Cosmo News and Movie News

YAY! Have just heard from my editor that the Cosmo team loved my partial and I am now under contract to write my 2nd Cosmo Red Hot Read. After all the hot fun I had writing 10 Ways to Handle the Best Man, I should have a blast writing 10 Rules to Sex-Up a Blind Date...

Here's my Pinterest board for the book, to give you some heft hints about what's in store.... But basically it involves a sex-starved London journalist with a secret Twitter habit, a super-studly American alpha wolf in geek's clothing and one super-hot blind date night in a luxury London hotel, and the mayhem that follows the morning after.

Apparently it's penciled in for release in October, so I need to get writing - and do much research on Channing Tatum and Chris Hemsworth who are vying to become my hero inspiration! (Damn this is a tough job.)

And if you want to catch a really fabulous (and totally off the wall) film experience, check out what I had to say about The Grand Budapest Hotel which is my Must Watch Friday pick for this month over at the Pink Heart Society today.

Cosmo-Coolio and a Live Twitter Q&A

Just in case you don't already know, my first (and hopefully not last) Cosmo Red Hot Read, 10 Ways to Handle the Best Man, is OUT NOW on ebook. So go grab yourself a copy if you're in the mood for a short, funny, super-sexy read with added naughty bits.

Here are a few of the things readers are saying about it on Goodreads/Amazon:

"Really cheeky and Connor was such an alpha."
4-star Goodreads, Cassandra

"If the other Cosmo Red Hot Reads are as good as this one,
I'm definitely going to have to check them out."
4-star Goodreads, Danielle

"I just adored this one. A total must read."
5-star Goodreads, Erica  

"This novella is sexy, fun, and worth reading if you enjoy romance stories. Consider yourselves forewarned: These Cosmo Red-Hot Reads are addictive!"
4-star Amazon, Nicole 

In other news  I'm taking part in the #TemptedtoWrite Twitter comp being run from 20-24 January by Mills and Boon for aspiring authors wanting to write for Modern Tempted (aka Harlequin KISS in the US). I'm one of the judges - along with the fabulous Charlotte Phillips and Joss Wood — and I'll also be doing a live Q&A on Twitter on Friday 24th January at 3pm. So be there, or be a donut! For more details check out M&B's Facebook page.

TWO New eBooks out in January! Get your sneak peeks here.

Wow!! I've been working hard recently. Because I have two new ebook releases out in January 2014.

First up is my very first Cosmo Red-Hot Read (think KISS but with added sexy bits!). 10 Ways to Handle the Best Man is the story of uber-efficient maid of honour Sabrina Millard and Connor McCoy, the bad man she's going to have a very hot time trying to turn into a best man.... The good news is, Sabrina has a ten-point plan... The bad news is, Connor isn't the type of guy who follows instructions - at all.

Check out a sneak peek here from the first chapter.

And next up, I have my first POP book for Harlequin E - Movie Bliss: A Hopeless Romantic Seeks Movies to Love. Like it says on the tin, this is an ebook of romance-landia friendly film picks from my cache of favourites. So if you want to know how to obtain movie bliss without the use of control substances, this ebook's for you!

The Great Gatsby... And other great things!

I'm over at the Pink Heart Society waffling on about how great I thought Baz Luhrmann's manic new version of The Great Gatsby was and getting in the mood to write my movie review book for Harlequin POP... Don't know when this one will be out (as I haven't written it yet) but I'm having a lot of fun compiling some of my favourite romance-centric movies for public consumption...

And if you haven't visited my Facebook page recently, I've just updated my banner (because I'm a bit of a procrastinator like that!)... And I have to admit it's a little bit naughty... But very, very nice.

In other news, my Cosmo RED HOT Read - 10 Ways to Handle the Best Man - has been scheduled for a January 2014 release... OMG!! So excited about this - not least because that's the first time I've ever managed to keep my own title. I'm not sure if that date is confirmed, but will let you know.

And my new book page for Maid of Dishonor will be up soon on my website... Honest! I just need time to do it in between messing with pictures of nekkid men for my FB banner.

And last but not least... Today is the release day for Bedded for His Pleasure, my new anthology with Kate hardy and Trish Wylie, featuring a reprint of my first EVAH published book: Bedded by a Bad Boy (I take no responsibility for that title... see above for proof.)
