The Sheikh’s Beloved - New sheikh romance on its way!

I am very excited about publishing my latest sheikh romance, The Sheikh’s Beloved! The manuscript is currently with an editor (the amazing Faith Williams at The Atwater Group), but as soon as it’s back and I’ve made the necessary changes (I hope there aren’t too many), I plan to publish the story.

At the moment I’m a bit addicted to writing about dark, sexy strangers from the Middle East coming up against strong-willed English woman. As in any good romance, they battle out their differences until they finally manage to get their happily-ever-after ending. However, being a sheikh romance, they also have to overcome huge cultural problems!

The initial idea for this particular sheikh romance, The Sheikh's Beloved, was based on the massive volcanic eruption that happened in Iceland in 2010, which resulted in flights being cancelled across Europe, including all flights into London. On the news at the time there were several stories about passengers who were stuck in transit in the Middle East and this led to me thinking about what would happen if one of the travellers was an attractive single woman and what would she do if she was offered hospitality by a rich, handsome sheikh?

The heroine in this romance has strawberry blonde hair and would look a bit like Scarlett Johansson in the picture above, while the sheikh, Sheikh Najid, is kind of cute and sexy, a bit like Karl Urban in this photo.

A whole new online addiction: Pinterest!

I’ve recently developed a whole new online addiction: Pinterest!

I first joined several months ago and created a couple of groups of pictures (boards) based on my first two romance novels, The Royal Sheikh and Her Latin Lover. I also created a miscellaneous group of pictures that I just generally liked the look of. Having done that, I promptly forgot all about the web site!
