Cooling down, tidying up


Cooling the dog 

Back from sunny south west Scotland, where it was so hot we had to picnic in the shade … and that’s not something you say often about the Colvend coast! I know we British are boringly obsessed with the weather, but it has been uncannily beautiful recently.  We are spending a lot of time basking in the sun and telling each other how unbelievable it is.



I’ve now got just over a week to tidy up a heart-sinking number of projects before I'm off again, this time walking in Turkey, so this is just a quickie to say that a copy of Ordinary Girl in a Tiara is on its way to Desere and Katarina – and Ros, if you’re reading this, email me your address (jessica@jessicahart.co.uk) and you can have one too.  I liked the sound of you all in your hats!  


Oh, and last minute news (everything is last minute at the moment with me): after grumbling (quite unjustifiably) that Oh-So-Sensible Secretary hadn’t done well in any contests, it has just been short-listed for a National Readers’ Choice Award in the Traditional category.  I’ve been lucky enough to win this for the past two years, so to hope for a third time just seems plain greedy, but OSSS is one of my favourite books, so I'm very happy to see it on a shortlist.

    Hi Jessica,

    Just wondering when I'll be able to get a copy of one of your books from your back catalogue.

    Indigo, you can find some back copies on the Mills & Boon website: www.millsandboon.co.uk. The best way is to keep an eye out for anthologies like Convenient Engagements, which HMB produce fairly regularly. Barefoot Bride, for instance, is out in an anthology in June - Paradise Nights - which I'll be blogging about next week (if I can get everything else done!) - email me your address and I'll put one in the post to you - I got 20 copies instead of the usual two!

    Indigo, I haven't had an email ... could you send again? Try jessicahart@ntlworld.com if jessica@jessicahart.co.uk doesn't work.

    Just wanted to say that I read OSSS over the weekend and loved the first person POV - very refreshing! So yes, fingers crossed for you.
