Kelly Hunter - romance author

No news is good news, yes? When an author has no news it usually means she's neck deep in a book. That's me, up to my ears in it and hoping the end is near. It's near. Trust me.

I'm still thrilled to announce that Sleeping Partner is a finalist in the Contemporary Series Romance section of Romance Writers of America's RITA competition. It's a little hard to get hold of at the moment, particularly if you're a North American reader but I'm ever hopeful it will reach US shores eventually. Meanwhile, why not head on over to Brenda Novak's Online Diabetes Auction and put a bid on a Kelly Hunter Aussie Gift Pack (you'll find one in there), or head on over there and put a bid on anything else for that matter. There are so many marvelous items up for grabs, some of them tailored to aspiring romance writers, some designed to delight readers, and some put there purely to pamper. Go take a look. GO!

Taken By The Bad Boy is available on Australian shelves from Mid May. This is another Bennett Brothers story, featuring pilot Pete Bennett, little Greek islands, a goddess divine, a first kiss as it ought to be remembered, anticipation, frustration, seduction, expectations, and an unstoppable tumble into love. We're not talking anguish and heartache here. This one's purely for fun.
