And the finalists are...

The Romance Writers of America has released its list of finalists for the Rita (published author competition) and Golden Heart (unpublished author competition) awards for 2007. The winners are announced at RWA's annual convention, in a formal ceremony not unlike the Oscars. Congratulations to all the authors who made this list of the best of the best, especially my good friend Bronwyn Parry who finaled in the Golden Heart Best Romantic Suspense category!

In other news, today marks the inaugural post on the Passionate Prose blog, written by yours truly! It's a new blog created with the joint efforts of around fifteen erotic romance authors, and it promises to be a lot of fun. Check it out by clicking the banner below!
