My redesigned Burn Bright website is soon to be unveiled. Not only is the design perfect (Austin Designworks yet again) but I’ve got an amazing team of talented writers helping me out on it, to whom I am very grateful.

Bec Stafford is my site manager and manages all the editing and helps me choose direction and ideas. She also blogs and reviews and does the Big 4 Interview series.

Then comes Belinda Hamilton whose funny, fresh quirky view on life provides me with endless entertainment. Bec and I look forward to her column (By the Bel) every week.

To support that, are talented writers Jamie Marriage and Amy Parker, and soon to come on board Max Smith and Cecilia Jansink. We are looking for quality and variety in our reviewers, so that you get fair coverage .

This week Belinda has written a blog entitled Ten Tips For dating Zombies which begins a series. So if you have teen relatives or friends, or you are young at heart then pass it on. It is SO much damn fun that I had to link to it from here.

Well, my agent likes the sample but wants me to make it a bit longer. So, no sooner have I relinquished Peacemaker than it’s back in my hot little hands. I’m kinda glad to have it to play with a bit longer. Another ten thousand words at least. I’ll be writing it on the weekends while I work on Burn Bright 2 during the week. I love to be writing busy!

So the Writing the Novel series could get kinda complex from here on in. Are you happy to hear about me writing two novels at once?

Plenty of juicies coming up on MDP-Web.

Over at Burn Bright stay tuned for a five book giveaway. Plus there’s the current Yunyu concert tickets going off right now. Lots of reviews happening and more Big 4 interviews on the way. Topped off with a couple of special in-depth interviews with DM Cornish and Alison Croggan.

The wonderful, talented Queen of Dark Fantasy Anne Bishop will be Special Guest blogging here soon, as will one of my favourite urban fantasy writers, Diana Pharoah Francis. And not to be too female-centric, voice actor, entrepreneur and all around frigging genius Spike Spencer will be an upcoming Super Creative.

Marianne Delacourt site has been a little quiet due to me waiting to hear when the next books (3 & 4) are a -go-go. It does however have new details of my November/December signing tour of Brisbane and the news of the Scarlett Stilletos award night in Melbourne.
