This has happened much sooner than I thought it would – I\u2019ve had 100 business cards printed declaring myself a writer of contemporary romance. I\u2019m excited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It says it on a business card, so it must be true<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to the Romance Writers of Australia conference<\/a> in a couple of weeks time, and while there I\u2019ll be pitching my first novel, Somewhere In Between<\/a>, to three publishers. Rather than float in, waffle on for seven minutes about my book, and float out again, it feels wise to give the publisher’s representative a business card before I wander off. On the outside chance they want to speak with me again, it\u2019s better that my name and email is on a professional looking card, rather than a scrap of paper. Also, writers exchange business cards at conferences, so I\u2019ll need something, other than the aforementioned scrap of paper, to swap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the business card was born. It was a tricky balance between a romance design and something not too feminine, after all I am still a man of the male variety. I plumped for a black and white floral pattern and looks effective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
