It's another New Year's Eve and it is as much a time of reflection, as one of excitement and looking forward. Only this year, it's a chance to look back over a decade and welcome another. A whole new set of pages!As 2009 clicked over to 2010, I was still dreaming of becoming a published author and had just embarked on a road of discovery that took me to wonderful places, like Tuscany, and brought me many friendships. In January 2014 my dream came true when I got 'the call' from Mills and Boon and later that year, my first book, A Deal Before the Altar, was in my hands and on the shelves!I'm taking the opportunity now to remind myself of that dream as 2019 has been a challenging year on many fronts, which forced my creativity into hiding and gave me limited time to do the one thing I love doing - writing.However, I am not prepared to let go of my dream. I love writing and still have many characters and their stories, either scribbled down in notebooks or racing through my mind, and my latest book, A Shocking Proposal in Sicily, is out in all formats in January 2020.So, whatever your dreams are for the next decade, big or small, I wish you every happiness and success as you reach for them!COMPETITION!Leave a comment, sharing your dreams for the next decade, to be in with a chance to win copies of A Shocking Proposal in Sicily and tell me your preference for either the US or UK cover.Happy New YearRachaelxx
