I had a wonderful, if exhausting, day at the Romantic Novelists\u2019 Association\u2019s summer party. I travelled down with writing friends, Elizabeth Hanbury, Phillipa Ashley and Nell Dixon. We had a party on the train, much to the bemusement of the other passengers. Elizabeth produced all the makings of a lethally strong Pimms cocktail, complete with stirring sticks and fruit kebabs \u2013 never knowingly unprepared is our Liz. The RNA party itself was great. It\u2019s only the second time I\u2019ve been and this time I felt a little more comfortable, as I knew one or two people more.<\/p>\n<p>I also organised a weekend in my beloved Lyme Regis, doing Jane Austen-y things and fossil hunting. I came away with an idea for a story &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The rest of my time is spent walking the dogs and trying to put order into the garden. I\u2019ve discovered having dogs and trying to garden are mutually exclusive things. Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also discovered Susanna Kearsley, who writes time-slip, mystery romances. She reminds me so much of Mary Stewart, who I love. It\u2019s great to find a new writer who sends you to bed early, just so you can read the next chapter or five.<\/p>\n<p>Have you discovered any new writers lately?
