Well,
this post was going to be all about my experience of the fourth Australian Romance Readers Convention which was held by ARRA at
the QT Canberra over the weekend. I was due to attend and be part of the book-signing
and on a panel titled, A Rich
Man's World. The panel included Melanie Scott, Sofia Tate, and Sylvia Day and
was chaired by Kat
Mayo from bookthingo. How great would that have been?
Alas, best laid plans…
I got sick. Very sick. Probably
the sickest I’ve ever been. Over a
week in bed. Hooray. Just what the doctor ordered.
You know how you dream
sometimes about how wonderful it would be to spend a week in bed reading, watching
movies and generally veging out? Well, turns out it becomes really boring after
about five minutes. It certainly was for me. I’m a woman of action and lying
around nearly drove me insane. And I was too sick to do any actual work, so
very unproductive all around.
But, I’m on the mend now. In
fact I have to get better as I’m doing a bookshop signing at my local book store,
Mary Ryan’s, this coming Thursday. I’ve got together with women’s fiction author,
Lisa Walker and the fabulous and hilarious Mandy Nolan. We will be chatting
about writing, books and love.
Lisa recently launched her new
book Arkie's
Pilgrimage to the Next Big Thing. I’ve nearly finished
Lisa’s brilliant story and it is such a great read. Kerry Goldsworthy from the Sydney Morning Herald said:
“This is a funny, charming and thoughtful kind of chick lit, full of
witty one-liners and intriguing minor characters, realistic about the
vicissitudes of love and desire.”
Mandy’s book Boyfriends We've All Had
(and Shouldn't Have) is laugh-out-loud funny. I read it last year before I appeared with
Mandy and my fellow LoveCat, Amy Andrews at the Byron Bay Writers Festival.
Wasn’t that a blast, Amy?
If you are in Byron Bay on
Thursday, 12 March at 5.30pm, drop into Mary Ryan’s for a fun night! I’d love
to see you there.
So, have you ever been sick and missed something you’ve really been looking forward to?
