Last Saturday night we joined the stream of people heading to the Southbank parklands under an overcast and threatening sky. A chill wind curled in off the river swirling the smells of cooking through the crowd. For those that had been camped out since lunch time the relay run to facilities was turning into a Continue reading

Forbidden – the lucky winner
Sorry for the delay in announcing the winner of Christina Phillips fabulous new book FORBIDDEN…. The delay is all mine… It was very close, and indeed two people had nominated the same hero by another name, so we resorted to the random draw option. And the lucky winner is Louisa Cornell! Yay, Louisa!! Send me Continue reading
Forbidden
I’m very excited to welcome Christina Phillips to my blog today. Her new book FORBIDDEN will be released Tuesday, 7th September. FORBIDDEN is an Ancient Historical Romance that’s hotter than hot. I’ve always been a bit of a history nut and the Romans just seem to encapsulate the essence of powerful warriors. Christina’s hero, Maximus, Continue reading
Family
My elderly mum (she’s 88!) is visiting from Brisbane. She was unwell at the start of the year and couldn’t be in Cairns for the launch of Border Watch. I missed having her there as she and Dad were so integral in developing my love of books and writing. Today we had coffee at Glaskins Continue reading

RWA Coogee 2010
So, here we are sitting at the airport (one of my favourite places) waiting to go home after four days overload of all things Romance Writing. My husband always makes the journey south with me. He loves being one of the few men in the room (not that he admits to that…) and he’s sat next to Continue reading
RWA Conference Bound!
My bags are packed, Beyond the Borders first round of edits is complete (I think…), and I’m off to bed for an early start tomorrow. Can’t wait to catch up with everyone in person at the RWA conference in Sydney. It’s always a wonderful motivating weekend where we celebrate Romance, writing and our collective love Continue reading
Anzac Biscuits
I’ve had a few emails asking about my recipe for Anzac Biscuits. In Border Watch, they are Lauren’s favourite treat and she coerces Morgan into cooking them as often as she can. Yesterday we had a visit from a friend whose son is currently doing his second tour of duty in Afghanistan. Harry mentioned that Continue reading
Feel like a swim?
Ok, ok, so I’ve always been obsessed with water and swimming. I think it has something to do with being tossed in a swimming pool when I was six months old 🙂 A friend sent me these photos of the latest resort to open in Singapore. Gives new meaning to a ‘wet edge’ pool! Now Continue reading
