Coffee Time Romance

I'm guest author over at Coffee Time Romance during December and I'm Diggin for your answers to my questions!  Each Sunday during December I'll be asking a new question, so why not pop over? Today I'm kicking off by wondering ... well, you'll have to come on over to find out ...

Release Date

All the Way, my latest contemporary romance, is now available for pre-order at The Wild Rose Press. Official release date is 7 December 2012

Nothing would have induced Grace Redman back into the arms of her ex-lover two years after ending their turbulent affair, but now she needs help--the kind only he can offer.

Nikolai Kernov won't forgive the woman who betrayed him. If she wants his help, it comes at a price--one he'll make sure she pays.

But as they battle the scars of the past, neither is prepared for the attraction that pushes them together even as it threatens to tear them apart.

Marketing Summer Camp July 14-15, 2012

Marketing Summer Camp is a free, two-day online conference designed to help authors learn the basics of marketing and promotion, and to fine tune skills already obtained. It will include guest speakers, pitch opportunities, prizes, top giveaways, and plenty of learning and fun. It will be held on the Yahoo group, Marketing for Romance Writers. Membership is open to published as well as non-published authors, editors, publishers, literary agents, author promotion services, cover artists, and virtual assistants. MFRW members are automatically signed up for Camp. If you want to take a particular course, read the messages posted with that title of the class. If you want to skip that class, don't read them. It's going to be that easy. Handouts and goody bags will be up for grabs once the conference begins. Giveaways include advertising packages, blog tours, and more. Discounts on services will also be available for all attendees.

PITCH APPOINTMENTS

There will be pitch appointments with multiple publishers for camp attendees. These will take place after camp so you don't have to miss classes.

A Summer Audience and a Happy Surprise

Had a very enjoyable day at the Love a Happy Ending Summer Audience in Tetbury last Saturday. Great to meet so many writers and readers and enjoy many interesting talks and workshops. As if that weren't enough, I was thrilled to learn that the extract I submitted for the page-turning extract contest actually won! Seeing as the extract from Bull at the Gate was up against extracts from so many other very talented authors, it was doubly thrilling.
