Upcoming Events

12 Points on the 12th

Starting on January 12 and running right through the year, on the 12th of every month I will be posting a series of articles about the craft of writing over on Tote Bags 'n' Blogs. They will run throughout the year and appear on the 12th of each month—so, not surprisingly, the series is called 12 Points on The 12th. I’ve already posted one of the articles on the 12th of January and there are more to come. If you’re interested in writing romance and learning more about it, then I hope you’ll come by and join in the discussions and chat.

Saturday May 17th 2008

I will be at the Lincoln Book Festival.

Details are still being finalised but the plan is that I will be running a Workshop on Writing Romance to launch the 2nd edition of the 12 Point Guide in the daytime. And in the evening there will be a special romantic reception to mark the Mills & Boon Centenary Year.

I will also be joined by several other well known romance writers who will form a panel for readings and discussion of romance books past and present.

We will also be running a major prize raffle with tickets sold in aid of Breast Cancer Reasearch—and with the biggest book prize I've ever seen (and it's still growing!).

Call back here for details—I'll update this page as soon as I know.

July 4th - 6th 2008

I shall be at the Romantic Novelists' Association Conference at the University of Chichester.

I know that I'm supposed to be running a discussion group on something—but right now I'm not sure on what! Again more details later when I know.

July 30–August 2, 2008

I'll be attending the Romance Writers of America 28th Annual National Conference San Francisco, California.

I'm not doing any workshops but I will. be at many of the Harlequin Events and if you live in San Francisco and are attending the Literacy Signing on July 30th 2008 from 5.30 - 7.30 please come and say hello—and maybe buy a book. It's for a great cause!
