Dear Readers
It’s
the height of summer here in the northern hemisphere and with luck,
after a hard day slaving over the keyboard, I should be chilling out in
the garden, glass of Pimms in my hand as I soak up the scent of flowers
and new mown grass, anticipating a fine crop of blackberries from the
bank of brambles, here in full flower, that skirts my “conservation”
area at the bottom of the garden.
We can
dream.
But
relaxation is an important part of life. This is the time to forget
the housework (it’s not going anywhere), recharge the batteries, refill
the well. Just looking at the scenery around my home in rural Wales on
a sunny day is food for the soul, but I hope to be exploring further
afield in the next week or two. The minute I’ve finished the
Escape Around the World book I’m
writing at the moment, I’m going to be taking off for mainland Europe to
visit family and friends.
By the
time I return there will be books galore to tell you about. The
LOVES ME, LOVES ME NOT anthology
(including a brand new Liz Fielding short story) put together by the
Romantic Novelists Association to celebrate their 50th
Anniversary next year, which will be published by Mira. The
CHANGING PLACES duet that will be
available this autumn. A new large print edition of a golden oldie.
And something in a Christmas anthology from Mills & Boon that I’ve
noticed on Amazon – I’m not sure what’s in that yet, but I’m in stellar
company..
And if
you haven’t
downloaded your free copy of THE
BRIDE'S BABY, what better time to load it – and the rest of the
books Harlequin are giving away -- into whatever device you use and find
a quiet spot to read.
See you
in August.
Much
love
