By popular request I will be holding an ONLINE launch party for SECRETS IN TIME. Next Tuesday 2 April from 7.00pm at my Facebook author page .

As it is a time travel story, I am certain there will be plenty of time travelling visitors and George Clooney has once again offered to hand the champagne around.

No need to dress up...come as you are. All you have to do is like my FB page and come and join the fun.

I am thrilled to discover this morning that GATHER THE BONES is a nominee in the Historical Category of the Australian Romance Reader Awards 2012. In such illustrious company as Anne Gracie, Anna Campbell and Christina Brooks :-) The winner will be announced at the Annual Dinner in March...and I'll be there :-)

In other news, there is a chance to win a copy of the award nominated GATHER THE BONES over at Ex Libris where I have an interview (with some really interesting questions).
 
 

I answered a question on Twitter about memories of Diwali (the Indian festival of light) and next thing, I was asked to do an article for the Huff post.

Memories of Deepavali
