  • Today was a fabulous day — at the RITA/Golden Heart Award Ceremony tonight, I won the Golden Heart in the Regency Historical category!

    This came as a huge shock, and my whole body was shaking for at least twenty minutes after the announcement. According to my friend Terry, who was my date to the event, I at least managed to sound coherent, so I consider that to be a great accomplishment. Obviously, I’m tremendously grateful for this honor, and I think it will still take a few days for it to sink in.

    I will blog again in the next couple of days with a recap of Nationals and, better yet, my plans for my next books. But, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have stumbled across this site — publishing is a wild ride, and it’s always easier when you have supportive people cheering you on.

    Picture below, but I need to sleep if I’m going to get up in time to have fun before my flight back to San Francisco!

  • I announced this on the website two weeks ago, but in the interest of picking up my blog again — AN INCONVENIENT MARRIAGE is a finalist in the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart® contest! The Golden Heart is given out every year for the best unpublished manuscripts across several romance subgenres, and I’m one of six finalists in the Regency Romance category.

    This is a huge boost to my confidence, even if it’s not a guarantee that I’ll sell my beloved book. I won’t find out whether it will win until the RWA national conference in July, but until then, I’m going to be revising (more on that another day) and submitting to agents like crazy.

    I’m also going to start blogging here again — no really, I promise this time! I’ve spent the last couple of weeks celebrating (and dealing with some craziness in the day job), so now it’s time to get back to business.
