The Lady from M&B She Say Yes

Just heard back from my editor at M&B about my new chapter outline for my revision-hit book three and she liked it. Doing a happy dance here. Now all I've got to do is write the sucker. I promised her a game of strip poker (well, my hero is an ex-gambler, it's a no-brainer right?) which I'm already panicking about trying to write.


Now to my most important duty for this weekend. I'm posting the next item on the Pink Heart Society Treasure Hunt. As I'm a huge movie buff and sometime film reviewer I've decided to stick up the yummy Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's (beautifully packaged in Pink and in an Anniversary Edition just for the PHS blogspot, of course).


IMHO, if you haven't seen this movie, you can't call yourself a true romance junkie, so go rent it now! And just to make us all feel like crap, apparently Audrey had given birth to her son Sean just three months before filming began. But flat belly envy aside, it's an ultra-chic Hollywood classic made when men were men and women were all dressed by Givenchy.

Elvis Has Left the Manuscript...

Well, after a six week wait I finally heard from my editor at Modern Extra and it's been a major shock to my system.

Basically she wants to take my marriage-of-convenience out of my marriage-of-convenience story. I blame that damn Elvis Impersonator who insisted on having a scene. Well, now there's no wedding, at least he's got the boot too! Motto of this story, never let an Elvis impersonator enter your manuscript.

Still she liked the Hero and Heroine — a gorgeous ex-gambler turned Vegas hotel tycoon and an impulsive English girl who gets stranded in Vegas with no clothes, no money and a serious sense-of-humour failure. Everything else can be changed I guess, if need be -- as long as I can have chocolate and margaritas on tap. Actually, come to think of it, I think it was the margaritas that got me into this fix in the first place.

Watch this space as I shall be posting the next item on the Pink Heart Society First Anniversary Treasure Hunt later today.

Happy B'Day Pink Heart Society

Back to blogging again after one glorious week in the South of France - where I actually saw sun for the first time this summer.

This month the Pink Heart Society are celebrating their first birthday and to kick off they have an inaugural Hugh Jackman Tour. Lovely Jubbly! Here's my contribution which I think makes him look very moody - definitely my kind of guy.
