Finally....a post!

Ok, so I haven't been great at keeping this blog up to date. In fact it I have done a rotten job. But life gets in the way folks, so what can I say, sorry (and that goes to my fellow Bootcampers as well).  So am getting back to butt kicking action (well let's hope!)

What's happening with the 101 Bootcampers?

• Well Alison, Dana, and Nikki have been all busy organising the next round of Bootcamps for the Romance Writers of Australia. The Bootcamp 109 (for beginners) and the Bootcamp 209 (intermediate). And they and Rachel have worked really hard to bring a great program for everyone. I'm sure the participants are going to love it.
  

• Nikki, Rachel and Melissa are busy working on their books.
  

• Nikki and I have finalled in the Great Expectations contest run by the North Texas Romance Writers of America contest (in different categories).  Yay us!
  

• Tracey and Alison are busy with competition entries.
  

• Anne has done a great job at becoming our new chat mum and we've had a great chat on dialogue. (I love our chats!)
  

And everyone is busy working on their manuscripts.

So that's us, what have you been up to?

What Our Bootcampers write.... Alison and Jacqueline

Alison

Alison Leake writes paranormal historical romance. She loves the distance of history, the magic of paranormal and the freedom of the fantasy worlds she creates. She likes big juicy plots, heroes with dark tormented souls and heroines with soft hearts made just for her heroes. Her current hero is a vampire who would sell his soul, if he had one, to be as human  as the girl he loves. And he just happens to look a lot like this gorgeous fellow *g*

Jacqueline

Jacqueline started writing plays as a kid and she and her friends acted them out on the homestead verandah. Later, writing poetry released emotion and temporarily satisfied the muse. A serious writing apprenticeship commenced with joining the Romance Writers of Australia Inc. She writes category romance and has received positive comments on submissions, one request for full manuscript (turned down) and has several manuscripts in the pipeline. She also writes mainstream and has a First World War manuscript, fiction based on fact, being assessed by an agent. This was the one requested at the last RWA Conference. Jacqueline also has a portfolio of War poems and others in her personal collection.
