Byrne & Fiona in Estonia

My book In the Heart of the Outback has been translated into Estonian!

I found it accidentally while cruising the web. How exciting. My book is No. #001, so maybe it's a first for the line! This brings the total number of languages my books have been translated into to 23! At least that's the number I've counted, so far.

I still get a buzz from thinking of anyone else reading my stories. I suppose it's an ego thing, but it's built into the reason we write -- to bring pleasure to others. And it's fantastic to know that those others are living in so many different countries in all kinds of flung flung parts with different languages and cultures and possibly no real idea of Australia.




I must confess, I had to do a Google search to find out exactly where Estonia is and there it is, just across the gulf from Finland and tucked in between Russia and Latvia. Even if I sell four and a half copies, it's fun to think about.

They have rather a flash website for books here.

Competition news

The winner of my March comp was Carol Thompson of South Africa.

A copy of Seduced by the Playboy, including my award winning book, Her Playboy Challenge, will be posted to Carol as soon as the Easter Holiday is over. (In Australia we have holidays for Good Friday and Easter Monday.)


And now for a new competition. In honour of my RITA nomination for Claiming His Family, I am giving away a signed copy of that book. You can enter the comp by sending me an email with Family comp as the subject. Good luck!

Oh and in other news, my book, In The Heart Of The Outback goes on sale tomorrow! I've put a new exceprt on my website, if you'd like to check it out.
