The Last Woman He'd Ever Date winners...

Thanks for dropping by everyone. Loved all your airport scenes - interesting that they were all in hot places!

Sheryl, Diane, Ruchita - if you'll email me your snail mail addy's I'll get copies of the book in the post. Vince I have your address and it's already on its way.

I'm eager to see the US cover for this release - July, I think - and how different the new Riva cover will be when the book is finally released in the UK sometime in the late autumn.

Moving on...

We've had the equinox - the days are now as long as the nights which is brilliant. I love getting up in daylight - it puts, well, a spring in my step. There are swathes of daffodils all along the road into town, too.

The hellebores are in full flower in the garden, and yesterday I spotted a bud on one of the plants I grew from seed a year or two ago. Exciting to see what that looks like.

Meanwhile, following the fun I had with Tempted By Trouble, I'm working on Book 2 in the ice cream saga - Sorrel's story.

My hero, Alexander Laing, remains something of a mystery, but I'm getting there. Here's an idea of what I have in mind.

Weirdly, Sorrel is not impressed. Give her time!
