12 Tropes of Christmas – Finalist for Favourite Anthology of 2024
This week I was so excited to learn that I’m a finalist in the upcoming Australian Romance Readers Awards, along with my fellow authors in the 12 Tropes of Christmas anthology. This award, run by the Australian Romance Readers Association, is in the Favourite Anthology category for 2024. In other words, it was selected and voted for my readers. That’s my absolute, one hundred percent certified fresh and fav type of award! The full list of award finalists are listed on the ARRA blog.
The authors in this anthology were a joy to work with and it was fun to be involved. Hopefully the awards dinner coming up on 28th March in Melbourne will be equally fun. I figure if there’s a chance to dress up, drink champagne and chat books with like-minded readers, I’ll have a ball.

. . . and me (Cassandra O’Leary!)
Note: 12 Tropes of Christmas is no longer available to purchase, as it was intended as a short term project. However, my story in the collection, Girl in the Snow, will be published as a separate ebook soon (once I’ve got a cover designed, and maybe written a little epilogue). Look out for news about this here and on social media.
A Romantic Rendezvous – 29th March 2025, Melbourne
I’ll also be participating in A Romantic Rendezvous in Melbourne. The RomCom author panel in the morning should be lots of laughs, plus the author signing is a stand-alone event open to all readers. I will have a limited number of signed books available, if you want to come along and purchase one or more!
