Christmas brings its own treasure to a couple of lucky readers from this blog...



Thank you to all of you who emailed me expressing your wish to be entered to win a book in my Christmas contest. Unfortunately, there could only be two winners. Congratulations to Maryia Kovaleva from Belarus and to Daria Postolachi from Moldova.

Book, Gift, Cord, Gold Cord, Golden

 Maryia has won a copy of Celeste Bradley's THE DUKE NEXT DOOR.


Daria has won a copy of Ella Quinn's BELIEVE IN ME.

To those of you who haven't scored a book, I highly recommend these stories to you. If you can't find them in a bookshop close to you, you can always order them on line. Santa's probably already bought one of each for Mrs Claus...although he'll probably read them too after his sleigh run!!

Maryia and Daria, your copies shall be in the mail tomorrow. Thanks again for responding to my emails so quickly with your addresses.

And...just another reminder that my Christmas story THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS is available as an ebook. I hope you'll read that story and enjoy it!

'This year, you'll have to help create your own Christmas magic.'

Billionaire Jack Mancini has pulled himself up out of the worst circumstances to become a self-made CEO. The one thing Jack can't face is Christmas. Carols, Christmas trees and cheer only remind him of his dark past. But when he's asked to stay in London for Christmas by the only person who understands his pain, Jack's fierce loyalty demands that he agree.

Ever since tragedy struck, Grace Robertson has done everything she can to give her younger brother the life he deserves, ignoring her own passions to focus on her housecleaning business. The two things Grace lets herself indulge in? Fantasising about her handsome employer Jack and playing his beautiful grand piano when she's finished cleaning his house. When Grace is caught playing the piano, the last thing she expects is for the man of her fantasies to offer her everything she's ever wanted.
But even as the line between fiction and reality blurs, it seems that the darkness that haunts Jack is inescapable. If only Jack would let in just a little bit of Christmas magic...


Christmas Motif, Merry Christmas

I'll take this opportunity to wish all my readers a wonderful Christmas season. May you be happy, surrounded by love and laughter and stay safe.
I hope you'll all visit the blog again next year.

Best wishes,

Guest Author: Tina DeSalvo

Today’s guest author’s career in journalism spanned twenty-five years, and she had a huge variety of roles—covering floods and hurricanes with national broadcasts on major national broadcasters CNN, NBC and CBS, as well as being a play by play sports announcer for basketball and football! I met Tina DeSalvo briefly at my first RT Convention in New Orleans back in 2014, but it was at a post-convention soiree in Las Vegas, hosted by Kathryn Falk, that we had a chance to chat and connect one-to-one. Tina is one of the warmest and most generous ladies you’ll ever meet. Along with Cherry Adair and Stella Barcelona, Tina set out to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. All the profits of her first story, ‘Elli’ go to the Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, and Tina even organised a breast screening bus at the RT Reno convention. It’s lovely to have Tina as my guest on the blog today. Welcome Tina! First, would you tell us about your next release “The Fathers of Victori

Guest Author: Jane Porter

My guest today is an American romance author who’ll be in Australia again very soon and is to be a guest at an Australian Romance Readers Association Romantic Rendezvous on the 16 th   of August.  Now, although she writes fiction, she shares her name with a major fictional character from Edgar Rice Burroughs series of Tarzan novels! I’m speaking, of course, about Jane Porter! Having sold her first novel to Harlequin in 2000,  Jane writes both romance novels and women’s fiction and is a NY Times and USA Today Bestselling author with over 12 million books in print, in twenty languages and in twenty-five countries! Her novel "Flirting with Forty" was made into the Lifetime movie of the same name and starred Heather Locklear, and she founded Tule Publishing in 2013.  In 2014 her novel, “Take Me, Cowboy” won a RITA Award, and this year she’s a RITA Finalist again with her story “Miracle on Chance Avenue”.  (Congratulations Jane!) She’s no stranger to Australia a

My guest today is a New York Times best selling author from Pennsylvania who has a Ph.D in Art History and who has taught at college level. She has a very frank article on her website titled “My First Sale” where she details her journey to securing her first contract. Like many published authors, she faced numerous rejections from various publishing houses saying that “I wrote a million words before I sold”. However, her resilience and tenacity of spirit has led to her having over 32 historical romances published in sixteen languages and with over six million books in print. I can only imagine that all those books and all those satisfying hours she’s given her readers over the years since her first book was published in June of 2000 must give her a tremendous sense of fulfilment.   But, her achievement doesn’t end there. She has also been deservedly recognised by being a seven time RITA finalist, and she has won the coveted RITA Award twice!         It is my pleasure to welcome M
