Heading west
I’m more than excited to meet readers in Western Australia on Sunday 29 March. Although I’ve previously met Aussie romance readers in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, this year, for the first time, I’ll be taking part in the Australian Romance Readers Association Romantic Rendezvous and book signing in Perth, at the Pagoda Resort and Spa, 112 Melville Parade, Como.
You can book for ARRA’s March events here. Come and enjoy a day celebrating romance reading in any of Australia’s major capital cities! Details. (NB: Tickets now available at door only.) Please use my book pre-order form to avoid disappointment.
In Perth, I’ll also be part of an author panel with the hugely popular US bestselling author Sarina Bowen, Aussie rural romance and neuro-divergent author Libby Iriks and prolific and popular contemporary romance writer Nicole Flockton, another Aussie who has lived and worked in the US.

We’ll be discussing “big themes in small spaces” which fits in so well with the “forced proximity” trope of my Brighton Court series, set in an apartment building.
On reflection, the theme also suits the “small town” setting of Burradeer Bay in my Escape to the Coast series, and even my House of Jewels series, given that most of the characters in this family saga revolve around a jewelry shop and its branches in France and the US.
You are more than welcome to share with friends and family the link for a free copy of House of Diamonds.
Introducing Tracy Brenton
This month, I’m delighted to share with you a free book by fellow Aussie author Tracy Brenton who writes small town romance where swoony heroes, found family, and a HEA are guaranteed.
You can download Independent Hearts for free here. It’s a small town romance and new adult novel about love at first sight.
More sweet reads
Plenty of romance without too much spice
Low to no heat contemporary romance
Happy reading!

Autumn is on the way in Australia, and while I’m sad to see the beginning of the end of our balmiest days, I’m glad our northern hemisphere friends will soon see warmer weather. Enjoy!
