I Love a Sunburned StoryPosted by Christina Brooke Mar 11 2013, 2:32 am in A Duchess to Remember, Australian fiction, Australian romance, Destiny Romance, Harlequin Escape, Kate Morton, Kelly Hunter, Kimberley Freeman. Dianne Blacklock, Kylie Scott, Liane Moriarty, Momentum Books, Rural Romance Recently, at the Australian Romance Readers’ Convention, a panel of authors who write Australian-set romance mentioned how hard it was to sell their single title romance novels to publishers in the United States. Editors and agents alike praised their writing but wanted them to set their outback novels in Texas before they’d agree to buy them. They think American readers won’t buy romances with Australian settings. At GenreCon in Sydney last year, Smart Bitch Sarah Wendell rejected this well-worn rationale, saying that U.S. readers are smart. They can look beyond their own back yards. If they’re not sure of a THESE HAUNTED HEARTS New from Anna Campbell!Posted by Christina Brooke Mar 10 2013, 12:05 am in Anna Campbell, Ghost Story, Novella, Regency historical romance, These Haunted Hearts Hi Bandita Buddies! Our poor Anna Campbell is having major technical difficulties this week so she has asked me to post this on her behalf. FROM ANNA: Huh? What? All the lights are off!!! And the internet is down. And my phone isn’t working. Paolo, have you been trying to dig your way to China again? Sheesh! Just when I have a new release to tell all the bandita buddies about! It’s just not right! So instead of the usual wild party, we’re going to have the cut-price version of a lair launch. On 10th March, I’m releasing my second One Thing at a Time…Posted by Christina Brooke Feb 11 2013, 1:19 am in Celebration, multi-tasking, organization Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! I celebrated with some Mongolian Lamb and Sweet and Sour Pork takeaway on Saturday night. Let nobody say of me that I’m not a joiner:) Back in the dark ages, when I worked in a law firm, we had an in-house chef. She was amazing. Deathly boring lunchtime Continuing Legal Education seminars were always well-attended because the catering was so good. And if it was your birthday, the chef would make you a cake, anything you wanted, from sacher torte to apple crumble (though of course the crumble was not as good as our Foanna’s!). | ||
