An introduction
I’m delighted to introduce you to author colleague Leanne Lovegrove, a fellow member of the Romance Writers of Australia. Here we are sharing a table at a book signing in Glenelg South Australia in 2024 at the RWA Trope Actually conference.
Leanne is giving away a free e-copy of her book Buried in Between, a small town, rural, enemies to lovers romance. You can use this link to download your free copy.
I love meeting readers!
What a joy to meet readers at Chatswood recently. Thank you, Tianna, for stopping by, despite the roaring heat!
Join the Facebook Cozy & Sweet Blissful Reading Group ahead of Tuesday 27 January when I’ll be Author for the Day, discussing Summer Beach, the first in my Escape to the Coast series, in line with the group’s theme of new beginnings!
I’ll be Global Girls Online Book Club “Author for the Day” on Facebook on Tuesday 10 February 2026 Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).
Please note that Sydney is 15 hours ahead of Chicago and 10 hours ahead of London.
