My three proudest achievements of 2022:

1. LIBBY LAWRENCE IS GOOD AT PRETENDING. This book came out with Wakefield Press in May, and it's the book of my heart. I wrote the first draft when I was 20 and have rewritten it from the ground up four times. It means the world to me that Libby has finally found her way into the hands of readers.

2. HERE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. Published by Simon & Schuster in July, this book was a game-changer for me. It's my adult debut, and it's kicked off a whole new chapter in my authorial career. The sequel, CAN I STEAL YOU FOR A SECOND?, will be out in April 2023!

3. The spectacular grey streak that I've been cultivating by maintaining a writing career while also being a full-time academic. I've always gravitated towards dramatic hair. 😉

Just a sneaky reminder for the romance scholar types that the IASPR CFP for the June 2023 conference closes on 31 December! It's an open theme, so we're interested in absolutely any romance-related pieces you've got cooking.

It also isn't restricted to romance novels! Talk to us about romance in any popular media you like.

It's December now, so here's a little article I wrote for The Conversation last year about the ever-growing industry of Christmas rom-coms. https://theconversation.com/from-love-actually-to-christmas-on-the-farm-how-rom-coms-became-a-festive-season-staple-171819
From Love Actually to Christmas On The Farm: how rom-coms became a festive season staple

Festive romance, miracles and a happy ever after: the tropes of Christmas rom-com films (and why we love them).
