I'm in a book dedication!


Yesterday I received a parcel from the lovely Annie West. It contained her latest release 'Forgotten Mistress, Secret Love-Child', which was a brilliant (any writer/reader who gets a free book is usually over the moon!), but what was the best part was the note she wrote to me, and the fact I was one of the people she dedicated the book to!

A while back I helped her with some research into the region of Italy where my dad is from, but I certainly didn't expect anything in return. It really warms my heart to think she appreciated my help enough to put a dedication in there with the other people who helped (I recognise some of those names!), and I can't thank her enough for it.

It's almost, but not quite, like having my name it print! :-) Make sure you go out and buy a copy of the book that's due in February here in Australia (see http://www.annie-west.com/forgottenmistresssecretlovechild.html or http://www.millsandboon.com.au/product.asp?productid=1354&dest=%2Fcategory%2Easp%3Fbookcategoryid%3D25%26page%3D1). Get a load of that sexy male model on the cover. I'm an arm gal, and that muscly arm is pretty hot *drool*.

Oh, and different topic, I forgot to promote my Day in the Writing Life blog post on the RWA blog (you'd think I'd remember by now!). This week was Sandie Hudson. Check it out at http://romanceaustralia.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/a-day-in-the-writing-life-of-sandie-hudson/.

WooHoo Mon. You just need to get your name a couple of pages earlier (ya know, the cover *wink*)! But I'm sure it won't be long 'til we see it there.

Mon,
I noticed the arm straight away!

Is he a real model?

Shayne, dumb blonde

Guess what, my word verification is 'gogles' - just missing another 'g')

Mon said...

Lol, AJ. That would be nice :-) I dearly hope it'll happen one day.

EK, it is lovely!

Rach, it is, isn't it?

Cathryn, shanks muchly!

Shanye, the arms are hawt. Love it. Would be great to see the rest of his chest *wink*
