2018 RITA Finalists Announced This Week!

This week is a big one for all us romance writers. The Romance Writers of America announce their finalists for the 2018 RITA award on Wednesday, March 21st, and those finalists move on to the last round of judging, which concludes in July. Very exciting, folks! It’s the highest award granted in romance and highlights the best of the best. Several genres of romance are covered: contemporary, historical, suspense, young adult, and so on. As you might already know, this is my second year entering, and so it’s always a very nail-biting morning when those calls and emails start pouring in to the winners. The competition is stiff with 2000 entries, and only about 4% of authors place, but it’s still thrilling to think “what if.” That being said, my next post will either be very ecstatic as I share great news or very philosophical (no, really!) as I share my time-honored tradition of envisioning Schrodinger’s Cat (read 2017 blog entry). Whichever outcome, I hope you’ll stop by next week to find out.
​

Also, in honor of spring, I did a little spring cleaning on my author website and spruced up the place a bit. I restructured the layout and got my hands on some really fetching fonts! I’m particularly excited about the individual “Watermark” and “Clingstone” web pages. I used my couples as the background for the blog reviews my books have received over the last couple of years, and I gotta say, it turned out great! Unfortunately, the full effect doesn’t translate as well on mobile devices—you can’t see my couples as well—so if you’ve got a free moment, check out my website updates on a laptop or tablet to see the new design. May you be dazzled and awestruck! Or something aptly in between is also fine. Happy spring!
