It's Romance Writers of Australia conference time in August. This year it is being held at the Park Hyatt in Melbourne. Just a little bit fancy! I really look forward to it and meeting up with friends old and new and learning more about writing from those with much more experience than I. I will be adding some photos of all the goings on to the gallery page so keep coming back to check.
In other news I am on baby watch. My first grandchild is due in early September and we are all very excited to meet him.
It has been a strange start to 2015 for me. On the sad front I lost my Father-in-law but on the happy front I have been nominated in two categories in the Australian Romance Readers Association's Reader Awards.
My first nomination is for Best Historical Romance for A Scandalous Wager
The second nomination is for Best New Author.
I thank all those who have nominated my book and myself for these awards. Voting is now open at https://australianromancereaders.wordpress.com.
Winners will be announced on the 7th March, 2015 at ARRC in Canberra.
