		<description><![CDATA[Dear readers, I have an extract of Untamed for you! I&#8217;m reading it aloud, and let&#8217;s just say I realise I&#8217;ll never be head-hunted as a voice actor. However, it is one of my favourite parts of the whole book: the scene where Kit and Darlington first meet, and are both surprised out of themselves [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had the great fortune of winning the Valerie Parv Award in 2010, and this year I was finally able to give a bit back by judging contest entries. I wasn’t expecting to learn so much about writing in a short period of time, just by reading three very different synopses and excerpts. It’s always easier [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a little confusing, because Untamed has actually been buy-able to buy for a couple of days now, but today it is officially a book! (The staggered availability has to do with global online vendors and availability.) So far the reactions have been somewhere on the extremes of love and hate, with the occasional thoughtful in-between. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been visiting my family in Canberra, which is beautiful this time of year. And what a weak word beautiful seems to describe how the odd, purpose-built, overlooked capital of Australia embodies autumn. How still and quiet it is, except for those screaming cockatoos, and how blue the sky looks against the fire-and-plum-pudding leaves. Well [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s nothing quite like seeing the single, fixed version of your book that will be going out into the world, creating certain feelings and expectations in readers before they even read the first word.

When my heroine was no longer called Beatrice, and she most definitely didn&#8217;t fall in love three times, it changed to My Lady Untamed. For various reasons it has now [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All those posts about romance and feminism last week kicked off some huge discussions on twitter. Where those discussions more or less ended up: It’s kind of irrelevant whether romance is feminist or not – I love reading it. This gave me Thoughts. As I said last week, my stance is that romance isn’t obliged [...]]]></description>

The house is old, the glass is old, and I&#8217;m looking out over my favourite kind of countryside: a bit desolate, low and scrubby, its few trees like fists raised at the sky. The sky, of course, is full of [...]]]></description>

The awkward &#8220;woooaaaaaaah&#8221; noise they both make on the log when Patrick Swayze almost loses his balance! (Okay, that last one wouldn&#8217;t make a great gif, but it&#8217;s one of the moments [...]]]></description>

You realise there has been a second narrative running under the first the whole time, and while you haven’t consciously been reading it, part of your brain has been picking up the cues, so that when that [...]]]></description>
