Well I am feeling a little bit bleary this morning and there seems to be ketchup on my keyboard from the after-party sausage sandwich I had when I got home, but I am bravely hauling myself onto the world wide web in order to announce my very cool announcement, which is this:
Fellow Modern Heat author Kate Hardy has also been shortlisted, as have Romance writers Fiona Harper (twice!), Liz Fielding, and Lucy Gordon. It’s such an honour to be on the list with friends and wonderful writers. You can see the whole list here.
Serendipitously, Driving Him Wild is released next month in North America, under the title of His for the Taking. It’s available on eHarlequin both as a print book and as an ebook.
And the launch went wonderfully. I’ll blog about it properly when I’ve got my head on straight but meanwhile here is a photo of me doing a reading from One Night Stand.
Julie says:
Congrats, Julie! I’m pleased the book launch went well.
Biddy says:
YAY!! How cool is that! Well done you!
(and I’m glad the pic came out ok)
India Grey says:
BIG CONGRATULATIONS!! Hope you’ll be doing something suitably celebratory tonight!

You know, my parents thought the same thing when I rang them to say I had good news. “You’re pregnant?!!?”

Congratulations, Julie!

Hi Miss Cohen,
I am enjoying your blog and hope you’re well. Also struggling through an English degree….and often wish I had a teacher like you to help me — I just re-read my Atonement coursework (planning to do a dissertation on that, amongst others, for my final year) and i swear it’s better than anything i write now, in a university where you are left to fend for yourself by hapless tutors! Ok it’s not that bad.
Anyway I am slowly working towards a career in writing I would like to think (well, journalism) and i am actually writing to ask you (in my typically verbose manner) how I can make my blog more ’searchable’ as it were? I notice yours comes up on Google and stuff, and I want random people to read mine and comment, as I think it would be really helpful for critiquing my work and stuff? Useful for when I have interviews for work experience and they ask about my writing.
Don’t worry about dolling out advice if you’re too busy writing/mothering.
Lots of love Pandora
