Message from the sick bed

Monday, November 30th, 2009

What am I doing? Do I have to tell the truth? Er, drinking a glass of Bolly and feeling a bit of a twerp, to be honest. Here’s me – just about ready to down my first glass of champagne in over a week, while my good friend, Margaret – who returned from trekking in [...]

Flu’s a swine

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

Day One: Should I be this tired? Day Two: Should I be refusing a piece of my own birthday cake? Day Three: What happened to Day Three? Day Four: Can’t remember the last time I spent two consecutive days in bed, but at least I’m concious – And hey, guess what? By 4pm my head [...]

Yummy scrummy and THANK YOU!!!

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Sometimes I wonder if I think about much other than family, friends, and chocolate… Is this a problem you and I share, perhaps? And talking about friends – thank you all so very much for showering me in your wonderful birthday wishes – my facebook page has turned bright blue with a sea of covers [...]

Insane

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Just have to say – will never complain about being chained to a desk again – took dh to the station this morning through rush-hour. Blimey, how do you do it? Maximum respect to all of you who brave that insanity each day! Allow me to suggest this as a preferred mode of transport (spotted [...]

The genius of music

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

I’m talking Queen – Brian May – Freddie – bliss. When it gets to half past five and I realise I’ve clocked more than 12 hours at the computer – though I have had my hair cut and blow-dried in between – I need a hit of something fabulous – on goes the iPod and [...]

Contest or not to Contest; that is the question

Friday, November 13th, 2009

I wish I’d known this ad even existed – I could have shared it with you – But – better late than never! I have to say that the Bedded by the Desert King cover is one of my favourites too, (see cartoon above yet again!) and is another credit to an art department at [...]

Hot, rich, royal, and also something tasty to eat

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

I have just rec’d my hardback copy of Book 5 in the best-selling Niroli series – EXPECTING HIS ROYAL BABY and I have to say, that cover is lush – Thank you to everyone in the art department! It’s available to order now, if you are keen to build up the series, and the formal [...]

Characterization

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

What? You thought I was about to launch into a lecture? Nah. The ten second variety, maybe. Okay, so this is all about… er, characterization. Look at Bet’s face – doesn’t that tell you everything you’d ever need to know about a rainy day? We have some really special neighbours – Hi, David and Anita! [...]

Dirty Weekend

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Dirty Weekend – I love this title – and it was book number something or other – anyway, after Bought: One Island, One Bride – so let’s say 16. I love it to bits – Not only was it the first book I ever wrote for Modern Heat – it is just so me – [...]
