Another brief update.

A Sicilian Engagement was submitted to my Entangled editor last weekend and I've spent the following days having a much needed clear up before revisions/edits come through. And there are at least three more books to write now as another contract is on its way. All good!

We didn't manage a family holiday last year and to be honest the adults in the house are starting to wilt, so this year we're going to try and have two. Which means my teenage daughter will get three holidays as she's going to Paris with her school  - what a life they lead these days, eh? Good job my tempestuous Greek hero Andreas is still working hard to pay for it all! So I have bags to pack and fake tan to apply and .... twenty million other things to do, but in a very nice way.

Anyway, I have done a smidge of writing work this week including a blog post at The Hot Pink Typewriter , so it would be lovely to see you over there.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

A brief wave and a lovely book ...

I'm super-bogged down with deadlines and school hols and all that jazz, but I just wanted to pop by and do a quick blog update and share a little something that's put a smile on my face.

Some time ago a fellow Entangled author and friend, Victoria James, let me read her latest manuscript A Risk Worth Taking and I was smitten with it. I'm not just saying that because I write for the line, it's a really lovely romance and I have to admit that Victoria managed to wring a tear out of me at the end. So, imagine how delighted I was when she asked me if I'd give her a cover quote when it came to be published. My quote on her book, how fab would that be?! Well, it happened and I'm thrilled to bits:

Holly Carrington is a rising star at a successful interior design firm. Everything she has worked for is coming to fruition. But when tragedy strikes and Holly returns to her hometown to secure her orphaned niece’s future, she finds herself in over her head—in more ways than one.

Quinn Manning can’t believe Holly asked him to help her renovate the house she grew up in. The last time they saw each other Holly confessed she loved him. He walked away, even though all he wanted to do was kiss her. The chemistry between them now can’t be denied. But can Quinn convince Holly to give up her big-city dreams and risk her heart, or are they destined for heartbreak…again?

 So consider A Risk Worth Taking as being totally and wholeheartedly endorsed! And of course it's available to download in all the usual places including amazon.com , Barnes and Noble and iTunes

I'm still working hard on A Sicilian Engagement so that, hopefully, you'll be able to read it in the autumn and guess what? It's still freezing in the UK!

I'll be back soon but a hot Italian beckons ...

Busy!

Yep, busy seems to be my middle name right now as I'm trying to cram in as much writing before the Easter school holidays. And then I hope I can pretend I'm a cat ...

A cat that eats chocolate rabbits, naturally.

(Whoa, that has to be the shortest blog post I've ever done. Ms Super Slack!)

Absent with leave - I'm well-behaved like that.

Today I'm over at The Hot Pink Typewriter talking about my love/hate relationship with technology. I'd love to see you over there!

March!

At least that's what the calendar says, 1st March, and it still feels like we're in the grip of the longest winter ever here in the UK. So here's a jolly picture I took a few moments ago (with the heating on full blast) to remind us all that spring will come eventually ...

Hobbit and I just hope it comes soon, like this weekend!

It's been a very busy time in Lyndhurst land, so here's a quick update on what I'm up to on the writing front. I'm currently writing A Sicilian Engagement, book three in the Entangled Indulgence Mediterranean Billionaires series, which is due to be published in the autumn. After that I'm really excited about a small Indulgence continuity that I'm writing with Inara Scott and Victoria James which will be out early in 2014. There are also another couple of projects on the go that I can't say too much about at the moment, but be assured they will won't be short on alpha males and luxurious, exotic locations. And then there's the one involving a cross channel ferry and a very old car ...

I'd better get on with it!

Have a great weekend everyone.

Back to normal ... ish

Today I'm over at the Entangled Indulgence authors blog recovering from Valentine's Day. And then I need to do some grocery shopping. And some serious writing ...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Lurve is all around us ...

...because it's Valentine's Day of course!

I'm over at The Hot Pink Typewriter today revealing my Valentine Celebrity Crush of the day and how he'd get me to blush. I do actually do that from time to time, you know, however shameless and brazen I may appear. :0)

My co-contributors are spilling the beans too - pop over and take a peek!
