Don't forget to pop over to the Romance Reviews and join in the fabulous Year End Splash (YES) party! Today there's a copy of Forbidden up for grabs. All you have to do to enter the contest is answer a simple question - the answer can be found on my website the world of Forbidden (that was an extra clue right there!!)

Good luck!

YES! Party on Now!

On Saturday night I logged into Twitter so I could follow the award ceremony for the Romance Writers of Australia's 20th conference. And nearly fell off my chair when I saw that the cover of Captive tied for first place in the Historical Section along with my lovely writing friend Tamara Gill's A Captain's Order, A Duke's Command! Thank you to everyone who voted :-)



Stunning covers!! The full line up of finalists can be found here and details of the winners of the RWA 2011 Awards Night can be found here along with a couple of pics.

Do you have any burning questions you'd like to ask me? The Mystic Castle is holding a great contest where you could win a signed copy of FORBIDDEN - here's the scoop from their webpage:

"Here is how this newsletter works. Three weeks before the release date we will open a Take Five post on our website where we invite you to ask the author a question. The period to ask questions will be limited to two weeks only.

The FIVE best questions will be selected and answered in our newsletter by the author. In addition those five people who asked the question will be entered into a draw, where you have a 1 in 5 chance of winning a signed book by the author. The other four people will receive a small prize as well (bookmark, signed cover flat etc). Winners will be announced in the newsletter."

My two weeks for taking questions runs from 9th to 23rd August. It's up and running now and I would love to see you over there!!!

2010 Romancing The West Conference

I'm very excited to share that recently a group of authors have got together to start up a Yahoo group specifically for romance readers - called Romance Bookmark. The launch day is Monday14th September, but it's open now! Click on the link or there's a button on the sidebar that takes you right there.

So far the author moderators are Shelley Munro, Tessa Radley, Christina Phillips, Tawny Weber, Leah Braemel and Beth Andrews. Every so often we'll be holding contests to win print books and e-books and who knows what else!

Now, this isn't a promo loop, so there aren't going to be heaps of blurbs and excerpts. It's for readers and authors to discuss what you're reading now, books you love or don't and to generally chat in a friendly atmosphere.

So if you'd like to join the fun, please do! We'd love to see you over there!

Romance Bookmark

For the month of May, I'm helping my good friend the lovely Shelley Munro to host Coffee Write over at the CTR forums and I hope you can all stop by and join in the fun!!!

We've gone for a Paranormal Space Opera theme, and the title is Red Wolverton Howling (why does this make me think of Hugh Jackman...? *ponders*!!)

This is how it works. Shelley's posted an introduction, which sets up the story world and major characters, and the first paragraphs. Anyone can now post their own paragraphs continuing the story in any way they fancy - keeping in mind the basic intro!! You can post as often as you like during the month of May, but only once per day. This series runs from 1st May to 27th May.

There's a chat going on here!!

Prizes!!!

Winner can choose 1 x download from Shelley Munro’s backlist plus they get downloads of Christina’s two Wild Rose Press releases, Foretaste of Forever and Touch of the Demon. Also, a second prize winner can choose 1 x download from Shelley's backlist.

Love to see you over there!!!

Red Wolverton Howling! Paranormal Space Opera!!!

I've had two reviews this week for Touch of the Demon which really brightened my day! The first is from Night Owl Romance where Dianna had this to say:

Touch of the Demon is an extremely spicy novella. Short in length but full to the brim with enough hot and spicy passion to make you want your fan running on high while you are reading it. Christina Phillips has done a spectacular job of making her world come alive for the reader. Touch of the Demon will defiantly keep you guessing, and honestly you would think “people” would learn not to mess with affairs of the heart, wouldn’t you?

The full review can be found here, but be warned! It's a very hot and spicy review!!!

The second review is from fellow The Wild Rose Press author Helen Hardt:

Do you love a dark and sexy hero? An imaginative paranormal setting? Sizzling sexual tension coupled with passionate emotion? Touch of the Demon offers all this and more. The refreshingly unique story of Rafe and Celeste explores the timeless theme of a love so fierce and unending, it overpowers all other loyalties. Christina Phillips’s elegant voice and masterful use of imagery will leave you breathless. Don’t miss this one!

Thank you Helen!

And while I think of it, does anyone understand the vaguries of Google Alerts? I get heaps of alerts but half of them are for old links on the web which I've been sent before. But I only found the NOR review by googling myself (this of course has given me a great excuse to continue with my obsessive self googly habits!!!)
