Ahoy, shipmates and lovers of books...
Read on for some exciting news and 2025 dates for your diaries...
I was looking at my diary for 2025 with a sense of despondency as I had no exciting trips to look forward.
Out of the blue, I received an invitation to be one of the guest authors aboard the Celebrity Reflection for the HISTORICALS ON THE HIGH SEAS reader convention in June.
OK… I live in Australia and the cruise departs from Fort Lauderdale in Florida and it’s a long way to travel! BUT I love cruises, I’m a huge fan girl of a couple of the other guest authors and as the Historical Novel Society of North America conference is in Las Vegas the following week, I have bitten the bullet and decided to attend both events.
What a fabulous opportunity to meet up with some of my American readers - (particularly as I will be signing books at both events) and just look at who will be my shipmates! There will be talks and workshops, dinners and tours… It is going to be so much fun!

Can you tell I’m excited?
OTHER DATES FOR YOUR DIARIES
I will be selling and signing books at the Indie Author Book Fair at lovely Barwon Heads on Sunday January 12. Click HERE for more information.
And one of my favourite events in the writers’ calendar is the Australian Romance Readers multi city book events - A Romantic Rendezvous. This year they will be in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. You will find me at the Melbourne Event. In a change from previous years there will be a morning of author panels followed by the signing in the afternoon. Tickets are on sale now. Click the button below for more information and booking.
IN OTHER NEWS
The audiobook for AGONY IN AMETHYST has been finalised. It takes a little while to get it up on the distributors (so far only KOBO has it live**) but, for a short time, you can buy it direct from me for $15 (compared to $20 on the commercial retailers).
By popular request, I have made a downloadable Character List of the entire series to keep handy while you are reading the books. Click HERE
If you are quick you may be able to pick up a copy of one of my favourite books, GATHER THE BONES for 99c/99p in the US and UK or it is available on Kindle Unlimited worldwide.
All for now!
Best wishes
Alison
** Kobo has a similar set up to Kindle Unlimited. For a subscription you can download ebooks and unlike KU, it also include audiobooks!
