So yesterday was very exciting as I found out that one of my evil twin aka M.J. Scott books has finalled in the Best Paranormal Romance category of the RITAs! Woot! I’m thrilled. I still don’t quite believe it!

In other fun news, my friend Anne Gracie (who writes lovely lovely Regencies) has a new website and asked me to do a painting for it! Very chuffed. Never thought I’d be able to say I sold a painting. It’s a gorgeous site, go check it (and her books) out.

Don’t forget that Playing Hard is out and that Playing Fast has a release date…August 30! Yay! If you haven’t caught up with the New York Saints yet, you can check out THE DEVIL IN DENIM and ANGEL IN ARMANI and LAWLESS IN LEATHER.

If you stick around here you can learn a little about me and my books, and check out some of my favorite writers and writing links and other stuff. For even more about me check out the FAQs.

Conferencing again

I’m back from New York (awesome but hot but awesome) and off to another conference. This weekend I’m at the Romance Writers of Australia Conference in my lovely home town, Melbourne. It’s even supposed to be turning on some warmer weather, so yay. I’ll be signing at the Australian Romance Readers Assocation booksigning on Saturday afternoon along with many other awesome authors. All the info about that is over on the ARRA blog.

LAWLESS IN LEATHER has almost been out for a few months now (time flies!)  (If you haven’t yet, links to buy here). I had a great time writing Mal and Raina, so hope you all have a great time reading their story. Thanks to everyone who’s already read and reviewed and given Mal and Raina the thumbs up.If you read and would like to leave a review at one of your fave book buying places, that would be awesome. And if you haven’t caught up with the New York Saints yet, you can check out THE DEVIL IN DENIM and ANGEL IN ARMANI.

I’m currently doing the revisions PLAYING HARD, which is Oliver Shields’ book for those who’ve met him in the books so far. At this stage it looks like it will be out in Feb 2016. And I’m getting there on the writing of PLAYING FAST, the fifth Saints book. Hopefully it will be finished in a few more weeks. You’ll meet the hero of this book in Oliver’s book. He’s a bit of a troublemaker, so I’m going to have fun making him earn his happy ending. Next up, I’ll be writing an evil twin book, the sequel to THE SHATTERED COURT, which came out in April (start of a new series, so time to get in and read it).
