Found this Christmas card in the cupboard when I was tidying at 3am this morning, five months too late to send. It depicts Il Duomo in Milan and when I spotted it, it took me back to my weekend with my travel buddy Hannah last March. I knew she’d appreciate the card – so perhaps you’ll remind me to send it this coming December 🙄
Italy Italy is everywhere it seems .. and a very popular location for romance novels. I give you this link … 💒 … in which you should find the wonderful blog by Angela Petch. A fellow-RNA member, writer and all round kindness-filled lady whom I met and clicked with at last year’s Conference near Leeds.
In this post Angela chats to Daisy James, author of the Paradise Cookery School series and now the Limoncello series, published by Canelo Escape Publishing.
I enjoyed reading about Daisy’s writing day, seeing her summer house where she writes when it’s warm enough. The archery link is something I’ll bring up when I see her next time at an RNA event. (We sat next to each other last autumn at the York tea ☕️)
Perhaps now is the time to submit my Tuscan novel to these guys at Canelo to see if they fancy a little romance/mafia 🖤😅
No. For now, we wait. The manuscript is with the New Writer’s Scheme for its read-through by one of the multi-published authors of romance. Receiving the feedback report will be a double-edged sword; petrifying and exciting! To see what the reader thinks works or not. eeeeek!
Have a great day folks!

Thanks so much for sending a link. I love the #WritingCommunity. I can’t wait to read your debut novel – set in Italy. Archery (or, to be more precise Crossbow) is the main sport of our nearest town and each year there is a spectacular tournament with everybody dressed in costume. (Men in tights… say no more). I feature this in one of the chapters in my WIP, which will come out 2020. Busy with the first draft at the moment. Now, off social media and on with the writing (and dreaming of men in tights!) Thanks – or – grazie! xxx baci
And, hopefully, see you at Conference!
