Susan Stephens' Writing Diary

And first I want to say thank you to all my wonderful readers and friends who have continued to mail while I've been away- researching on a sun bed in Sardinia.

And yes, I have some exciting ideas whirling round my head... I've spent a week on a fabulous Italian island where the people always seem to have a smile on their face and the food is so wonderful, that even the description , size woolly mammoth doesn't do me full justice now! How could I not come away with some exciting thoughts?!
(And if you'd had the young man serving you at dinner each night I had, you'd be steaming too, believe me!!)

In Sardinia they have an after dinner drink called Merto... which tastes something like a cross between chocolate and cherry, and is yummy scrum to the max... It's made from Myrtle, and the proper way to serve it is to freeze a myrtle leaf in a glass of water and float the 'Merto' on top. This, ladies is a totally historic beverage- and may require my return to Sardinia at some time in the near future to sample some more!!!

I can't wait to weave the food, the sunshine, and those sexy, dark-eyed Italian men into a new Presents story just for you... will keep you posted!

Love to all, and happy reading!
Susan
