March 2025
Goodness me, I had a busy February! I ran a couple of workshops. I went to the fabulous Queensland Writers Centre’s GenreCon. I offered my lovely friend Mary-Lou Stephens a bed while she completed a number of promotional activities for the launch of her new book The Jam Maker in the Brisbane area. I took up a mentorship role with a writer through the Queensland Writers Centre. I kept the wheels of industry rolling at my desk through all that. I’m looking forward to March, which should be a bit quieter and will hopefully give me a chance to get my teeth into the new story.
Here’s a photo of me after the workshop on Great Beginnings that I presented for Women Writers Queensland on the 11th March. I really appreciated getting the chance to talk writing to so many new people!
I had some wonderful news, too, during February. The Australian Romance Readers Association announced finalists in its 2025 awards and I’m delighted to announce that I’m up for the following awards:
The Last Duke She’d Marry Favourite Historical Romance of 2024
The Duke Says I Do Favourite Historical Romance of 2024
Scoundrels of Mayfair Favourite Continuing Series of 2024
