Just back from a fabulous writerly retreat down in the King Country. We talked writing, plotting, marketing, social media, and had a great time in the process. Looking out over Te Kuiti One of the best parts of a few days away with a couple of old friends is of course just the yakking. Drinking coffee, laptops on - laps! - heading outside for some fresh air and driving into town for brunch in the mornings. The backyard of the house - just gorgeous One of the things I love about the romance community is that we are so diverse - I write romantic comedy that is sweet, Rowena light paranormal and Toni more intense novels and erotica. But we all love what we do, and love talking books. Was a pretty darned perfect weekend!!
