Escape Publishing launch author Rhian Cahill talks about her latest book, Christmas Wishes.
Last month, I had the privilege of sitting down for a chat with Escape Publishing’s launch authors, and they agreed to let me post a short vodcast of them talking about their books an answering that most important question of all: Do you kill fairies?
This vodcast is with Rhian Cahill, author of Christmas Wishes and New Year’s Kisses. Cahill is best known as an erotic romance and romantic erotica author, so these more mainstream novellas are somewhat of a departure from her usual style.

Christine is a woman of many talents—it didn’t make it to the final cut, but she revealed that she plays ‘the devil’s instrument’.

Earlier today, one of my favourite historical romance authors, Julia Quinn, hung out with members of the Australian Romance Readers Association via Google Play. I was lucky enough to participate in the conversation, and you can watch the broadcast below.
And if for some reason you can’t watch the video, let me summarise the two most important pieces of information you need to know:
1. The Bridgerton epilogues will be rereleased later this year as a compilation, first as an ebook and then in print.
2. If you want to see Julia Quinn in Australia, you need to lobby HarperCollins: Facebook | Twitter
If you can’t view the embedded video, click here to watch the video directly on YouTube.
Thanks so much to ARRA, Julia Quinn and Louise Sherwin-Stark from Google, who hosted the hangout!

I first met Melbourne-based author Carol Marinelli, best known for her category romances (Medical and Sexy), at ARRC09. Her 2011 sheikh romance, Heart Of The Desert, joined my keeper list this year—I was so amazed at how good this story was.
Carol’s latest book, released last month, is a departure from her usual work. Putting Alice Back Together is her debut novel under Harlequin’s MIRA imprint, and it tackles issues such as depression, substance abuse, dysfunctional relationships and debt. It’s a story of self-acceptance as Alice ‘comes to the harsh realisation that there’s only so much sex, valium and red wine can fix.’

Mills and Boon author Kelly Hunter was a finalist in the 2011 RITA Awards for her Sexy release, Red-Hot Renegade, which features something not often seen in mainstream romance novels—an Asian heroine. I haven’t read this book yet (it’s on my list of books to read!) but based on Kate’s review I think I need to get to it soon.
Kelly’s latest Australian release was The Man She Loves to Hate (Sexy, 2-in-1). Her latest North American release was With This Fling (Presents), and her latest UK release was Taken By The Bad Boy (Paradise Nights anthology).
