I’ve been planing a refresh of the site design for a while - ever since I saw the cover for DANGEROUS LIES.  I wanted something that worked with my ‘desert book’ and continued my theme of the harsh but beautiful in the landscapes around us….  Stonecreek Media worked their usual deft magic, and here we are.

So, how’d you like it?  Have a look around.  I’ve dropped a couple of new photos into the gallery and I’m fiddling about here and there, so have a browse and let me know what you think.

Congratulations to Donna L Anderson, who is the winner from my newsletter mailing list!

I’ve had too much fun assembling the best of Moroccan-themed, and English Lake District-themed gifts, plus, of course, a signed copy of Dangerous Lies!

Donna, I’ve sent you an e-mail, so if you receive that and/or read this, please e-mail me your postal addy, so I can send you your prize.

It’s been a crazy, fun month, celebrating the release of Dangerous Lies, and now settling in to my new look for my website!  It’s not so much a new home, as… a new interior design look.  I love it - what do you think?

To everyone who signed up for my newsletter, hosted me, commented on a blog, or generally cheered, read, and got involved - THANK YOU!  I’ve had a ball.

After the unalloyed fun of the last few blogs, it’s something a bit more thoughtful and business-y today.  I’m blogging at Writer Unboxed, as the guest of Therese Walsh (there’s a lot of buzz about Therese’s upcoming debut, The Last Will of Moira Leahy, keep a watch on that one!) about writing for an Independent Publisher.

I asked a few of my Medallion Press colleagues for their thoughts, too, so it’s a bonus blog!

Today I’m the guest of the fabulous Romance Bandits, giving away a copy of Dangerous Lies and some lovely Moroccan Rose lotions from The Body Shop.

Don’t forget, if you want to be in the drawing for a Grand Prize of lots of goodies, you need to sign up to my newsletter (signup in the sidebar on the homepage!).

Today (later - it’s at US time again) I’m at the Writers At Play blog, talking about crazy family stories…. comment for a change to win a signed copy of Dangerous Lies!

[EDIT - I’m getting ahead of myself - I keep thinking today is Thursday!  TOMORROW, Thursday June 4th, I’ll be at Magical Musings!]

Today you can catch me at Magical Musings, talking about putting the soul into your settings…

My Author Spotlight, where you can find out a bit more background about me and about Dangerous Lies, is also up on the Medallion Press site, here. 

Phew, I’m getting everywhere!

I’m over at Pink Fuzzy Slippers on Monday, talking about inspiration for settings… a particularly big deal for Dangerous Lies.  Come on over and comment to win!

And remember, sign up to my newsletter (there’s a box in the sidebar of my homepage) for a chance to win a goody bag with Dangerous Lies, Moroccan Rose lotions from The Body Shop and more…  Don’t worry, I don’t send many newsletters - I’ve sent, I think, four in two years!
