I should be writing - I completed 24,000 words of Just Say Yes and I’m layering and editing the first section at the moment. So I shouldn’t be blogging. Also, I have been warned by Fiona Harper’s tales of RSI. I’m going to try and minimise my keyboard use to WORK.

I’ve posted the picture to let you know that I’m taking part in the Pure Passion Day at Highham Hall, Bassenthwaite, Cumbria. I have borrowed some of the copy…

Pure Passion aims to bring to people’s attention some of the best contemporary Romantic Fiction and the fact that it is available to borrow from the library.
To tie in with the Pure Passion promotion, this year’s The Write Read readers and writers day will have the romantic fiction genre as its focus. The event will be held on 14th July at Higham Hall (between Cockermouth and Keswick) and as in previous years is organised by Cumbria library service working with Writing Cumbria, a Cumbria-wide writing development service.

The day will be hosted by Leeds-based poet James Nash, and will feature: Roger Sanderson (who writes romances as Gill Sanderson); Linda Gillard (Emotional Geology; A lifetime Burning); Phillipa Ashley (Decent Exposure; Wish you Were Here) and Anna Scamans who writes as Anna Louise Lucia, a new author who is to have her first book published in the USA next year and who lives in Cumbria.

Programmes and booking forms will be available from libraries shortly, and the day will cost £25 which includes all refreshments and a fabulous Higham Hall lunch.

I would love to see you there - for further information, click HERE.

I’m pleased to announce that Cheryl from the United States has won the contest - and of course, the anwer was Corsica. Cheryl’s name was drawn out of the hat by Rosy Thornton’s family.

Thank you to everyone who entered and has sent us good wishes. I’ll be doing another competition in August just before the paperback of WYWH comes out.

Wish You Were Here is out today - tee hee - and I’ll be announcing the contest winner later.

Am I happy? Yay! Am I a teeny bit nervous? You bet!

PS Congrats to Judy Jarvie whose baby Esme has arrived safely at last.
