Hi everyone! <br />
<br />
I know it's been an age since I updated the blog -sorry and I hope that you'll all forgive me. Life certainly got in the way of things. :( <br />
<br />
However even though last year wasn't particularly stellar but I did manage to write one book and it's just been released. <br />
<br />
White Gum Creek is about a man who believes that he's lost everything and deserves nothing For years he's kept to himself in a self imposed captivity and that's the way he likes it. But all things change and maybe... just maybe, Nick has been given a second chance at life. <br />
<br />
Nick Langtree first made an appearance in my last novel, Country Roads. At the time, I thought he was a good foil for one of my main characters. But the more I thought about him, the more I decided that Nick deserved his own story. So I hope that you'll come along with me to White Gum Creek and help rescue my favourite recluse. <br />
<br />
<br />
Here's the blurb - <br />
<br />
<br />

Langtree has been hiding out on his farm, Winters Hill ever since the death of
his wife. He keeps to himself and that’s the way he likes it. The town’s folk
over the years have tried to help him but he’s pushed them all away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Nick

<br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Natasha
(Tash) Duroz, the owner of the Gumnut Bakery tries to engage him into
conversation each time he comes into town. There’s something about him that
draws Tash in but what she has to discover is what she feels pity or something
more?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">

connect with the outside world it escalates. Is someone out to hurt him or have

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">When driving out in the country, ever wondered where those old dirt roads might lead?

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8_N1JWYbZg8yi3MjHtd5-7Q958UrkyeLvCGBXiqiDmw49QDDfWDxUaWECgAyuU03pz_muAg6ltLnJWACL9S6_hIMarLvktDsD38upphRsGDmIESXx9UJPrF7aPKP4efcRYmTMH7MJ2qrc/s1600/Fotolia_fire+paidfor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8_N1JWYbZg8yi3MjHtd5-7Q958UrkyeLvCGBXiqiDmw49QDDfWDxUaWECgAyuU03pz_muAg6ltLnJWACL9S6_hIMarLvktDsD38upphRsGDmIESXx9UJPrF7aPKP4efcRYmTMH7MJ2qrc/s320/Fotolia_fire+paidfor.jpg" width="213" /></a><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">So
like millions of people across the globe, I love Game of Thrones. I sit,
waiting (not so patiently) every Monday morning for the live stream through
Foxtel. Do not ring me, talk to me or knock at my door because I just won’t
answer. The entire sixth season has been great from <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">No One</i> to the horrific brutality of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Battle of the Bastards</i> and finally the triumph over House bloody
Bolton. And I have to say that the season 6 finale was the most satisfying and uplifting
one of the whole series to date. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">After
the finale, I couldn’t settle. Perhaps it was the knowledge that I’d have to
wait until next year for Season 7. Or maybe it was I just couldn’t quite say
goodbye yet. Anyway, I went around the web and checked out a few commentaries
and reaction videos. I think some of the reaction videos can be quite funny but
as a rule, I generally don’t watch them – yet this week I did.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I
learnt several things as I watched. The first one is that I’m not the only one
that makes stabby gestures and yells at the t.v. – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kill him, stab him, oh, for heaven’s sake just kill him</i>. So I
suppose that’s comforting on some level. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The
second point was just how important storytelling is. From time immemorial we
have sat around fires as the night closed in and told each other stories of
great heroes, battles and magic. The stories served to teach us about bravery
in different forms, strength, honour, love, vengeance. They tell of how our
world came into being and how we fit within it. They taught us how to live and
what to aspire to. From Achilles on the plain of Ilium, the tricky Odysseus and
the Heroic Code to the myths of Asgard, Beowulf and the Mabinogion to
fairytales, 1001 Nights, medieval ballads and the Parsifal myth; they all have
lessons to those willing to listen. How to be brave in the face of adversity,
how to show compassion, how to use your wits and how to live with honour. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The
above image shows the lovely Jon Snow facing down the enemy supposedly single handily.
It is not an original image and has been used to optimum effect in storytelling
for centuries, but it still evokes a powerful response in reader/watcher/
listener. A hero or a small group of heroes confront a huge insurmountable
force. His cause seems lost and yet he will still meet his enemy head on and
die fighting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The
third thing I noticed with the reaction videos was that they were very similar.
I suppose I should have expected that they would be. We all seemed to cheer,
cringe and shout for joy in the same places. And in my case cue the stabby
gestures and the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">kill him</i> rant. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">But
the underlying theme for me was that the old lessons were still there. And it
doesn’t matter in what format they’re presented – oral, written, drawn or on
the screen. They reinforce what we have already learned when reading our very
first fairytales and myths. They connect us and give a shared view of what it
is to be heroic. And then with that knowledge our perception of what could be/should
be is altered. How you internalise and use the information is up to you. When
confronted with a situation do you react or do you draw on the knowledge
learned?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">And
no, I don’t mean picking up a Valyrian sword and hunting down a nearest White Walker.
But rather taking the higher ground, the warrior’s path and the heroic code.
You’re brave, you’re clever, you endure, you know what’s right, you’re Achilles,
you’re Beowulf – you’re House Stark. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">And
that’s the true power of storytelling. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">My first rural romance,
McKellan’s Run has turned one. Yep, it’s been out in the big wide world for a
year. I have no idea where that time went. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">McKellan’s Run is set in
the fictional town of Violet Falls. The town is in Central Victoria and in the
middle of old gold country. It’s a story about learning to live with past mistakes
and taking chances. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Years
ago, Violet Beckett made the mistake of falling for the wrong MacKellan brother
and both she and her younger sister, Lily, paid the price. Now eight years
later, fate has brought Violet and her daughter, Holly, back to the house
Violet grew up in...As soon as Violet runs into Mac MacKellan, she wonders if
she should run all the way back to the city. But something about the look in
his eyes makes her want to linger. Can she trust him, can she trust herself or will
she be burned again?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif";">Mac
has had a soft spot for Violet Beckett for longer than he can remember. It
almost killed him to watch his brother woo her, use her and finally lose her.
From their very first encounter he's hooked. But how can he convince her that
not all MacKellans are the same?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

everyone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Life
has been a bit tumultuous over the past few months. Anyway, I’m back and hopefully
things will settle down and I’ll be able to get back into the swing – a la
writing that is. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">There’s
a bit of news. The small publisher that my early medieval romances were with is
closing its doors. This means that I’ll be getting the rights back. Some I will
republish myself and there are a couple I want to rewrite. The Lords of
Foxwoods Hall is the coupling of two novellas – Capturing Bliss and Seizing
Heaven. I really loved these stories and it was always my intention to finish
the series. I always thought that a magical betrothal ring which is handed down
to each generation of the Reynard family was intriguing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I’m toying with the idea of enlarging and
rewriting the first two stories and then writing the next two instalments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">So
goodbye Jupiter Garden Press and I’ll always be grateful for you picking up my
very first novella – The Trinket Seller’s Daughter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">In
other news, Hartley’s Grange which is the second book in the Violet Falls
series is doing well and become an Australian bestseller (which is absolutely
wonderful and I’m so happy that people think Flynn Hartley is as yummy as I
do!). So if you’re tempted to while away a few hours with a sexy grazier, I
hope you’ll give Hartley’s Grange a go. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
Hi everyone.<br />
<br />
I'm so excited about the promo ad for Hartley's Grange. The lovely marketing team at Allen & Unwin put it together and I think it's wonderful.<br />
<br />
And amazingly on top of that it's being shown in rural cinemas (Vic, NSW, Qld) from the 11th Feb - the 25th Feb.<br />
<br />
Still can't quite believe it. :)<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by,<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Hi everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">So the day has finally arrived and Hartley’s Grange has
been released into the wild. Hartley’s Grange is an Australian Rural Romance
(affectionately known as a Ru-Ro). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Hartley’s
Grange is set in the fictional town of Violet Falls and centres around Flynn as
he attempts to win over the heart of Lily Beckett. Up until now, Flynn has been
known as a player. He’s never allowed his emotions to get tangled up with
anyone else’s. But when Lily Beckett arrives back in town he finds himself in
danger of falling in love for the first time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Lily
thought she had it all until the day her life crashed and burned. So she’s
running back to her big sister Violet, to lick her wounds before trying to get
herself back together. She’s pretty much sworn off men for good... well, at
least for a while and the last thing she needs is the town’s sexy womanizer
chasing after her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Lily
knows that she shouldn’t even be contemplating the idea of her and Flynn but
the problem is that he can be so damn tempting. She’s been burnt by love and
Flynn doesn’t do commitment – so realistically where does that leave them? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">

can love really change a bad boy’s ways? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

colleague she's horrified to discover her long-term boyfriend is having an
affair. Totally devastated, she quits her job in fashion and breaks off their
relationship.<br />
<br />
Fleeing the city, Lily heads for sanctuary with her big sister, Violet, who
lives in the country with her daughter Holly. But bad luck comes in threes when
Lily has a car accident on the way. Thankfully she's not badly injured and

Life gradually picks up for Lily. She enjoys living with Violet and Holly, and
decides to stay for a while, designing clothes while renovating the beautiful
old shop she inherited.<br />

In the months that follow Flynn showers Lily with attention and it's clear he's
falling for her. But Lily's aware of Flynn's 'bad boy' reputation and doesn't
want to risk further heartbreak...<br />

From bestselling author Nicole Hurley-Moore, Hartley's Grange is an

with another story. So far I have a working title (Dirt Roads) and a few
thousand words. It’s a rural/small town story but it seems to be shaping up to
be a bit darker than my others. Hopefully over January it will turn into something
more tangible – well, at least that’s the plan. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s about a girl who is working so hard to
keep her farm afloat and earn her father’s praise that she’s forgotten to live.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Hi everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Sorry,
I’ve been missing for a few weeks but I’ve been busy polishing up Hartley’s
Grange. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">It will
be released on the 27<sup>th</sup> Jan, 2016 by Allen & Unwin – Yay!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Hartley’s
Grange is the follow up to McKellan’s Run. It’s an Australian rural romance
which is set in Central Victoria. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">There’s
a pivotal scene in the story which is set at the agricultural show in Violet Falls. I
based part of the scene on the local agricultural show which I’ve been going to
every year since I was a kid. Anyway, last night it rolled around again and
this time I took my camera. So I thought I’d share with you some of the
inspiration. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">I have
to admit, this is one of my favourite scenes. Please excuse some of the slightly
fuzzy pictures as a great photographer I’m not. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">I hope
that you'll love Flynn and Lily’s story as much as I do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">So
I’ve just returned from four fabulous days at the RWA Get Fresh Conference in
Melbourne. I was blown away by the friendliness and openness of such a large
group of authors. There were about 400 of us all packed into the beautiful <a href="http://melbourne.park.hyatt.com/en/hotel/home.html" target="_blank">Park Hyatt Melbourne</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">There
were some very interesting workshops and discussions such as characterization
with the fabulous <a href="http://writershelpingwriters.net/author/angela/" target="_blank">Angela Ackerman</a>, scene diagnosis with <a href="http://www.alisongoodman.com.au/" target="_blank">Alison Goodman</a>, Fact
into Fiction with <a href="http://www.valerieparv.com/" target="_blank">Valerie Parv</a> and Not Another Sex Scene with the amazing <a href="http://www.annegracie.com/" target="_blank">Anne Gracie</a>
and <a href="http://www.kellyhunter.net/index.html" target="_blank">Kelly Hunter</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">But
the one thing I loved above all else was being able to connect with people in
person. It was lovely to meet people that you chat online with in the flesh. I
also need to thank <a href="http://delwynjenkins.com/" target="_blank">Delwyn Jenkins</a> for looking after all of the newbies with
grace and kindness. She had a hundred of us on her hands so it was a big job. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;"> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

also did my very first book signing – thanks <a href="http://australianromancereaders.com.au/" target="_blank">ARRA</a> for organising the event (72
authors needed some wrangling). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Sorry I haven't posted in an age. I've been hiding in my turret wrestling with the next lot of edits. <br />

Today, I'm over that Australian Rural Romance with the lovely Rachael Johns. Hope you'll stop by and say hello. :)<br />

her wish for a different life. But Sophia discovers that the repercussions of
her actions could threaten to destroy not only her entire world but also her
heart. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>Lust, gluttony,
greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride. The Cynfell brothers are the very
embodiment of a sinful existence. But could the right woman change that?<o:p></o:p></b></div>

It’s not every day a duchess comes across a naked man on the
roadside. It’s not every day a duchess takes said naked man home with her. But
Evelyn Chesworth can hardly leave the poor man in nought but his skin on the
dangerous road to London. Particularly when he’s so attractive...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lord Pierce Cynfell is in a world of trouble. With his
brother threatening to cut him off and his gambling debts increasing, his
beautiful rescuer couldn’t have come at a better time. He can’t help but be
attracted to the worldly, mature woman. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So he certainly isn’t going to say no when she offers to
write off his debts in return for one thing—his body.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, it soon becomes clear more than his body is
becoming involved. While everyone else might think he’s only there for the
money, the beautiful widow slowly draws him deeper until he wants to unlock
every secret buried beneath those tight corsets. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Evelyn might let Pierce beneath her corsets but she’s
determined it will be no more than that. She has loved and lost twice in her
life and won’t let that happen again. Meanwhile, she has too many other things
to worry about—like the preservation of her son’s land. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Pierce begins to show himself as more than a skilled
lover, Evelyn has a choice—let herself be vulnerable again or send away the man
who lights a fire in her body, heart and soul.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Yes,
as you can see I’m finally back. I managed to finish my rural romance which is the
second instalment in the Violet Falls series but then I was hit with the winter
lurgy. Anyway, I’m better and feeling like I’m back on top of things (which is
always a bonus). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">As
I’ve been quite slack lately, my writing list has grown but I haven’t managed
to cross much off it. So it’s high time that I became a little more proactive
and start writing ‘properly’ again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">I’m
taking a tiny break before I begin my next Australian rural romance and
finishing off a fairytale that I started last year. I’ve written over half of
it and it would be a shame not to finish Mariella and Prince Navarre’s story. My
Wolven Heart is the second book in the Tales from the Hearthfire series, the
first being Black is the Colour. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Tales
from the Hearthfire tells the stories of the three Rubana sisters, Ciana,
Mariella and Elisabetta. In Black is the Colour, Ciana (the youngest) had to
save her lover from the witch’s curse. It was a story about true love, magic
and ravens. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">My
Wolven Heart is the eldest sister’s story. Mariella finds herself forcibly
married to a man she loathes and separated from her beloved sisters. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Forced
into a marriage she never wanted. Mariella finds herself in a dark and
mysterious world. The village of Darcel Holt is hidden in the heart of a deep
wood. It is steeped in misery, slavery and fur. As Mariella unravels the
secrets of the village she must ask herself, who is truly the monster -
Mariella’s new husband or the enigmatic stranger in the forest? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Prince
Navarre Trevoré must fight to free his people from their bound slavery. He has
no time to dally with a mortal – particularly the wife of his sworn enemy. But
Mariella’s kindness touches his heart and her soulful eyes haunt his dreams and
cause him to entertain thoughts that he never should have. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">So
this is what I’m spending the next couple of weeks on. As much as I love the
contemporary rural romances (and I really do love them), it’s nice to dip back
into a fantasy medieval world which is filled with enchantment and in this
particular case, werewolves. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The
lovely Tess Woods is with us today to answer a few questions and tell us a bit
about her novel, Love at First Flight. Tess lives in Perth, Australia with one
husband, two children, one dog and one cat who rules over all of them. Love at
First Flight is her first novel for HarperCollins.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #7030a0; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;">What inspired you to write this story?<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Book Antiqua","serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I've always
been inspired by the tragic love story, the story of great love that just can't
be. My favourite book The Bridges of Madison County stayed with me years after
reading it and played on my mind. Then I read Twilight and out of nowhere I had
to write my own book. Before this I had never entertained the idea of writing.
But the longing in Twilight and the knowing that the one you love is the one
that is dangerous for you resonated with me and I just had to write about that.
So with the themes of desire and danger, I wrote a book about a married mother,
because I wanted to write of what I know. I wanted to bring the great love
story into the world of the typical suburban mum who is chasing after kids,
working and running a home. I wanted her to have that Romeo and Juliet moment.
So I wrote 'Love at First Flight'.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

contemporary romance called Flat White With One which is about my main
character Mel’s son as an adult (he is a teenager in Love at First Flight).
Nick is Australia’s most popular football player, a real playboy who falls for
a young, conservative Egyptian girl named Anna with a tragic past who is
anything but the typical footballer’s girlfriend. Flat White With One is their
love story. Nick and Anna are tested by her family, Nick’s football community
and the Australian public as nobody seems to approve of them being together. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

editor, Anna, that <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Flight</span> could
be about birds or kites and she wanted something that sold the story more. I
received that email while I was having lunch with my friend Emma on her
birthday. I complained and moaned about needing to change the title. Emma came
up with <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Love at First Flight</span>. I
emailed Anna. She thought I was a genius. I happily took the credit! I’ve been
told by my literary agent that she is letting me keep the title of my next book
Flat White With One <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">for now </span>so
we’ll have to wait and see if I don’t end up naming that one either, hey!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Robert James Waller captured my heart like no other love story could. I read it
in one sitting, I simply couldn’t put it down. That such a passionate love
story could take place between two quite outwardly plain, middle-aged people in
sleepy Iowa, where not much ever happens, was amazing to me. The connection
between Francesca and Robert and their tragic Romeo and Juliet ‘not meant to
be’ love pulled at my heartstrings. They made me believe in love at first sight
and I went on to write my own book inspired by their intense love. I thought
Robert Kincaid was the most romantic male character I have ever come across.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Horse Whisperer stayed with me and inspired me. But when Stephenie Meyer wrote
Twilight, something shifted inside me when I read it and I just had to write a
book myself!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

inspired me to write a novel set in this unique and wonderful country. After
travelling throughout Europe, my husband and I decided to ‘wind down’ towards
the end of our trip. We boarded a magnificent cruise ship in Venice and for the
next sixteen days visited Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro and Sicily as well as
circumnavigating Italy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and as I write romantic suspense, I began thinking how a villain might breach
that security. All from the comfort of my sunbed, of course. Also on board was
an accomplished, primarily Russian, string quartet and the seeds of a story began
to form in my mind, a kind of ‘cat and mouse’ chase beginning in Venice and continuing
along the Italian Riviera.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
