Party for Emmie Dark and her Cassie's Grand Plan!

Congratulations to Australian writer, a debut author Emmie Dark! Her debut book is being released this week! Woo Hoo! Emmie!

Let's find out about Emmie's debut, Cassie's grand Plan...







CASSIE'S GRAND PLAN


BACK BLURB

Four steps to a brand-new life

 Cassie Hartman knows what she needs to do to get her life under control. First, she’ll get herself promoted. Then she’ll update her appearance. Steps three and four—marriage and family—well, those will have to wait.



Then Ronan McGuire shows up. The too-sexy, too-polished business consultant has the power to derail Cassie’s plans before she’s even really started. If he doesn’t approve her promotion, she’ll be back to square one—and that’s not an option. Cassie needs to keep her focus on that first step, no matter how much Ronan tempts her to skip ahead to the third and fourth ones….

Wow! Sounds interesting? See what I felt here!

After years of writing press releases, employee newsletters and speeches for CEOs and politicians – none of which included any kind of kissing – Emmie Dark finally took to her laptop to write what she wanted to write. She was both amazed and delighted to discover that what came out was sexy, noble heroes who found themselves crossing paths with strong, determined heroines. And plenty of kissing.

Emmie’s overnight success has taken about five years to achieve. She began fiddling around with story ideas when the urge to write fiction became overwhelming. In July 2011 she sold her first book to Harlequin SuperRomance and she’s not looking back, with her second sale in September. Both books will be out in 2012.

Emmie lives in Melbourne, Australia, and she likes red lipstick, chardonnay, sunshine, driving fast, rose-scented soap and a really good cup of tea. Like, a really good cup of tea. She’s particularly fussy about it, and has been known to pack her own teabags when she travels. Most members of her family are too scared to make her a cuppa, in case they get it wrong.

    Hi Nas and Emmie,
    I'm one of the lucky ones, I've already read Cassie's Grand Plan and I LOVED it.
    I loved the developing romance between Cassie and Ronan, and how their troubled 'baggage' got in the way. That baggage, of course, kept turning up, piece by piece, rather than a whole lifetime's worth in one hit.

    And when things went wrong, oh how my heart ached to see them back together. Obviously, this being a Proper Romance, I knew they would - but it was the 'how' that put a huge smile on my face.

    That's why I love romances. Yes, the ending is a given, but how they get there is so entertaining.

    Thanks Emmie for a wonderful read.

    Lovely to come in here and see a Holi party going on. We're catching the Holi fire nicely in north India where I live. Emmie, I'd love to put some red colour on you to wish you lots of luck with your new book.

    Great idea to celebrate Holi and a book launch at the same time, Nas!
