Awards

Before I post the rest of the winners, I just want to say a huge CONGRATS to Cara Summers, Patricia Rosemoor and Liz Fielding who won a Career Achievement Award.

Best First Series Romance: Judith Raxten-Harlequin Everlasting- "The Secret Dreams of Emily Porter"

I wasn't there to accept the award. I don't even know if they announced my name since I couldn't attend. But I know I won because Carol Stacy of Romantic Times BOOKreview Magazine emailed me a few weeks ago.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog bash for an important announcement and a rousing SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!

Several of our authors made the list of this year's finalists for the 2008 RITA Awards®. The 2008 RITA honors romance fiction published in 2007, and over 1,000 novels and novellas were judged in 12 categories. Winners of the awards will be announced August 2nd at the RITA and Golden Heart Awards Ceremony to be held at RWA's Annual Conference in San Francisco, California.

Two of my books have been nominated for the same award!
