Fancy a cuppa??

Had a lovely time at the inaugural meeting of the Mills and Boon book club on Tuesday evening. Gorgeous little teashop in London's soho called Yumchaa (clever eh). Had a lovely Raspberry and Vanilla Iced Tea and then got quizzed about my favourite subject... Me!

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!

Your chance to join an M&B Bookclub

Just a quickie to say I'm blogging on the PHS today about the new(ish) Sandra Bullock rom-com The Proposal, mostly about Sandra and how likeable she is (even when she's playing a bitch!) but also a little bit about Ryan Reynolds and his very nice naked bod...

Also, for anyone living in and around London who fancies joining a Mills and Boon bookclub. Check this link out. 

I've been asked to come talk about my November novel Public Affair, Secretly Expecting for the inaugural event on the evening of September 8th at the delightful Yumchaa Teahouse in London's Soho. There's a free copy of the book for participants. And let's face it, coffee shops are so last year... Tea and cakes is much more M&B don't ya think?

Anyway, more about that later.
