I’ve been buried in the writing cave for the past couple of weeks, working furiously on revisions and a new proposal. but I had to pop in and share some great news. I’ve just been informed that The Satin Sash finaled in the 2010 Booksellers’ Best Award contest – twice!

That’s right! In both the Erotic Romance category, as well as in the Best first Book category. I’m so excited to see some other great names in this list as well! Congratulations to all the finalists!

Now, the winners of this contest – hosted by the Greater Detroit RWA chapter – will be announced at the Romance Writers of America National Conference in Orlando in July. I wasn’t still sure whether I’d be able to attend but now I’m really scrambling to be able to go!
