Welcome to issue #2 of Blush!

Updated: May 19, 2019

Why hello there – welcome to the second edition of Blush! I am an unashamed, unrepentant romance novel addict and I suspect you may be too, which means I’m in good company.

A month sure does spin around fast, and here we are with the second issue of Blush. In between putting together these pages I have a “real” job as well as wrangling a husband and two little ones, which means shit sometimes falls through the cracks.

But if my six-year old going to school in her uniform on a casual clothes day is the worst that happens, I think I’m okay. And at least now I can classify time spent reading as “work”, right?

So, this month I discovered the Read Me Romance podcast, hosted by the writing duo behind Alexa Riley, Melissa and Lea, and Tessa Bailey. The chore of ironing just got a whole lot more fun with this to listen to!

I also attended the Australian Romance Readers Association awards evening in Sydney, and met so. many. goddamn. amazing authors. Soooo many. And seriously, how freakin’ amazing is the romance community? Definitely feeling the love, and I hope you enjoy this issue.
