Wordwatchers joins Facebook
October 12, 2011
Well, it had to happen eventually didn’t it? Wordwatchers now has a group page on Facebook. It’s currently open to everybody on Facebook (an estimated 700 million individuals) so this may change when we start getting 100s of requests per day (one can hope (or is that fear?)).
The members of Wordwatchers who are currently also on Facebook have been dragged in as the initial members, so I don’t look like billy-no-mates. Next part of the plan is to drag in the Alumni members (doesn’t Alumni sound much nicer than “ex”?) and then other authors I also know on Facebook.
After that, who knows, perhaps one big virtual writers love-in!
Find us here.
The Legacy goes from strength to strength
October 4, 2011
WordWatcher’s Alumni Katherine Webb is continuing to enjoy international success with The Legacy‘s latest international release. Taken from Katherine’s Facebook page, her September 14th post says:
“Just had the most amazing news that The Legacy (aka Das Geheime Vermachtnis) has sold 70,000 copies in its first two weeks of release in Germany! Absolutely fantastic – thank you so much, German readers!”
Congratulations Katherine!

Charlotte’s done it again – she’s got herself short-listed for another award. The Apothecary’s Daughter is up for Choc Lit Best Historical Read Award, for novels of any romance genre set prior to 1961.
As Charlotte states on her web site:
The winners will be announced at the Festival of Romance Have A Heart Ball and Awards on Saturday 22 October, along with the Festival of Romance New Talent Award to recognise writers of great talent who have not yet been commercially published.
The Festival of Romance takes place on 21st and 22nd October at Hunton Park in Hertfordshire. Supported by over 30 authors and six publishers, the literary event is a celebration of the romantic fiction genre for readers, with chocolate and cupcakes alongside literary debate.
