Things no one tells you about romance readers

This weekend just gone, I attended the Australian Romance Readers Convention (ARRC) in Canberra. It was my first time going, and I had a really good time. Not least because I got to meet some authors and bloggers I've long admired in person! 

So I wrote a summary of the Convention for Daily Life:

Remembering 'Heartbreak High'

Tickling some serious 90s nostalgia:

I got to write about Heartbreak High for DailyLife - a show that set standard for youth and diverse programming in Australia. 

It was shows like these and so many more that the ABC and SBS are currently creating, that make those budget cuts all the more saddening and maddening.
