Exciting News . . .
Yes . . . I received very good news last evening. A phone call informing me that SPINNING FORWARD is a finalist for the New England Reader's Choice Bean Pot Award given out by the New England Chapter of Romance Writers of America.
My novel is a finalist in the Long Contemporary category and I was told that I'd receive 1st, 2nd or 3rd prize. The entries were read and scored by librarians, book sellers and readers and the award presentations will be at a dinner Friday night, March 26, as part of the RWA Chapter Conference at the Sheraton Tara, Framingham, Massachusetts.
I have a lot going on, but I'm going to attempt to make a quick trip up there for the dinner and award presentations.
Needless to say, I'm very excited that my novel was chosen and I wanted to share the news here with all of you.
See you here next time..................

Sorry I have been so scarce...Lots going on here and I'm just trying to keep my head above water, as they say....I hope the things going on there are some good things, my dear. I know there are some challening things, too.....You are a very strong woman and hopefully you can and will meet all those challenges with 'vigor', as Roosevelt used to say. I send you BIG BIG (((((((HUGS))))))), my dear!
