2020 Emerald Award Winner

Picture
I'm thrilled to announce that my manuscript Reunited with the Millionaire has won the 2020 Emerald Award for best unpublished romance manuscript with Romance Writers of Australia! Tonight, I attended the virtual awards dinner at home in Townsville with my mum and the puppies, Isabella and Jacob. I threw a tropical themed party to keep in theme with the Whitsunday setting in the novel.

I am equally thrilled that Reunited with the Millionaire came highly commended in RWA's Valerie Parv Award and RWNZ's Pacific Hearts Award.

Attended the Romance Writers of Australia Conference

Picture
This weekend, I attended the Romance Writers of Australia conference where I participated in The Deep Dive manuscript workshop with author Rachel Bailey, learned how to construct lovable alpha heroes, and attended a workshop on crime writing to improve my romantic suspense skills. I pitched three manuscripts to publishers and built my skills in creating conflict and plot structure. I enjoyed socialising with her fellow writers, bought too many books, and left with the goal to focus on writing category romance.
