No just kidding. Actually it was the wonderful world of being a Mills and Boon author. Met some very nice people, including an aspiring author from Australia and an eighty year old lady who had previously worked in sexual health medicine (I think). Even got interviewed by a reporter from The Telegraph and had my picture taken (good thing I put my posh frock on).
Questions included 'Do you base any of your scenes on real life?' Answer: Actually no, but as soon as a movie star snogs me in Heathrow airport I will have!!
And that old favourite: 'Do you find it hard to write sex scenes?' Answer: No, not at all, because I think of them as action scenes (which got the very dishy guy in the front row raising his eyebrows... bless) and I'm a tart!!
Will be doing a blog on my book club debut on I Heart Presents which I haven't quite written yet, but will be up there on 14th September hopefully. In between finishing this darn book. Not long now, scenes are flowing off the keyboard, but I've still got only ten days to do about four chapters. Arghhh.
BTW, cheers Biddy Coady for rescuing me when I nattered myself into a corner and then couldn't get out again!

Ahhh if only I lived further south :-(
Sounds a great evening and what a cool name for a tea shop.
It sounds like it was so much fun! I would have loved to be a fly on the wall!
Hi Joanne and Lacey
Yes, it was a lot of fun... Well, I enjoyed myself and the tea was really good too. Haven't had proper tea in years,
I echo Joanne. If only I lived further south... Sounded like you all had a great evening. Take care. Caroline x
It was a fab evening! You did a sterling job!
Cheers Caroline, and special cheers to Biddy, you did a great job too madam!
It was a pleasure to meet you! Our conversation has given me the impetus to persevere. As the first M&B author I've made, you made me realize just why I wanted to go down this route in the first place :)
Kimberly it was great to meet you too. Best of luck with your manuscript.
