Where to start...where to start. So much NEWS!
Shall we start with the beverage and the TimTam (always a first-rate place to start)? I'll wait...
Mmm, Double coat. Excellent choice. :)
Okey doke, hold onto your hat--here comes the news!
*First up, big congrats to Bec Sampson (aka Becca J Heath) who currently has a new finals award in her clever fingers. She has taken out third place (Contemporary Series Romance) in the Toronto Romance Writer's Catherine Award for 2011, with A FUTURE FOR ABBY. Nice one, Bec!
Check out Bec's blog, too. She's got a cool conference wrap-up there. While you're hitting the keys, take a look at the RWA blog on the Awards Night.
*In other contest news, Virginia Taylor has been scooping the pool over in the west. Take a look at these excellent results for her books STARLING, ELLA & BREE:
STARLING, historical finalist in the New Jersey Romance Writers Put Your Heart in a Book.
