Happy Valentine’s Day!
Hope you all have a wonderful day filled with love.
One of my most favourite things to do is to watch a romantic movie. I was lucky enough to speak to the awesome Scott Hocking at STACK.

Travelling and Inspiration
Travelling through Greece, Italy, southern France and Spain was a unforgettable experience. There are many places I promise to revisit to soak up the history and culture, and enjoy festivities and food offered at certain times of the year. Since returning home I have continued to enjoy mojitos and sangria cocktails in our Australian summer.
Extraordinary architecture, including some beautiful churches is something I loved to explore. Gaudi’s work is just jaw-dropping and mesmerising to see. I have noted 2026 as the year to return to Barcelona and witness the completion of the cathedral.
Then on the other hand the Greek island Santorini’s vast white against sapphire oceans is a breath taking view I think we should all see in our life.
The Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terra are top of my list and once you see the photos you’ll understand why. Postcard picturesque landscape at every turn. Just tell yourself the eternal number of steps you climb to get anywhere is great for toning your legs.
After experiencing the Amalfi Coast I have planned Zane’s story from Charming the Outback, to be set along this rugged but beautiful coastline. First I have three books to complete. The good news Playing the Game is almost finished.
Now Bowie and I are planning our next adventure, and I can’t wait to discover another part of our wonderful world.

Author Life
Sitting for many hours on my rear is not ideal for many health reasons. Since I began my writing journey I have slowly gained weight and my fitness deteriorated. My fault entirely for not taking the time out to exercise so this year I made some changes. My upcoming European holiday has somewhat motivated me to walk regularly, and change my eating habits. (I need to fit into those jumpsuits!) I have lost some weight but I feel incredibly better, especially after a long walk along the coastline south of Adelaide. I walk a trail along the boardwalk, a rugged part of the shoreline, with many, many steps. All good training for Europe. What makes this part of the coast special is a few kilometres further on the cliffs disappear and you have white sandy beaches. It’s my piece of heaven where many books come to plan in my mind.
Europe will also be a valuable source of planning for future books. I promise I will post many pictures, especially of the Amalfi Coast in Italy. For those of you who have read Charming the Outback, and requested Zane’s story, this is where part of the story will be set.
Over the next few months I intend to rewrite my contemporary cricket romance Caught Out, and hopefully have some good news on the release date, and of course the prequel, Jardine.
Ulara, (the book I wrote while Shauni spent months in hospital and the reason I decided to become an author) will be another rewrite. I need to get my ‘special’ baby out in the world. Especially since it’s set in South America. I think it would be perfect to release around the Rio Olympic Games.
I apologise for not blogging as often as I should but I promise I will do so in the future, whether it be books or health matters, fashion, or anything that brings happiness. And of course I will share my wonderful holiday pictures.
Below are some images of where I walk.
Do whatever you need to stay happy everyone.
Love and kisses,
Leesa

New release: Leather and Lace Part 1 by J.A. Fredericks
I’m so excited for JA’s hot new release in the MC series, Leather and Lace Part 1. This book has everything!
You can buy it at Amazon US and Amazon UK
Here is the Book Trailer
The day Harley Sonnick is released from a three year prison sentence for a crime she didn’t willingly commit, she returns to the only family she has left—the Inferno Glory MC. But the club’s president isn’t ready to forgive her for past sins and turns her away, forcing her to trust in a new club member who’s arguably the sexiest man she’s ever laid eyes on.
Colt Sawyer, a young military veteran like the other MC members, is elusive and doesn’t have much to do with the women throwing themselves at him until Harley comes riding into his life on her own motorcycle. Together with his best friend and fellow MC member Ranger, Colt will do everything in his power to remind Harley what it’s like to be pleasured by a man and make her feel at home despite the reluctance of the MC.
Things take an unexpected turn when Harley’s worldly possessions are ripped away, forcing her to rethink her future. But she isn’t a pathetic princess in need of saving and is reluctant to accept help. Prison made her hard, forcing her to guard her feelings at all costs. So when blue eyed Colt does inexplicable things to both her body and heart, she’s forced down a dark path of passion and desire that threatens all the safeguards she’s set in place.

ARRA Finalist and Good News
Early January I was notified I made the list for the Australian Romance Readers Association (ARRA) as a finalist in the Favourite New Author category for 2104.
And I am over the moon.
2014 was a big year for me as a debut author with Winning the Player releasing in April, Charming the Outback in September, and Jardine in December, featuring in the Love Addiction anthology.
Being part of the Love Addiction anthology was such a good experience along side seven other USA authors. (I am the only Aussie).
Jardine is my first novella and prequel to Caught Out. I have now finished writing Caught Out and hopefully will share more good news soon on a release date.
