Acknowledgements
I’d like to thank my agent, Judith Murdoch, for all her endeavours on my behalf over the years, though I am happy to say that, despite occasionally performing miracles, she bears no other resemblance to the Miracle of the book.
Foreword
Originally published by Severn House in 2008 under the title Happy Endings, this is one of my earliest romantic comedies. It’s been long out of print and difficult to get hold of, so I’m delighted that Transworld has released this new edition, now titled Written from the Heart.
It features Tina Devino, a moderately successful author who aspires to bestsellerdom. As do her clients, because Tina is also a literary consultant, who uses her own experience to advise other would-be authors. With her love life as precarious as her writing career, can she ever create her own happy ending?
I haven’t rewritten it, merely tweaked and polished a little here and there, so since it was created on the cusp of the new century it’s obviously very much of its time, especially with regard to mobile phones and computers. It’s amazing how things have changed in such a short space of time, but back then they were a luxury, rather than the norm.
Happy reading, everyone!
