Happy New Year
Carol MarinelliNew Years Eve is my favourite day/night of the year. I always have a little cry at Auld Lang Syne and I make an awful lot of lists and plans and....
Anyway, I have made most of my lists and they read pretty much the same as they always do - lose weight, exercise more, get up early and write ten million words before I finish my first cup of coffee - correction, ten million, painless words - I set myself up to fall every year, but I love the hope that if I really focus, if I really keep to my plans, then this calm, organised, toned person will emerge and my editor will fall of her seat as my books arrive, not just on time, but early!!!! Hmmm - still, some things on my list last year did come true, like going to NY and getting my book, now called, Putting Alice Back Together, accepted - it is due out in March and I can't wait to hold the finished book and see it for the first time.
Do you have any New Year Resolutions or wishes?
I've just thought of a couple more so am going to get back to mine - I'm adding GO TO OFFICE EVERY WEEK DAY! Right now I am listening to Do The Work by Steven Pressfield. It's an audible book and I am finding it a really good motivator. I love his work and would love to hear him speak in person one day - maybe I should add that to my wish list :-)
I hope you have a lovely New Year and I look forward to chatting with you in 2012. I'm attaching my all time favourite New Year clip - from my all time favourite film... makes me laugh and cry every time
Love to all

Carol, our wedding anniversary is on New Year's Eve. Not a great choice as it has meant that we couldn't ever get babysitters. No one wants to babysit NY eve. But having an anniversary then does add another aspect of my life to reassess and make reolutions about. I'm once again on the diet/exercise thing.
Daughter being married is a big incentive. I need to be at my goal weight by April.
Ouch. Just admitting that feels scary. Good luck with your plans! Love the sound of your office.
Barbara, good luck with the diet ;-)
I think NYE would be a fantastic wedding anniversary to have (though can see about the babysitters), but so romantic :-)

hi, Carol, how are you?

to tell you the truth, harlequin novels is something new for me, i start reading it about a few months ago, when my best friend borrowed me her Harlequin collection, to help me increasing my inspiration to finish a story that i have been wrote for some times.
so far my favorite is Diana Palmer, and i start to read another Harlequin author, which is bring me to one of your novel.
i read your novel(which have been translate to Indonesia) twice in the pass 12 hours, because i'm so in love with the story line, the plot, the conflict, and most of all with the dialogue.
i just want to tell you that 'Billionaire Doctor, Ordinary Nurse' is so beautiful and lovely novel, i think i have to start looking for your other novels to complete my collection.
thank you for the lovely story
Happy New Year (even its a bit late)
wish you all the best, may God always bless you with health, happiness and prosperity.

Hi Chu,
I am a bit behind too :-)
Thank you so much for saying such nice things about Billionaire Doctor, Ordinary Nurse - that is one of my favourites of the series - I loved Iosef :-)
Good luck with your writing and have fun with your reading - there are so many wonderful authors in Harlequin - you're in for a treat reading their books.
Lots of love
