Look Picture Today I thought I would post links to a few sites and articles I found on the web because well, I thought some of you might find it useful or interesting.

The Book Muse – I only recently found this site but I think it has lots of very useful information and articles.

This is Writers Digest. It’s a wonderful site and they have terrific articles. This one is on the very thing I hate most about writing – THE SYNOPSIS. My condition is terminal but this may save you.

This site – Women On Writing has some really great articles, information, courses and opportunities.

If you are a member of the Romance Writers of Australia and can’t go to the conference you can sign up for the Claytons Conference. I’ve never done this but I hear only wonderful things about it. I will be at the conference so if you will be too let me know I’d love to meet you.

I hope some of you find them interesting.

Mr Right and Other Mongrels

I was interviewed for Blog Bites on the Romance Australia site.

Blog Bites with Monique Mcdonell

Please stop by and take a look.

Not much else to tell you today. Busy doing my day job. Final edits on Hearts Afire and working on getting Mr Right and Other Mongrels ready to go out in other formats including as a paperback.

I did read a book last night. I read Wicked Business by Janet Evanovich. I didn’t love it. It’s the second in a series and I recall not loving the first either but what I love is the location.

The book is set in Salem, Marblehead, Lynn and Boston. I was an exchange student in that area in the 1980’s and have visited a few times since. It’s always fun to read about places you know.

I’m over at Romance Australia today
