February/March 2026
Well, here we are at February, 2026, and all dressed up and ready for Valentine’s Day (well, actually right now I’m in a sleeveless singlet top and shorts because it’s a stinker of a hot day here in Brisbane). Happy Valentine’s Day to all my lovely readers!

Winners will be announced at a gala dinner in Perth on 29th March. I’ll let you know how I go!
Not a lot of other news this month, although I have a fabulous review of my 2025 release Sir Hugo Seeks a Wife to share. Bestselling Aussie author Cathryn Hein gave Hugo a rave review on her Favourite Reads Blog:
“Sir Hugo Seeks a Wife is another gorgeous historical romance from Anna Campbell, and the first in her new Mayfair series.
“I loved the meet-cute in this one. That was so much fun. Strapping Yorkshireman hero Sir Hugo is a total honey, and clever heroine Aphrodite suits him perfectly. Or would if it weren’t for the difficult past she fears could ruin Hugo’s future, should she become his wife. There’s lots of banter and sexy goings-on, and the start of each chapter has a lovely little poem, reflecting our heroine Aphrodite’s feelings.
“Historical hot times, deliciously done. Looking forward to the next!”
Those who have been waiting for a paperback edition of Sir Hugo, your time has (almost!) come. I hope to have links before the end of February. Once I’ve got the info, I’ll update this page so watch this space!
