A Will To Love

The second Rosina Lesley book is out and people I know are downloading it. This is Scary. It was actually quite exciting to attend the Romantic Novelists' Association conference last weekend as a bono fido romance author, and the buzz - and a lot of the sessions - were about epublishing, so I fitted right in. Met a lot of old friends and some new ones and should have come home fired up, but instead had chronic conference lag. However, I'm back to schedule now, and with a bit of luck and the traditional following wind I should get Murder at The Manor in on time.

I was extremely flattered over the weekend to be asked to become a reader for a literary advisory service. Now, there are a proliferating number of these, but this particular one is one of the originals and extremely well respected. I feel as if I've arrived! I've also been asked to write a piece for a magazine and a guest blog on a US Mystery blog. (No, the blog's not a mystery - it's about mysteries. Get a grip.)

In a future blog I will tell you all about another nice thing that happened - not earth shattering, but quite lovely.

Congratulations on all the various irons in the fire Lesley. It was lovely to meet you properly at the RNA do and I forgot to tell you how nice your hair looked! Just seemed to spend the whole time running hither and thither. I too got conference lag but started writing again this weekend. Take care. x

Thanks, Cara - you have various irons yourself! And thanks for the hair comment - it seemed to go down well - someone even said they were going home straight to their hairdressers to have theirs done the same. Cor!
