The Wall of Fame: Yolande Pienaar

Today, we have another addition to The New Voices Wall of Fame 2011!  Please welcome Yolande Pienaar who submitted a Contemporary Romance entry yesterday. Congrats, Yolande!


Check out her blurb:

Veterinarian Laura Westbrook landed herself the receptionist job at a luxury lodge, but writer Grant Smith seems determined to get her fired. Despite hating his methods, Laura finds herself fighting to protect her heart as well as her job.

Grant is a hero on a mission but he may have bitten off more than he can chew because Laura's more than a pretty face.  Find out who wins in this battle of the sexes at:His Vet's Choice (Contemporary Romance) by Yolande Pienaar

Happy writing!

I'm very excited to introduce our first Histroical New Voices entry.  A huge congratulations to Caroline Hartin (also known by fellow bloggers as Caroline Storer but shhh she's being sneaky ;-)  ).


Check out her awesome blurb:

Roman charioteer, Aulus Epidius Marsallas, had once loved Justina Philipus. But then she'd betrayed him. Now six years later the Fates have brought them together once more, and this time Marsallas wants revenge.

Get Your Lucky Underwear Ready

 A big thanks to MelRoXx for awarding my blog with a new badge!

 

Thanks Mel!

Over on Monique Devere's blog you can join a Writing Romance Question Forum. The line up of writers and editors include: Nicola Marsh, Natalie Anderson, Robyn Grady and Lucy King.

It’s time to get your lucky underwear ready ladies and gents!

The UK Mills & Boon Romance Is Not Dead New Voices competition is expected to open on the 6th of September 2010 with entries closing on the 22nd of September according to a comment left by Lucy Gilmour , Editor, Mills & Boon/Harlequin on The Good, The Bad and the Unread. I should point out here that the official website of the competition is not currently operational so take these dates with a pinch of salt as you would have expected the information to appear there first and you never know with the internet so don’t be too disappointed if these aren’t quite right. The Good,
The Bad and The Unread  originally announced that September first is the opening date, so I think we’re pretty safe with September.

This is an X-factor style search for new talent with a judging panel and public votes across three stages, eliminating what I would expect to be hundreds of entries to just ten, then top four and finally to rank the top three. Full details and prizes as they are currently known can be found here.

I’m lurking/ stalking other bloggers where I’m expecting information to pop up (because they told me it would and darn it, if it doesn’t, I’ll sit on them) but if you find anything new please give me a shout.

If you’re unable to enter it should still be a load of fun to be able to read all the entries and try to tip the winner. So, what are you doing in September? Do you think you’ll be entering the competition? And if you are, which UK line would you target?
