Happy Spring everyone!
I'm loving the lighter starts to the day and seeing all the flowers coming out - definitely puts a bounce in my step. But for those of you in the northern hemisphere, Autumn pretty much rocks too - very beautiful.
I had the most fantastic time at the RWNZ conference - the most amazing speakers and vibe and general all around fun time. Feeling very inspired and motivated. This is a good thing because I have a deadline before the end of the month!
Ok, so Unbuttoned by her Maverick Boss is out on the shelves now in Australia & New Zealand.
Also available now in the US is my Christmas Novella, The Millionaire's Mistletoe Mistress - this is out with stories by Carole Mortimer and fellow Kiwi Alison Roberts. The anothology is titled TIS THE SEASON and you can get a copy now from here. (Just a note, this was titled CHRISTMAS WITH THE BOSS in the UK & Aust/NZ - but it's the same book).
In big new (for me) my old laptop died - which meant I lost lots of useful things (fortunately not any half written books) - so I've had to go back through and update my reader lists and all that - and finally gotten organised to get my newsletter database sorted. So if you want to sign up for my newsletter - which comes out once a month (never more, occasionally less) and includes exclusive competitions, excerpts, general chat and other fun stuff, then fill in the form in the column to the right!
I've also joined Twitter as @authornataliea
and I have a page on Facebook - Natalie Anderson, Romance Author. (There are a lot of Natalie Andersons in the world, including a leading London actress, hence the 'author' handle on my IDs).
Again, there'll be special stuff on the FB page, just for you guys - once I've finished this latest book ;)
Meanwhile, have a great couple of weeks and I'll be back in touch again soon!
With very best wishes,
August 2010 - part two!
Okay, so here's the book news for this month.
To Love, Honor & Disobey is out in the US now.
Caught on Camera with the CEO is on the shelves in Australia.
Also, Unbuttoned by her Maverick Boss is available direct from Mills & Boon Australia (search for it under the 'Sexy' series).
Coming up later in the year, my Christmas Novella will be out in the US - it's together with stories by Carole Mortimer and Alison Roberts and for the US is titled, 'TIS THE SEASON - you can pre-order a copy here!
Meanwhile, I'm thrilled to report that my fifteenth story for Mills & Boon has been accepted! As you may know already, in the UK the Modern Heat series is getting new covers, titles and even a new name from next year. So in the UK only we'll be known as RIVA. At this stage, we'll still be Presents Extra in the US, and Sexy in Australia.
So, I have a title for book number 14:
WALK ON THE WILD SIDE - will be out in the UK in February 2011 - and is about one extreme pro snowboarder, Jack, who likes to live his life literally jumping off the edge... Kelsi, is his one edge too far...
Number 15, title to be confirmed, is out in the UK April 2011 and features one of my most favourite heroines to date - complicated, razor-edged, funny Penny. Fortunately, she gets to meet Carter, an all-caps, to-die for, HERO!!!
So it's been a pretty busy time around here and as my next story is due next month, it's time to slink back into the woodwork and crack on with it.
Meantime, I hope all you writers out there targeting Mills & Boon are going to enter the New Voices competition - find out all about it here. It is such an exciting, innovative (almost X-factor-esque) competition and you have the chance to work with superb author,editor mentors!!! So get working on your entry NOW!!!
I hope you see some of you soon at the Romance Writers of New Zealand Conference!
And don't forget to come and visit me on my upcoming blog stops - free books are on offer! (Blog dates and details just below!)
With very best wishes,
August 2010 - part one!
I'll be back with more of an update in a few days, but I just wanted to let you know I'm blogging about a bit this week.
Come and say hi to me here:
We've got some amazing speaks coming - Christopher Vogler, Stephenie Laurens, Nalini Singh, Jane Porter, agent Laura Bradford, Harelquin editor Dianne Moggy, Grand Central editor Alex Logan and more!
I'm presenting a workshop titled "Putting the 'izzle' in Sizzle" - about crafting those emotional, sensual scenes! It's going to be fun so be there!!!
More in a bit,

Lots of book things happening this month with releases in the US, UK and Australia & New Zealand - and several more around the place - I've included some cute cover pics for fun :)
In the US:
In the UK:
In Australia/New Zealand:
Meanwhile, I'm hard at work on my next story and planning for the ones beyond that - got to say I LOVE brainstorming!
Also, I was featured in my university's latest alumni magazine. You can read it online - go here and I'm on pages 38/39.
I hope you're all well and happy and getting some time to enjoy some wonderful romance!
With very best wishes,
June 2010
So winter has arrived - and boy has it arrived here in New Zealand! It's freezing today and it has been raining and snowing a ton. Fortunately, I've got the fire going and have been making pots of soup and fresh bread - yum!
Anyway, a quick update from me this month - firstly, my all time fave hero is out in the UK! (I know we're not supposed to admit to favourites, but let me just this once).
Lorenzo is the hero in Unbuttoned by her Maverick Boss which is now available direct from M&B UK and will be on the shelves there next month.
He had been patiently waiting at the back of my brain for almost a year and so when I finally got to writing his story down it simply poured out. He's a rogue but he's also intensely vulnerable - and does everything he can to hide that (even from himself). I really enjoyed putting Sophy in his life to mess it all up!
Here's the blurb:
Office gossip...
It's well known that rugged tycoon Lorenzo Hall comes from the wrong side of the tracks, and that opposites attract... Apparently one glimpse of his pristine new assistant Sophy Braithwaite had Lorenzo itching to undress her - we wonder if she's as prim and proper as she looks!
Of course, to Sophy, her smouldering boss should be off-limits, but it's easy to see how Lorenzo's criminally hot body and the dangerous twinkle in his eyes could tempt her to break all the rules...
And of course his best friend and partner in crime Alex, who got Caught on Camera, is on the shelves in the UK now!
I'm still mainly in lurk mode online and working hard. My 14th M&B has sold and will be out next year (deets later) and I'm eyeball deep into the wonderful challenge that will hopefully be my 15th :)
Meantime, I do hope those of you in the UK pick up the Hot Under the Collar duet featuring Alex and Lorenzo and enjoy their delicious wickness!!!
Best wishes,
May 2010
Hello everyone!
Yes I'm still in deep lurk and working very hard. Just popping up to let you know Hot Boss Boardroom Mistress is now on the shelves in the US - I hope you enjoy it!
Also, the first of my Hot under the Collar: Naughty nights with the boss duet is available now from the Mills & Boon UK. It went onsale overnight and I got up this morning to an email from a reader who'd already bought and read it and loved it!!! I couldn't believe it. And trust me when I say how much an author appreciates getting an email like that - especially one drowning in revisions as I am!!!
Anyway, here's the blurb for Alex's story Caught on Camera with the CEO:
TO: All Staff - Is this the hottest kiss you've ever seen?
Finally our playboy boss plays around at work!
Heart-throb Alex has recently been spotted prowling the office floor - is brunette bombshell Dani Russo the reason? From this sizzling encounter, we think so!
Now Dani's lost her job, and the office grapevine says our bad-boy boss has moved her into his bachelor pad and found her a job - but is an X-rated replay on the cards?! Watch this space...
I really hope you enjoy these books!
Best wishes,
April 2010
I hope everyone out there is all well and happy! I'm in deep 'lurk' mode at the moment as I'm very hard at working on my next book - so forgive the minimal chat this month!
As far as current releases go, Hot Boss Boardroom Mistress is now available direct from Harlequin in the US either in paper or ebook form. It will be on the shelves there in May. This one got a fab 4 stars from the Romantic Times and they said:
Sizzling chemistry in the boardroom and well-developed characters make this a winner.
To Love Honour and Disobey is now on the shelves in Australia and New Zealand. One reader over at the Mills & Boon UK site had this to say about it:
Another first-class offering from Natalie Anderson. As always, a compelling and satisfying read. Complex and wholly believable characters forced to overcome their insecurities and the damage of their pasts to find happiness together. And no one writes about physical passion as Anderson does. A class act all round.
This one will be out in the US in August!
I hope you all have a happy Easter break!
Best wishes,
March 2010
March is here! Which means Spring has sprung if you're on that side of the world, while Autumn has 'officially' arrived in my neck of the woods. Although actually it feels more like summer has finally arrived - yay!
March means To Love, Honour and Disobey is available from Harlequin Australia - its also available as an ebook there which is exciting. And as I write this, its number ONE in the Top 10 Books - which is lovely.
I've got a post up at I (Heart) Presents - talking about favourite nationalities for heroes - come and vote!
I'm launching into a new book at the moment and really need to get my head down and get on with it! I hope you are all well and happy! Keep an eye on my blog for more updates soon!
Best wishes,
February 2010
I know - I'm shockingly late with this month's update! So let's make it quick - I've been busy working, plotting new stories while getting the kids all back to school etc. It has been super busy and summer has also finally arrived.
I did an interview on breakfast TV in late Feb - you can watch it here!
And I was also in one of our weekly women's mags - check out the cover. In the teeny tiny box down the bottom of the page, there's me - NOT the one in the black bikini, but the pink top ;) I figure its the only time in my life I'll ever be on a cover - especially with Brangelina and Prince William for company - what a laugh!
January - extra update!
I'm back again with some very exciting news - I'm beyond thrilled to be able to tell you that
Ruthless Boss, Royal Mistress hit
the USA TODAY Bestseller list for the week ending 3 Jan 2010!!!
This is a huge deal to me and I am very excited - it's such a buzz to see my name on a list with some absolutely amazing authors - I still can't believe it!!!
Thank you to all of you who bought this book - I hope you enjoyed it.
Anyway, I best get back to business and finish the next story before that fiendish deadline strikes!
PS: EDITED TO ADD:
In my excitement I forgot that I've just received my copies of To Love, Honour & Disobey - so to celebrate the USA TODAY listing, I'll run a spontaneous competition now - leave a comment on my blog or email me to be in to win a signed copy of both To Love, Honour & Disobey AND the bestselling Ruthless Boss, Royal Mistress!
Thanks again,
January 2010
Happy New Year!!!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and happy times with loved ones. December was frantic for me - as I'm sure it was for all of you - and I forgot to load my update here but you can catch it on my blog. Did you make New Year resolutions? I set myself a few goals but not resolutions as such.
It's summer here in New Zealand and we've been having fun camping with the kids. Okay, we cheated a bit by camping on my mother's property and then my brother in laws - but it was still fun!
In book news, Ruthless Boss Royal Mistress is on the shelves in the USA at the moment and has hit the Waldenbooks bestseller charts! I hope you enjoy Liss and James' story.
If you're in the UK you can get To Love, Honour and Disobey direct from Mills & Boon or Amazon and it'll be on store shelves in February. Here's the blurb:
With this ring...
Ana couldn't believe her luck when irresistibly sexy Sebastian Rentoul proposed. Seb made Ana feel less like a gangly, awkward beanpole and more like a stunning, desirable supermodel. Until she realised that being Mrs Rentoul didn't mean she had her husband's love...
I thee bed!
Now Ana's issued divorce papers and is getting on with her life. But Seb, fascinated more than ever by his reluctant bride, decides to make sure she fully understands how much pleasure she'll be missing out on...
And if you're in Australia or New Zealand, Hot Boss, Boardroom Mistress is available direct from M&B Australia now and will be on the shelves also in February.
I'm back at the coal face, typing word after word to meet my next deadline - must get back to it pronto infact because it is sneaking up that little bit too quickly!
I hope you are all well and happy!!!
With very best wishes
