AN INCONVENIENT MARRIAGE Won the Golden Heart!

I'm thrilled to announce that my first manuscript, ONE NIGHT TO SEDUCTION (originally titled AN INCONVENIENT MARRIAGE), won the Romance Writers of America 2009 Golden Heart® award for best unpublished manuscript in the Regency Historical category! The award was announced at the RWA National Convention in Washington, D.C. on July 18. I had a wonderful time at the convention, and I really enjoyed the workshops, keynote speeches, drinks, and all of the other fun activities the conference had to offer. Most importantly, I loved meeting all of the other wonderful nominees. But now, the conference is over, and it's time to get back to writing the next book!

Thanks again for all the support I've received on this road to writerdom -- I could not have gotten this far without knowing that so many people are in my corner.
