Wayne and I are flying out to Washington, D.C. and will be away ten days.  While I attend the annual Romance Writers of America National conference, Wayne and our Florida friend, Gary Roche, will be touring Civil War battlefields in Virginia. 

I’m up for a RITA Award (romance writer’s equivalent to the Oscar) in the Contemporary Single Title category for my book TWENTY WISHES.  My fellow nominees include Jean Marie Pierson, Rachel Gibson, Samantha Graves, Susan Wiggs, Susan Mallery, Jane Graves, and Elise Chidley.  If you’d like to check out the finalists in the other categories, here is a link: http://www.rwanational.org/cs/2009RITA_Finalists#CST.  Good Luck to us all!

The awards ceremony is Saturday, July 18.  I’ll try to post results on Monday!
