Yup, that’ where I’m off to this week. Can’t wait! It’s such fun to catch up with writer friends and talk shop. I’m also a guest on the Diamonds In The Dust Panel on Saturday with Rachel Treasure, Fiona Palmer, Barbara Hannay and Penguin editor Belinda Byrne, discussing all you need to know about rural romance.

For non-writers there is the wonderful  Australian Romance Readers Association Booksigning Event. So if you’re near the Gold Coast this coming Friday, why not pop on by? Sixty-six romance authors will be on standby to have a chat to and sign your books.

4-30–6.00 pm on Friday 17 August at the QT Hotel on the Gold Coast. For more information on the ARRA Booksigning Event please visit the ARRA Blog.

Interested in writing? Why not take a closer look at the Romance Writers of Australia. THE BEST writing organisation in the country. It is. I promise. Plus we have seriously fun conferences.

And finally, a heads-up that there will be no Friday Feast this week due to me swanning around the Gold Coast. But keep an eye out for Friday 24th when I’ll be sharing something special to celebrate the first birthday of my debut rural romance, Promises. There may be a special giveaway…
