Snapshot from the Writing Desk

 

Snapshot from the writing desk. Yes, there is a giant Toblerone on the right. Because chocolate is made from cocoa beans, which are a vegetable, and I like to eat healthy. 

Writing Update

I'm continuing to edit/revise the draft of ALLEGIANCE OF HONOR. Interestingly enough, many of the elements / couples you all want to see have been part of the book from the very start, some in ways you might not expect.

But as you can guess, not everything/everyone will make it into this book. Still, overall, I'm very happy with how many people we get to see! I hope you will be too!!

Now back to it I go! Fortified by the groceries I picked up this morning. :D

Brisbane & Chocolate

Amazing event at Ipswich Library tonight. Thanks to everyone who came and asked such great questions. A special thanks to the awesome staff and booksellers! :-)

My next event for the Brisbane Writers Festval is a Worldbuilding workshop on Friday (which I believe is sold out), but I also have two panels on Sunday, so grab a ticket if you're in Brisbane and come join us!

See the photo above? It's because my Brisbane hotel is next to a CHOCOLATE CAFE & SHOP. Yes, all kinds of chocolate. And macarons. Looking at this photo, you might think I've been very restrained by only buying two (raspberry and chocolate), but you see, I plan to taste test two every few hours. Have to go through all the flavors (including peanut butter!).

I've just sipped the hot chocolate. It's so thick it's like drinking melted chocolate. Nobody contact me - I will be in a chocolate coma for the foreseeable future.

Long Weekend!

The long weekend is here and I'm going to take a bit of time off to catch up on some reading, chocolate egg eating and assorted other fun activities. As a result, the blog will be on hiatus for a few days. Have a great Easter break everyone and see you on Tuesday!

(p.s. I am scheduled to blog at Between The Covers today. That post will be going up in about ten hours time if any of you want to swing by.)

Indulgence

See that can on the left? It's hot chocolate mix. But guess what you see when you open the lid? Curls of real chocolate. That's right, the can is full of luscious curls of dark chocolate that melt to make the most velvety, mouthwatering delicious...mmmmmm

I could say the devil made me buy it but it was all me. I went. I searched. I bought. Then I drank. And licked my lips.

So, that's me (and strangely, I feel no guilt...must be magic chocolate *g*). Now you - what's the most indulgent thing you've done lately?
