A love for all ages

“Older love is different to a young love with all that wide-eyed optimism. It’s more cautious, yet liberating. It’s careful yet wild. It’s passionately sexy yet respectful of bodies that have borne children, changed shape, been broken and healed.” Come and join in the conversation about ‘love for all ages’ on the Australian Romance Readers Continue reading


A Romantic High Tea?

What better way to spend Saturday lunch than lingering over a delicious selection of tiny treats while talking romance and books with like minded readers.

Just hanging out

Today, as the guest of the Australian Romance Readers Association, I’m talking about romance and St Valentine’s Day – since it is tomorrow after all 😉 Drop by for a chat and if you leave Continue reading
