So – here I am in New York City: The Big Apple, The City That Never Sleeps.<\/p>\n

Wow!<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>
New York - WOW!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ve only been here a day and a half and my head is spinning a bit. <\/p>\n

Webmaster John and I have a tiny shoebox of an apartment not far from the UN building. We share the street with diplomatic missions from several small African countries, a literary agent and lots of bars, restaurants and shops.<\/p>\n

In case of emergencies, there’s a plastic surgeon two doors down and it’s only a short stroll to Bloomingdales.<\/p>\n

I’ve already found a Barnes and Noble bookshop and the nearest branch of the NY Public Library.<\/p>\n

Did I mention it’s only a fifteen minute walk to Fifth Avenue… one of these mornings I shall do an Audrey Hepburn – and take a croissant and cup of coffee (well – tea) for breakfast at Tiffany’s.<\/p>\n

I’m already planning to go to hear fellow LBD author Janet Mullany <\/a>do a reading at Lady Jane Salon<\/a> on October 4th\u00a0 – which will be my first meeting with romance writers on this side of the pond.<\/p>\n

I’ve really got no idea of what lies ahead – but it’s going to be fun finding out. I’ll be posting all about it here… so do come back soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
