One Today!

 As today officially marks one year to the day since I received 'The Call' from Charlotte Mursell at Harlequin Mills & Boon ® I figured it was about time I set up a blog. Okay, it's a work in progress but I really wanted to get a giveaway going to celebrate.

You see, writing romance was always my dream. One which drove me, and everyone around me, to distraction over the years. I'm not what you would call ambitious - if I can get through the day without losing my pen I call it an achievement - but I was stubborn on the issue of writing. It was all I ever wanted to do from a very young age. Hence years of submitted manuscripts and subsequent rejection letters.


I had some success with short stories and small articles published over the years but that only made me more determined to get that elusive book contract some day. After reading up on the craft of writing and entering every competition Harlequin had going, I started to make progress and my dream seemed to actually be within my grasp.


I spotted this ring on a trip to London a couple of years ago and promised myself I would use it for a giveaway WHEN I hit the big time. 
(Surprisingly optimistic for someone who spent more time whinging about not being published than actually finishing a manuscript!)

You could've knocked me down with a feather when I reached the final of the So You Think You Can Write competition last year. The next time I visited London was to celebrate the release of my medical romance, French Fling to Forever. 





One year after getting my long awaited contract I'm working on book four and true to my word I'm celebrating with a giveaway - a signed copy of the 2-in-1 version of my book (with the fab Sue MacKay) and that precious ring.




All you have to do is enter the rafflecopter draw and a winner will be chosen at random. Competition is open to all! :)
