| December 14th, 2011 Putting on the Ritz – or the Dorchester, in this instance ;-)
At last! Christmas is sweeping me away into a tidal wave of activity – involving strange elves, train rides, frantic shopping, and general gallivanting. The night at the Dorchester was just wonderful, with over £60,000 raised for a wonderul charity named, Wherever the Need. The particular project on this occasion provides sanitation and clean water for a small village in India called Chennai, from where my friend’s daughter has recently returned.
A great time was had by all, and the sheer unbounded bliss of long-standing friendships indulged in to the max!
Wishing you all the good friends you deserve and much happiness as you share precious time with them Sxx December 6th, 2011
Things are getting rather hectic around Stephens’ Towers, as you have probably gathered, with a trip to London in the offing and a fab ball at the Dorchester – If people will stand still long enough, will try and take some pics
Meanwhile, I couldn’t leave you without my annual Christmas cake recipe –

xx November 30th, 2011 Hot Momma! This is quite an opening image for my latest Manga! Beth Tracey Torrance gets the shock of her life when she takes a stroll along a beach and spies our sheikh in the buff…
Nice shock? Bad shock? Remember, Beth Tracey Torrance has seen the front view… Putting aside the humour for a moment, I dedicated this book to ‘the wonderful people of Liverpool for breathing life into Beth Tracey Torrance.’ Liverpool was a city I came to love for the warmth, resilience and humour of its people in the days before I was married when I used to tour the country with an opera company. Yes, ladies, I know all about living in a caravan – And high octane drama? Bitchiness (no one spoke to newcomers for the first year – try that one one for size) – Passion – Hopes and dreams shattered – Deceit – Promises broken – Great friendships made -Wildest dreams coming true – Dirty tricks – Knives in the back – Knives in the front – Love -Fall-outs – Break-ups – Reunions – You’ve come to the right place. If I ever write anything other than Mills and Boon, it will be that story. But, I digress. Of all the cities in Great Britain – and we visited them all – I remember Liverpool for putting a smile on my face and understanding in my heart. Viva, Liverpool! You are one hell of a city Have a good one, ladies, with lots of edifying sights and wonderful, adventurous thoughts about exciting people November 29th, 2011 MANGA: The skill of the artist
Let me take this opportunity to show huge respect and a great big smile to Aso Ayumu, for their artistic tour de force on this Manga for my book, Desert King, Pregnant Mistress. I had the biggest smile ever on my face when I ‘read’ it through Sxx November 27th, 2011 How many shopping days to Christmas???
Plans are already afoot to keep Santa busy in this neck of the woods It seems we have a new generation of horsewomen in the family. And isn’t this a joyous sight? I just had to share this image of children enjoying a library.
Sxx November 25th, 2011 London: there is only one speed
When in Town I always zip around on the underground – Force of habit from my college days, I suspect – and so much faster than taxis – So you smell a few armpits – Get over it! But… I did notice that there is only one speed underground – and that is hectic. But apart from that I am really a very nice person Have a NICE day, ladies
Sxx (who saw Shameless Ruiz as a book for the first time yesterday – Hot Momma – I want him! He’s mine! Mine, Mine, Mine November 24th, 2011
Wishing the happiest Thanksgiving to my wonderful American friends. Without the writing I would never have met you, and for that friendship I am deeply grateful. Have the most fabulous family day November 23rd, 2011 The Spookily accurate astrologer, Xandra King
I love Xandra. but, come on, gal’ some of your predictions for Scorpio are… spookily accurate – and I wouldn’t want the whole world knowing about them Let’s take a peek, shall we? If you try to please everyone this Christmas you will end up pleasing no one – so please yourself then at least one person is happy. There’s no need to go about this in a ‘tail-lashing’ way – diplomacy is the answer – and compromise – (just so long as you’re happy with the compromise you’re making. There’s nothing to be gained by agreeing and then going round with a long face!) Tail-lashing, moi? I think you must have the wrong person. Hope you like what Xandra has in store for you for December. The truth will out on December 1st when Xandra make a welcome return to the Susan Stephens home of crazy site Have a good one, ladies November 22nd, 2011
First off – how exciting is the Clipper race? * Went to see Breaking Dawn at 9am Sunday morning with the team. LOVED IT. In the writing cave – it’s all about Luke, my 4th polo player – And can you blame me?!?! Then I spoke to minimus, who mentioned that she was missing the boat – one of the reasons being, life and people are more straightforward onboard a racing yacht. I pointed out that she can take that boat with her through life, set the speed and choose just the crew she wants – so in many ways she’s in a better place. Hope you’re in a good place today, ladies, November 21st, 2011 Thank you all for birthday wishes
We had an amazing time. And if you are within striking distance of Bradford in West Yorkshire, you must – and I mean YOU MUST try the wonderful restaurant where we celebrated with one of the most delicious meals I have eaten – this family-run business makes you feel as if you have been invited into their home – NOTHING is too much trouble. They even made sure the children chose the colour of the plates and cups they would be using – and you really can’t ask for more than that
I think you can tell a great time was had by all…
Some of us eating slightly more than others
And later there was ice cream and cake Who told me to ‘eat cake’ on Facebook??!! You speak and I obey!!! Sxx |
