while since I posted but I've been busy. I've been working on two new books. Shock! One is the next book in the Dating Daisy series, and also the next book in the Clearlake County series. Two new books!! I can hardly believe it myself, and I am enjoying them both. I'll reveal the cover for the new Daisy book soon!! In the meantime, well and truly into winter here in New Zealand. Even now, I'm got super warm socks on, and a scarf. If the nights are freezing, its out with the hot water bottle. And how good is a hot drink on a cold day? Life's simple pleasures.

Excerpt for Captivating Kelly

Finally, we settled on a title. There was Kissing Kelly because the three books prior are Dating Daisy, Promising Penny and Marrying Michelle , but I'm not a fan of 'kissing' in the titles all that much. Captivating really seemed to suit so it might not be KK, and is CK instead but there it is. Captivating Kelly .  Read on for a sneak peak at the prologue. PROLOGUE  (draft) KELLY BROWN SUCKED in a deep breath as she walked down the corridor towards the staff café, nerves attacking her with each step, and along with them, regret. The nerves because she didn’t know what awaited her. It would be small. That she knew. She’d asked for small. A cake would be nice, but that would be enough. She tended to avoid her own hype. The regret because all this might have been avoided. Might have been something she could have nipped in the bud, although she couldn’t even be sure of that. But whatever it was, it was, plainly and simply, sad. She felt sad. It took an effort at times not to lo...
