The big news this month is the launch of www.harlequinromanceauthors.com - a joint effort by a number of Harlequin Romance and Mills & Boon Tender to try and alert readers to what a great line this is … contemporary stories that  give you just what you want from a romance.  Apart from news about forthcoming releases, there’s a ‘Day in the life of’ each author – a twist on the standard biographies – and a Café Corner, where you can eavesdrop on the conversations Romance authors have when they get together.  The website was only launched on Sunday, so we’ll be revising it and adding new features as time goes by, but do have a look and let us know what you think. 

Of course, the main reason you should look at the site is to see Walter, my tabby, who against all expectations posed like a star for the “photoshoot” we had here.  He even sat on command six times, to dropped jaws all round!  Of course, he had so much praise heaped on him for this simple action that he is now complacent enough for twenty cats … and anyone who has a cat will know how complacent that is!  Here he is, anyway, in one of his poses, together with Megan, our wonderful model who got very hot lying in front of that fire while I tried to coax Walter into position!
