RITA Nomination!

On Friday I had "the RITA call" with the wonderful news that One Wicked Sin had finalled in the Best Historical Romance category of the RITA. I am still absolutely over the moon and very proud to be nominated alongside so many authors whose writing I admire and whose books I love. Congratulations to all the fabulous finalists! The full list of nominations is here! And thank you to the many authors, readers and friends who have offered their congratulations. You are all lovely people!

The nomination has made me very happy. (You can probably tell that!) Whenever I read historical romance I am struck time and again by the quality of the writing of so many wonderful authors who create characters and build historical worlds that sweep me away. Simply to be in their company is awesome. One of the best things about this year's RITA nominations in the historical and Regency historical categories is that THREE of my fellow Word Wenches are on the lists, so as a special celebration of Wenchlandia I am offering a blog prize of all four Wenchly books:

The Forbidden Rose by Joanna Bourne, The Wicked Wyckerly by Patricia Rice, To Surrender to a Rogue by Cara Elliott plus One Wicked Sin!

To enter the blog contest simply tell me which talent of yours you have received a prize for – or which talent you would like to be recognised for (not too X-rated, please, this blog is read by my mother-in-law!!) Monty will select a winner on Wednesday! Good luck!
