Can't Wait
To bring my dog Poppy home from the specialist hospital where she's been all week. Thankfully the surgery to remove a tumour from her adrenal glands was successful but it was risky and I've spent the week either strung out or making the two hour round trip to the hospital.
So the word count has been low but with only 5K to go to finish The Art of Seduction I'm hoping to get the ms polished and subbed by the end of March :-)

Shock News from the British Press
Okay, so recently we had a favourable article which said romance novelists were nice (who knew? ;-)
http://www.express.co.uk/comment/columnists/richard-and-judy/381301/Love-is-all-around-at-the-Romantic-Novelist-Of-The-Year-Awards
And now there's another article in The Express (http://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/383201/Why-a-hint-of-sex-is-tempting-more-to-read-Mills-Swoon) which says romance novelists may even have a role to play in our society. Okay, so it's the belated realisation that there are sexy reads to be had that has nudged the latest conclusion but frankly who cares? It's been so long since I read a favourable article about romance novelists in a British newspaper I am definitely in shock!
