Have a Happy, Hunky Christmas....

Just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a Happy, Hunky Christmas... Oooh, that sounds like a great excuse for a photo opportunity. So, as a special Christmas pressie I'm sticking some inspiring pictures on my blog, to while away all those hours between Christmas and New Year.

Should add that I had a short story called One Enchanted Christmas Evening published in The Sun a week ago - a very festive romance about a hard-working single mum who gets swept off her feet by her hunky boss one Christmas Evening. 

Unfortunately noone told me when it was going out, so I didn't get the chance to announce it on my blog. 
Have a good one. I certainly intend to!

It's a Wonderful Life

Another quickie to say I'm blogging over on the PHS this Friday about my favourite Christmas movie the Wonderful, Fabulous, Fantastic It's a Wonderful Life. What I like to think of as A Christmas Carol for people who already have a warm heart...

So if you want to know why I love that movie so much pop on over there.  

And in a quick update, have just done the proof edits on my 
fifth book Hot-Shot Tycoon: Indecent Proposal, always the best bit to my mind, when you can just sit back and bask in the fruits of your labour (and correct the odd typo into the bargain). And it's a goodie, even if I say so myself - and even after all the agony over the summer.


Now I've got to concentrate on my next book, which is going to be Connor's brother Cormac's story. Our Cormac's another drop-dead delicious Irish man (wavy black hair, dreamy blue eyes, tight squeezable butt, husky Emerald Isle accent...  you get the picture) who just happens to be a famous Hollywood movie star. Have to admit here to being ever so slightly inspired by Richard Armitage in the new series of Spooks (ooh, cue a tottie picture). And can I also just point out that they shot some scenes from that series in the office where I work on one of the days I wasn't there (Richard, what were you thinking??)

And Mac's heroine?? Shy, tomboyish, but not all that retiring, Juno Delamare, Daisy's best friend (Daisy's my last heroine, for those of you who haven't being paying attention) who manages her shop in Portobello and knows from experience that gorgeous, successful guys are always bad news - and is pretty sure that ultra-gorgeous, super-successful movie stars are even worse news... Boy, is she in for a pleasureable -but not always pleasant - surprise (after all pleasant can be dull right, and Mac certainly isn't going to be dull)! 

I can already see an incident packed road trip to the south of France and a sojourn in a luxury beach house in Malibu in their future. And I'm going to make absolutely sure that neither of them knows what hit them.

Right, time to go off and start riddling them both with cupid's arrows....

Party Time

Well, long time no blog, but I'm not entirely responsible this time as blogger decided I was a spam blog (I know, what!) and withdrew my blogging privileges for a bit. But hey, November went by in such a blur I probably wouldn't have got time to do much anyway.

Still here I am, back and blogging and inviting everyone to the eharlequin Presents Open House blog party today. Lots of wonderful Presents authors blogging there today, including Moi.
