I agree with you Barbara. In truth, there is actually now a waiting list for ‘pillow time’. So many great authors, so little time. So many fab Aussies as well. I met Kelly Hunter and Anne Oliver at the RWA conference as they are as inspiring as the books they write.

Cheer

Congrats, Felicity.

Looking forward to reading your book when it is published.

I have to say, MH has some great authors. Each one has their own style that shines through. It is hard for me to choose which one to read next!

E-book…I wonder. I actually love nothing more than having a book read to me so I am a big fan of the audio book and was excited to see such a big range of them available through Harlequin. I can walk the dog and listen to my favourite authors at the same time. Talk about multi-skilling.

Thanks everyone and I am very excited to have come runner-up and Lorraine, do keep plugging away at it. One of the best pieces of advice I have ever had was from a multi-published author. They said to make sure I enjoy the time before I am published because it is when you have the most freedom and you can write with gay abandon. I try and remember this piece of advice every time I sit down at the computer.

Lynne, I was totally inspired by your success. Well done and I look forward to reading your winning entry Lucy.

BTW, Heidi is now on a rotational basis with Natalie Anderson (Mistress Under Contract) and Trish Wylie (Claimed by the Billionaire Bad Boy).

Cheers Felicity

Ahh, Felicity you sweetheart, so glad Mel and Jack and their Mile-High antics were of help in your mission to sleep your way to the top! And you couldn’t do better than Melanie Milburne as a mentor.

Looking forward to reading your chapter – and getting some inspiration off you in return.

All the best

Heidi

Congratulations, Felicity! And ROFL on sleeping your way to the top.

You are absolutely right that the moral of the story is to KEEP WRITING. It’s the only way to get there. Enjoy this time, and I look forward to reading your chapter when it appears!
