WHAT A BUZZ

What a buzz meeting so many readers and writers at Romance Writers of America in San Francisco. Feedback for the workshop I presented with Bronwyn Parry was wonderful.

No problems with the Aussie accents and expressions, maybe because of the helpful guide HERE

Awarding the Golden Heart for Romantic Suspense in front of 2,000 people had a real Oscars feel. Special congratulations to former Valerie Parv Award winner, Kelly Stanley, a Rita Award Finalist this year.

After a visit to Los Angeles for more meetings, it was off to Melbourne for the Romance Writers of Australia conference to present the 2008-09 VP Award to promising urban fantasy writer, Erica Hayes.

More good news from former VPA winners in Melbourne too, with Rachel Robinson selling to Silhouette Desire, and Bronwyn Parry's romantic suspense, As Darkness Falls , which I was delighted to launch at Dymocks on Collins.

Back to my own writing now, with a new story - Meant to Be - accepted by Woman's Day.

[On sale NOW]
Cheers,
Valerie
