- About Me and My Book:
- I love delving into the pages of history as I carry out research for my historical novels. My novels are inspired by true events. My favourite era is the 1st World War, and in the course of my research I have visited the battlefields of France and Belgium. A truly poignant experience.
I am married with three sons and have a little grand daughter.
My two publishers are The Wild Rose Press and Whiskey Creek Press.
My three published novels from WCP are Devils Ridge set against a background of the 1st World War, and Savage Utopia, set in the 1830's and dealing with the transportation of convicts, innocent or otherwise, to the then penal colony of Australia. The sequel to Savage Utopia, is Stolen Birthright.
Holly and the Millionaire is my first published contemporary novel from The Wild Rose Press. It is set against the background of the war in Iraq, and reached No 12 on the Fictionwise Best Sellling Romance list. TWRP have published three other books from me, Cardinal Sin, set against the background of the Vietnam War, Shattered Dreams, set during the 1st World War, and The Trouble With Playboys, set against a background of the 2nd World War.

Christmas morning in Australia
It is a bright sunny Christmas morning here in Australia. I would just like to take this opportunity of wishing everyone a happy Christmas. Hope Santa left you something nice under the Christmas tree. Boo hoo, but my stocking was empty this year. Even the bribe of a can of beer didn't work, so I must have been very naughty this year.
I hope everyone has a happy, safe and prosperous New Year.
Cheers
Margaret Tanner

I would like to connect with you there also. I am trying to make more friends and fans so that I can spread awareness for breast cancer during pregnancy. I was diagnosed Stage 3 in the 5th month of my pregnancy in May. My status updates on Facebook and LinkedIn are usually about my fight.

It's taken me ages to comment on your message.
I'm hard at work on my novels in spite of rejections.
One from a London agent read; You write with strength and feeling. Some years ago I would have requested a full submission but am unable to do so in today's economic climate,
All the best,
Rosemary Morris
Are any of your boos in print or are they e-books? Just wondered as Mythica Publishing is now doing print as well as e-books and are currently open to submissions. Take a look at www.mythicapublishing.com if you're interested.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference
Where “can’t” is not in our vocabulary.

This is I think the largest book marketing site on ning (the largest I have fond anyway, and I am on 109 nings).
I wanted to say hi and let you know about the sales I am having at my website at the moment.
