Welcome to 2017 - may it be full of books and laughter.

Welcome readers to the new year.

I for one am very happy to be kissing 2016 good-bye. I usually do a little recap of the year that was but this year I'm moving on and looking ahead rather than looking back.

Not that I'm not proud of what I managed to accomplish in 2016 but it didn't feel like much. A lot of two steps back and one step forward. I will say that I was particularly pleased with the finished novella Snowbound, A Chicklit Christmas Novella and if you haven't yet read it and you enjoy my books I urge you to get a copy for a fun read.

I'm very happy to announce that Any Way You Want It, the fifth book in the Upper Crust Series is out this week. I love this book because I adore the main characters. Chloe and Moose have both appeared in previous books as minro characters and now they get their own story which I just loved writing. I think Moose might be my best book-boyfriend yet which is no small call and especially hard for a character called Moose to pull off.

I have a Valentine's Day novella I'm hoping to release in February and then the final book in the Upper Crust Series, for now anyway.

After that we'll see. I have another series started and a couple of stand-alone novels so we'll just have to see what speaks to me. (If you have any thoughts on that, let me know). Either way the next batch of books are set back in Australia although they have strong American connections.

That's it for now Any Way You Slice It I hope 2017 is a good year for all of us.
