Valentine’s Day is here again
2008 was an amazing year, so many wonderful memories for me, and it seems incredible that we are already into February 2009.
Cool Lyrebird Lake banner Sally put on eharlequin.com.au
There’s a lot to look forward to this year.
Two more Lyrebird Lake books to come out after this one, four days kayaking up the mighty Macleay River in March, five days in Coogee with writing friends in April, Romance Writers Australia conference in Brisbane in August, Melbourne Cup cruise in November to celebrate milestone birthday (just like Barbie), and probably a few midwifery conferences in between. Woohoo. You may ask, ‘When am I going to write?’ Little and often, at the very least, ’cause I’m planning on three more books this year.
Plus I’m researching my latest book set in the Kimberley’s, far north Western Australia. If I was a good penny saver I’d fly up there and see what I’m researching because it looks and sounds absolutely stunning. If you’ve been along the Gibbs River Road to Derby then drop me an email, please. I’d love to hear of your experiences. The best fact or anecdote wins a book.
So to Valentine’s Day. It’s coming around to one of the most romantic times of the year, when you take time to show and tell your special someone, again, that you love them. Romance is good, it’s wonderful, and so much more fun than being sad. Make sure you make someone smile on February 14th because the world will smile with them.
It was Valentine’s Day eight years ago since my first book was on the shelves and ten since I was first accepted by HM&B. So Valentine’s Day is special for me in many ways.
Be with someone you love on Valentine's Day 2009
Apart from celebrating with my darling husband, the most romantic man I know, another thrill this year is the first of my Lyrebird Lake Maternity books hits the shelves in Australia this month. Check out the full description in my 25th November Blog.
Lastly, the winner of last month’s copy of The Midwife’s Little Miracle, goes to Debra Guyette. Send me another mail, Deb, as I need your postal address.
Wishing Love and Romance to all in February 2009

Fiona, I hope you have a great 8th ‘On the shelf’ anniversary!!! (Being a writer does give new meaning to ‘being on the shelf’ – & in a good way). Wishing you continued success.
cheers

Thanks Eleni
