Up up and away…

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Some envy for the balloonists sailing over my house today on a perfect early summer morning-until I remembered that I too will be up up and away before I know it- and that I have half a book to write before I leave for Menorca. Argh!
Not often I wax lyrical about dentists- but I’m going [...]

Facebookarama

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Somehow I have several sites on Facebook- and now I have another
See what happens when you let a techno-dufus loose on the web?
Anyway- the one with fewer friends than minimus, but more than all my other rogue sites put together-
the one with hundreds of you on-
Shouting Hi, there! extremely loud to all [...]

New title

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

Yay! Just received the mail telling me the name of the first book in my new Sheikh Duet, due to cross the lines between Modern Heat and Modern/Presents in January 2010
My first book featuring Razi al Maktabi for Modern Heat is entitled, Ruling Sheikh, Unruly Mistress!

Scarborough

Full marks to Scarborough for replacing the vivid shades we love in the Med with these eye-catching, totally renovated beach huts!
A brooding castle

A fabulous beach-
What more could you want

Wellie Parade

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

Am off to the east coast resort of Scarborough today for fish n’ chip, beach, cliff, donkey and ice cream fabulousness- photos to follow-
And for those of you unfamiliar with this fair isle, that will not entail shots of the author in her bathing suit- more likely to be rain-lashed inverted umbrella and galoshes- [...]

Heat me!

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

How thrilled am I?
Off the scale, with my next Hot Heat, Sheikh Boss, Hot Desert Nights being released in the Presents 60th Anniversary month: July.
How great to work with a publishing house that allowed me to expand my love of writing into a new brand- and Sheikh al Bad Boy, Rafik al Rafar, has to [...]

The Writing Fairy

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Doesn’t always sit on my shoulder- sometimes it’s the Blank Screen Demon. What do I do then? I write and write and write- I also colour code these ‘offerings’ with headings to give me a clue as to where they might fit and paste them at the end of my manuscript- And you know what? [...]

You want cake? I’ll give you cake!

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

We weren’t always outside in the rain, of course- while in Paris you have to visit La Duree, the most amazing tea shop in the world

Thank goodness they’ve opened one in Harrods- and I believe there’s one in Tokyo too.
How could we live without these scrumptious macaroons?

Though I have to admit- when I visited [...]

Why?

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I swear, the rain follows me around in France-
Thank goodness the sun came out for the open top bus tour!
The sun shines on the righteous, of course.
So, what happened here?

The heights I go to for you-
Oh, and the Moulin Rouge- Zut Alors! How hard they work- fantastic evening- Austin Powers meets [...]
