On Wednesday night, we had the pleasure of celebrating the launch of the RNA’s fabulous anthology, Loves Me, Loves Me Not.  This wonderful golden tome contains over forty fabulous short stories and is published to celebrate the RNA’s 50th anniversary.  Most of the contributors were there and we were all happy to pose in our finery on the amazing staircase at the Cavalry and Guards Club in Piccadilly.   

Here I am with the RNA’s marvellous chair and writer extraordinaire, Katie Fforde - both of us wearing celebratory gold.

And chatting to the gorgeous and gracious Joanna Trollope.

I also met the lovely Adele Parks…

and Carole Matthews whose heels were snapped for Janet Gover’s shoe blog!

And here I am posing on that fabulous staircase. 

It was such a great evening and I hope we don’t have to wait another 50 years until the next one!

I’m delighted to announce that the trade paperback of Loves Me, Loves Me Not is out now.  This collection of romantic short stories is published in celebration of the Romantic Novelists’ Association’s 50th anniversary and includes stories by Joanna Trollope, Carole Matthews, Adele Parks, Judy Astley and many more wonderful writers. 

And I’m delighted that one of my own stories features in it too.  It’s called Mummies and Daddies and is about a children’s writer who gets a second chance at love in the mummy rooms of the British Museum.  If you’ve read Molly’s Millions, you’ll realise that the British Museum is a favourite setting of mine!
