Kiss news and Chris Hemsworth in Leather Trousers...

So, I'm sure you've all heard by now the very exciting news that the Riva imprint will be launching in the US as Kiss in early 2013... That said, you'll need to look out for One Night So Pregnant, my next (and last) Presents Extra book in December in the US. Unfortunately in the UK it's got caught in the Riva relaunch so it'll be going out Direct to Consumer only in November, and hopefully get a full print and digital release when Riva relaunches in 2013... Will keep you posted on that.

One Night, So Pregnant is Tess and Nate's story - you remember Tess, best mate of The Good, the Bad and the Wild's heroine Eva Redmond, yeah, that's right, that Tess the tall, slim party planner with the big mouth... Quite a few peeps asked for her story and I couldn't resist. Anyway, I'll be posting more news about the book with excerpts, etc as soon as I have a cover. (That's Nate on the left! Phwoar!)

Now the book I'm currently working on is Zane and Iona's story. Zane is a drop-dead gorgeous Mexican-American private detective who runs his own agency in Carmel California and is the secret half-brother of Nate... You'll meet him in One Night and believe me, as soon as you do you'll wanna read his story. Well, I certainly had to write it. Anyhow I'm still plugging away at it. Fingers crossed it will be out in the new Kiss line next year and hopefully the brand spanking new Riva line too (if it gets accepted!)...  That's Zane and Iona doing something a little bit naughty on the right!

For more details about both books, check out my Coming Soon page.

But equally exciting is the very cool continuity I've just started brainstorming with fellow Riva Divas Amy Andrews, Aimee Carson and Kimberly Lang. So far we've been having a hoot pinging emails between the US, Oz and London and while the results of our labours are all hush-hush for now I can tell you that what we've worked out so far is TOTALLY AWESOME. This is gonna be a continuity to die for. Can't wait to get to RWA conference next week in Los Angeles and start brainstorming face to face with Miss Carson and Miss Lang... I've never done a continuity before so it's virgin territory for me (and there aren't many things I can say that about these days!) and I'm loving it...



In other news, I'm over at the Pink Heart Society today waxing lyrical about Snow White and the Huntsman or rather the  Chris Hemsworth and the Leather Trousers as it is now affectionately known by moi! So come and join me and have your say.
