Girl power always makes me smile. At our friends’ wedding on Saturday we had a ‘pilot’ photo. The girls outnumbered the guys five to three, although we manage to leave one of the women out of the photo… (sorry Fizz..), and the guys tried to claim Baby William was a pilot in the making.

Good press
How wonderful to read a positive article about romance writers in this weekend’s Brisbane Sunday Mail.
