Two bits of exciting news (well, three if you count me figuring out how to install and operate an electric fence to keep in my seven brand new ewes and a ram named Dexter):

1. Jenny Fallon, having visited me in July this year for all of one day, fell in love with the place and has decided to move across. She'll be here early next month for another look-see.

2. I've started work on an SGU novel. This really is early days, with me writing notes more than story, but I'm immensely excited by the feel of the new incarnation of Stargate. Don't expect much news about the novel until early next year as it's spring in NZ (despite the snow on the foothills behind my property) and there's much planting as yet to be done. Plus the sheep need shearing...thankfully, I have fabulous neighbours who know how to do such things (thanks Alan!).

I've just seen the galley proof for my short story, More Than One Life in How Do I Love Thee (edited by Valerie Parv) and it looks fabulous! Available from all good bookstores around Australia December 01, this is an excerpt from the publisher's website (Allen and Unwin)

Just like a delicious box of assorted chocolates, this swoon-worthy collection of romantic stories - inspired by Elizabeth Barrett Browning's famous romantic sonnet and written by the cream of Australia's romance writers - has something to please everyone.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways ...

With these words from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's famous romantic sonnet to inspire them, twelve wonderful writers offer new and tantalising views on love and romance which will make your heart beat faster.

This collection is like a box of chocolates, there's something delicious for everyone. From Valerie Parv's Never Too Late, featuring the gorgeously rugged Cade Thatcher, to Anita Bell's wickedly funny Killer Smile, and Anna Jacob's poignant soldier-settlers tale A Much-Needed Wife, these stories and others will engage your dreams and desires. Romance served with a twist of classic suspense or vampires, time-travelling or the erotic - this selection is a delight.

These unique love stories are brought to you by some of Australia's top-selling and award-winning authors with international sales in the millions.

How do I Love Thee appeals to that little bit of the romantic in us all.
