It's been a very long time since I've posted here, and I'm not sure anyone even still uses LJ other than aome (lady, you need to be on FB!), but just in case....

I'm very excited to post that I will be a published romance author as of February next year! I have a contemporary romance trilogy coming out in February, April and June. In May, I will have a novella published in an anthology for charity, and then October will see the publication of a second chance standalone romance. Come 2021, a five book romantic suspense series is planned. If you'd like to keep up to date with the books when they come out, you can find me in the following places:

Website - this is still a WIP and will be up and running next month. You'll be able to sign up for a newsletter to keep up to date with everything if social media isn't your thing!

Hope to see some familiar faces around <3

Let's talk about cooking shows, you and I.

I seem to have developed a fascination with cooking shows. I don't think anyone would ever accuse me of being a cook; while I can make probably half a dozen dishes that will whet the appetite, I don't particularly enjoy cooking. And with the various allergies and intolerances I seem to have (along with my general fussiness when it comes to eating) I sadly couldn't be called a foodie, either. I'd love to be able to eat way more foods than I do, but that's for another post.

In November, I discovered a channel dedicated to food here in Oz. I believe it's modelled very closely on the US Food Network, because a lot of the shows seem to be from that channel. It means I've been introduced to some crazily good cooking shows that I'm enjoying very much (or not, as the case may be). Let's have a looksee, shall we?

( Food, glorious foodCollapse )

Do you watch a good food show I haven't listed? Let me know so I can check it out!

I once again brush away the cobwebs and say hello! How are you? Well, I hope. It's been awhile since I posted here, but I'm back to make another attempt at journalling once more. As much as I'd like to do it by hand, the arthritis I appear to be getting in my fingers makes that hard.

I haven't regularly kept a journal in many, many years, so we'll see how we go. Can't promise to be interesting or amusing, although I'll try. The real question is... who's still around? Say hi and let me know, won't you?
