Thanks to everyone who voted for me in the Shorty Awards. Have ended up about 58th of 1286 nominees, so thought that was pretty cool. It’s some kind of validation that I’m tweeting content that’s useful and interesting to t y’all. Not just boring you senseless!

The exciting news for the week though is that Sharp Turn, my crime novel written under the pseudonym, Marianne Delacourt, is Book of the Month on the Foxtel Channel, 13th Street Universal. Bestselling crime author Tara Moss recommends and reviews the novel.

My latest Marianne Delacourt cover is a beauty!

Today there is a very amusing guest blog up at my Burn Bright YA site by Belinda Hamilton, entitled When Cool Loses its Cool. Meanwhile, over at the Marianne Delacourt site you can grab some Tara Sharp wallpaper or badges for your blog.

Here, things are quiet on the surface but underneath this calm exterior I’m plotting my next MDP adult project. What will it be? Though I’m still nursing a hankering for my cowpunk series, it will have to wait until someone loves the idea as much as me. Soooo… I’m thinking strip clubs, demons and a protagonist that can use her voice as a weapon.
