LUCY'S PICKED A WINNER...
Many thanks to Lucy Gordon for being such a great guest in the past week. She's picked Lois as her winner: --
'I've chosen Lois because her attitude seems me admirably broad-minded and all embracing. Let all men have an equal chance, I say. The more the merrier.'
Lois I have your address and I've passed it on to Lucy who'll send on your copy of her new Presents. Lucky thing!

I just love Facebook. Last week the lovely owners of the TEMPTATION bookstore in Perth found me and I was able to put a face to a name. If you want to be a friend, too, you'll find them here
SINGLES NIGHT IN SWANSEA LIBRARY...
Since Swansea is my nearest city, this item on the BBC website caught my eye.
"Jack was browsing the shelves of the Dylan Thomas section when he spotted her thumbing through Iris Gower's latest romantic offering.
"Captivated, he approached, slowly and slightly awkwardly. "A quick glance at her lapel and his heart skipped a beat as he saw what he was hoping for.
"A pink badge! The mysterious stranger was also there, in Swansea Central Library that Friday evening, for singles' night."
"An unlikely Mills and Boon-style scenario, you might think.
"But what was once the preserve of the nightclub before pubs, bingo halls and supermarkets got in on the act is now being tried out in Swansea.
"Once a month - from 1800 BST onwards - Friday night is singles' night at the city's main library. It is open for business as normal, with organisers stressing that it is just an optional extra and nothing more than a bit of fun. Read on...
The library's next singles night will be held on 9th May. Sadly I won't be able to pop along to see how it goes, but since I'm always being asked where I get my ideas from I thought you might like to the generation of this one!

Romance Junkies have given THE BRIDE'S BABY a 4.5 Blue Ribbon Review.
"THE BRIDE’S BABY is Liz Fielding’s fiftieth book and it’s a fun witty book full of misunderstandings and heart wrenching situations. Tom and Sylvie complement each other beautifully. She’s willing to accept whatever life throws at her. Tom’s extremely business oriented and he’s more inconvenienced then hurt by his fiance’s change of heart. I was so caught up in their myriad of misunderstandings and emotional turmoil that I wasn’t able to put this book down and stayed up way too late reading - and don’t regret a single moment of the lost shut eye."
