Over on my personal blog I’ve been celebrating reasons to Be Cheerful. One of these was the wonderful review that my most recent book – Kept For Her Baby received here on We Write Romance. I was truly thrilled and honoured to read it and know that the reviewer enjoyed it so much. Thank you Casey – that was very definitely one of my reasons to be cheerful this week.
And here’s another one – that’s also linked to the We Write Romance site. And this blog.
I’ve been chatting with Heather and she asked if I would like to consider having a regular guest blog here on We Write Romance. Well, I jumped at the chance. I’ve been connected with WWR for some time – and of course Heather is responsible for the fabulous design and upkeep of my web site – but I’ve only blogged a few times because life – and writing other books – tends to get in the way. And I think that’s a pity as I love WWR , it’s a great site – and my books have had some wonderful reviews here. I wanted more of a chance to chat with you the readers here on this site. So we’ve decided to remedy that.
And what’s going to happen is that I’m going to have a special ‘official’ day when I come over here and guest blog. Every month, on the 15th of the month, there will be my special Kate’s Corner blog here. I’m hoping we can chat about anything an everything to do with romance books and romance writing. Heather suggested that I talk to you about writing and maybe give you some hints and tips – because you know that my 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance is out there and helping lots of people with their writing. Or maybe you’d like to discuss the Presents line which is the one I write for – I know some readers are confused by what makes the difference between a Presents and a Presents Extra for example. (Answer – there isn’t a difference. The Extras are just that – Extra Presents novels in the middle of the month and I should know. Kept For Her Baby is out as a Presents Extra right now. The slightly different books that appear are originally bought as Modern Heat not the Modern Romances here in the UK – but they come out in the main Presents line-up, not as Extras.)
Well, those are just a few suggestions – but now I’m here to tell you about Kate’s Corner which is going to start with the very first blog here on November 15th. And I’d love to know what you’d like me to blog about.
So I’m looking for suggestions, questions and ideas. Please – if you have anything you want me to chat about, anything you’d like me to help you with on the writing front – or anything you’d like to know more about, please let me know and I’ll do my very best to cover it in one or other of my blogs. And hopefully you’ll find my posts interesting and keep coming back for more.
So let me know what you’d like me to write about – and come back here on November 15th when I’ll be launching the first of (I hope) many posts to come with the very first, inaugural Kate’s Corner guest blog.
See you then!
Kate

I’m so excited Kate! I can’t wait.
One thing I’d love to see covered is what people will get from your 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance. How did you get all the authors to share their secrets!?! :-)
Personally, I’d love to know a little about what kind of books you read.
Kate,
I’ve had an email request for you to talk about your cat…I was told you’d know which one. :-)
Heather R.
I’d like to see more about the process you go through to get published. Does it change once you are published?
Any input on the covers? I’m thinking there needs to be more variety in some of them. They don’t always have to be the man and woman (who often doesn’t look like the characters in the book!) engaged in a smooch. There could be sexy, romantic scenes that leave some to your imagination. What I’m trying to say is I’d like to know how this is done and how you feel about it as an author whose name is on the cover.
Very exciting. I love the behind the book story.
