Here I come!
Yesterday I shopped till I dropped but I'm happy to report I have my Roaring Twenties Harlequin cocktail party number (stay tuned for snaps!!), my workshop goodies, wardrobe accessories and last minute underwear selections. Oh, and a pair of false eyelashes. Don't ask.
Bob Mayer, Jane Porter, Susan Wiggs, Kristin Nelson, Caitlin Crews as well as icons like Bronwyn Jameson and Marion Lennox will be in attendance. The Saturday night awards evening is a fave. This year RWAust. organised a contest to judge the best Harlequin cover of the last twenty years! I'm totally stoked to say that my second Desire cover for For Blackmail or Pleasure is one of the finalists.
Look here for a peak...

Have a great time Robyn I soo enjoyed being at Coogee last year and so wish I could have been there this year as well but maybe next year.
ReplyDeleteI am going away this weekend for a romance readers retreat at Bowral and am really looking forward to it and I am sure we will be checking for winners while there.
Good luck to you and everyone there really are some great covers and great books nominated for the awards
Have Fun

Helen, it was so lovely meeting you last year. Coogee was a brilliant conference, and I bet this one in Melbourne will even top that!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your romance readers retreat. I really would love to hear more about that!

Sounds like you're going to have an awesome time! Here's so hoping your cover wins! Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn,
ReplyDeleteAll the best for your nominated cover and enjoy yourself!
Thank you so much, Marlena and Nas!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on the net or *two whole days*! I didn't win but Bronwyn Jameson did so I don't mind at all, particularly given it was for her Princes of the Outback series!!
Am having a fab time!
