The X Factor for novels & I'm a finalist!

I'm thrilled that one of my self-published novels has made it through to the final 250 out of 3100 entries!

This comp is like The X Factor for novels, where the public are the judges. Exciting!

Fingers crossed I progress further!

RBY finalist!

Absolutely thrilled that ROMANCE FOR CYNICS is a finalist for this year's RBY (Romantic Book of the Year) award in the Best Short Sexy category.

I loved pitting two cynics against each other in this book and I'm so glad the reader judges approved!

I won this award in 2013 but the ceremony was in Fremantle so I couldn't attend.
This year's event is in Melbourne in August and I can't wait!

National Readers' Choice Award finalist!

Thrilled to announce that my young adult paranormal fantasy novel SCION OF THE SUN is a finalist in the NATIONAL READERS' CHOICE AWARDS YA category.

This is the competition I won last year with Marrying the Enemy, in the contemporary series section.

SCION OF THE SUN holds a special place in my heart and I'm thrilled to final in a new genre for me with the first YA book I wrote.
