I have some fun things coming up for this blog.

Next month — and I know next month starts tomorrow. Eek! Has anyone else noticed how close Christmas is? *hyperventilates* Anyways, I’m starting a new series of guest posts in November:  “In Love With Coastal Romance: [Fabulous Author Star]”. Guest authors will chat about what they love about living or holidaying by the sea, and perhaps, how they bring the relaxed coastal vibe into their own lives.

You’re going to love these authors and their posts!

And talking about the relaxed coastal vibe, I’ve fallen in love with Coastal Living magazine‘s Facebook page. You should check it out for some great ideas and the marvellous way they match a seaside quotation with a fabulous photo. Inspirational!

I’ve also realised a huge oversight in my Coastal Romance blogging – where are the books? There have been some wonderful recent releases in the subgenre.

Jayne Castle, Deception Cove, a Rainshadow Island novel. This is science fiction romance at its most fun. Suspenseful and delightful.

Coleen Kwan, Baiting the Boss. If you’ve ever dreamed of a tropical island, just you and your boss… How come I’ve never had a boss who inspired that sort of dream? 🙂

Victoria Purman, Nobody But Him. Second chance love is one of my favourite tropes. And it’s a gorgeous cover.

I caught up with my critique partner for lunch last week – where else, but by the beach? With a setting like this, putting the publishing world to rights was easy!

Also – yep, there’s more! There’s a chance to win all three of my angel and djinn “Out of the Bottle” romance novellas as well as a witch’s bag full of other great books over at the Dark Side DownUnder blog where we’re celebrating Halloween and our birthday.
