Congrats on your latest release. :)<br />Something I've done in the past that had unexpected consequences was when I remarked to my flatmate how cute his friend was - and he went and TOLD him. Thankfully his friend liked me too so then we got together.

I guess the most amazing thing that happened never saw coming was with Cherry Adair and being seated next to Emma Darcy and Miranda Lee, because Cherry wanted me with her at my first conference. That was such OMG moment in my life since I have been reading their books from years ago. Never did I ever think I would meet someone like Darcy, come to that Cherry or you for the first time. Then in the lift with Jane Porter the next year. I guess the best thing that had happened in my life apart from marriage and kids was becoming RWAus member and learning and helping my writing. One just doesn't know who you meet from year to year, learning and socialising. 3 more days to go then off to Brisbane ;) Jan VanEngenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10352051823518943852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-16435963682779443922017-08-06T09:19:34.277+10:002017-08-06T09:19:34.277+10:00When I was at school (some years back now.)
