Apologies

I must apologise for not writing, or rather blogging, lately. In fact, my writing has taken a back seat. The reason for this? One word - Christmas. It seems the mere mention of that C word not only zaps me of festive cheer but also of sex (writing that is, not having it!) I blame all those TV adverts.
And then of course today was Adam's first birthday. I can't believe this time last year both myself and Adam were at Death's Door. Thankfully, we both pulled through, although my health is not at its best.
But enough doom and gloom and lack of festive cheer, it's time to get back into the saddle and write some hot hot sex. Body Rocks is coming (no pun intended) along nicely. I am about 3/4 way through, and really pleased that the minimum word count for print is 35,000. Personally I like to write at least 50,000, but unless something strikes me in a moment of inspiration, Body Rocks will be right on that minimum amount.

Animal Instincts

YES! YES! YES! Today I received the acceptance e-mail from Siren for Animal Instincts, the 2nd book in the Anderson series. Whoopie! Happy dance!

I have been on tenderhooks for the last 4 weeks regarding Animal Instincts. The pessimist in me thought this will be a rejection. I'm so glad I've been proved wrong. I don't know whether the follow up e-mail I sent to Siren earlier this evening had anything to do with it, but 3 hours at the most later and I get an early Christmas present.

So Animal Instincts will be published sometime in March 2012. What is Mills & Boon's loss is Siren's gain.

And now back to writing the third in the series. Oh dear! I'm having so many problems with Body Rocks. Hmm, maybe it's time for some Def Leppard!

Secret Eyes

I'm so excited. I am actually holding my book Secret Eyes in my hands. I never would have believed after it was rejected by Mills & Boon back in April that by the next month it would be accepted by Siren, released as an e-book on 25th August and then in print in November. A dream come true.
