Media:
I’ve got some happy news to share going into the new year.
I received an email from Linda Andrews, coordinator of the Valley of the Sun Romance Writers‘ “Hot Prospects” contest, informing me that my manuscript, Tempting Bella, won the historical category in the 2011 contest.
Both published and unpublished writers vied for the top spots in this contest. Katharine Pelz, of the Berkley Publishing Group, was the final round judge in my category.
My thanks to coordinator Linda Andrews and all of the judges for a well-run, professional contest. Congratulations to all of the finalists!
