It's "D"-month!!

That's Debut-month!

SINGLE FATHER: WIFE AND MOTHER WANTED is on the book shelves in the UK!

Lovely Kate Hardy took this photograph for me. How exciting to be tucked in between Lucy Clark and Joanna Neil.

I've been "launched" with a blog party hosted for me at Love is the Best Medicine by friend and fellow medical author, Fiona Lowe. I had the best time and "talked" myself hoarse! And I let the excitement go to my head by giving away two books instead of one! Those travel stories that people wrote in made for fascinating reading! Thank you!

And I'm thrilled to bits because gorgeous Annie West has asked me if I'd like to participate in her website contest for July/August. Pop over and answer five questions and you could win signed books from five Australian authors....

• Kandy Shepherd - LOVE IS A FOUR-LEGGED WORD (debut for Berkley)
• Michelle Douglas - BACHELOR DAD ON HER DOORSTEP (Harlequin Sweet)
• Paula Roe - THE MAGNATE'S BABY PROMISE (Harlequin Desire)
• Annie West - THE SAVAKIS MISTRESS (Harlequin Modern/Presents)
• Sharon Archer - SINGLE FATHER: WIFE AND MOTHER WANTED (debut for Harlequin Medical)

I'm rapt to announce that Luke and Terri's story has been accepted and is off to the copy-edit department as I type! This is my third book! Woohoo! :) There's no title yet but it will be released in April 2010 in the UK.

Glenn and I are still on the road in the outback of Australia so the travel diary in still going... and, um, still running a little behind! It's so hard to be good and keep up with the writing bit when there's so much great stuff to see and do!

And a little PS to July news.... my friend, Madge, found Single Father: Wife and Mother Wanted in a shop in Wales and sent me this photograph!
