RITA NOMINATION
I am so excited I can hardly think. Please celebrate with me. A TOUCH OF GRACE, book 2 in my Brothers' Bond series has been nominated for a RITA, the romance writers' 'academy award'.
After an eye appointment today, I was driving home when my cell phone rang. Thinking it was my husband reminding me to pick up some milk or something, I nearly fainted when the caller identified herself and said she was calling from Romance Writers of America. She said, "How are you today?" I replied, "I think I just got a whole lot better!" Then she went on to congratulate me as a finalist. I'm sure she thought I was an idiot. I alternately laughed, squealed, and asked if she was joking.
This is my first RITA final so I am extremely thrilled. Obviously. :-)
Cheers!
