Mark your calendars Mills & Boon fans! Some news came down the wire through our friends at the Mills & Boon Twitter stream that Harlequin Presents author Sharon Kendrick will be appearing — and talking heroes — at The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival on Tuesday, Oct. 13!

Here’s a blurb about her session from the festival brochure (note: link is a PDF. It will take a looong time to download):

Literary Heroes

143 Town Hall 4-5pm £7

What makes an unforgettable literary hero? Why is Mr Darcy more devastating than Mr Rochester, Rhett Butler more dashing than Captain Corelli? Novelists Katie Fforde and Stella Duffy join Mills & Boon author Sharon Kendrick and renowned actress Virginia McKenna to contemplate their favourite leading men and consider the key ingredients in creating the ultimate hero on the page.

    It sounds like a very interesting festival.

    I’ll be there, Sharon – I’ve made two huge notes in my diary for that day – ‘Catch Sharon live!’ and ‘NO babysitting’.
    My toddling triplet nephews live in Cheltenham.
    Enough said!

    Considering you spend so much time in my bed, on my pillow; and more often than not, sprawled on the bedroom floor in the early hours of the morning…..I am gutted I am of the country during the festival…..but fear not you will be right along-side; my travelling companion; my essential friend, on the beach, the bed the balcony!
    Thanks for the [always] great read… company
