OMG! I happened across this clip the other day and now I’m too scared to go out the house…well, okay, not really, but boy this is funny. I can’t get the clip to embed so the link is below :D

Crimes of Carelessness

The 1950s were a dangerous decade. Back then you could be killed by nearly anything, and you frequently were. It was a different time. People were tougher. Today you get killed once, that’s it. Back in the ’50s you could get killed literally hundreds of times and it weren’t nothing.

Goodnight Kiwi

Before the advent of 24 hour TV here in NZ the network used to show this cute little clip before going off air. Now it seems parents in general don’t know when AO content programming commences in our green land so the broadcasting people are looking at reintroducing ‘Goodnight Kiwi’ as a reminder that what follows is not recommended for children’s viewing.

 

Personally, I love the clip, and when I did my TV interviews down at the Avalon studio in Lower Hutt last year I have to admit I looked up to the tower and the broadcasting dishes etc and wondered what ever happened to the little guy :-)

 

So, here for your viewing pleasure… Goodnight Kiwi

I’m the proud recipient of another absolutely amazing cover. This time for my August release, CLAIMING HIS RUNAWAY BRIDE. Just had to share it with you all! The book is available for preorder at Barnes & Noble now.

 

 

And the back cover blurb is very to the point:

 

He Didn’t Want

Her To Remember…

The accident that had taken Belinda’s

memory had provided Luc with the

perfect means for revenge. His beautiful

bride had no recollection of fleeing her

groom on their wedding day…or the

real reason behind their union. All she

recalled was the unbridled passion they

still shared—and the steely-eyed mogul

planned to take full advantage of it.

Kate Walker’s 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance — 2nd edition!

Anyone who is keen to learn the basics of writing a romance novel and doing it well enough to potentially earn a living out of continuing to write them should have a copy of Kate Walker’s 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance.

 

The 12 Point Guide is an excellent reference guide for romance writers of all levels–easy to use and very easy to read.

 

This edition is Kate’s second, the first sold out! And she’s taken the time to update much of the information as well as include a new section “From the Author’s Desks” where she’s gathered information from authors writing for various romance lines (yours truly included) and has presented their open and honest comments for you all to read and enjoy.

 

Kate has been writing popular romance for more than 16 years and has over 40 books published. Not only that but she is a great tutor in workshop and conference situations as well. Believe me, what she doesn’t know about the industry, probably isn’t worth knowing.
