Luke Won!!!

I'm so excited to announce that Absolution has won the EPIC Award for best romantic suspense of 2011!

I actually found out by accident while I was on holiday. I happened to be on Twitter, checking to see if I had any messages, and saw my name mentioned with the EPIC convention. No one sent me an email or anything, so I had to check on my own to see if I really had won, and indeed I had! I had a mojito to celebrate at dinner that night :)

You all know how much I adore Luke, so this win really tickled me. I think it's my best book (along with Relentless), although I heartily agree it's not a stand alone book. Without reading at least a few other books in the series, Absolution won't have nearly the same emotional impact for the reader. At least in my opinion.

I also just found out that Deadly Descent is a finalist in the New England Romance Writer's published contest, though it didn't final in the RITA Awards (aww...). Fingers crossed that Dev and Cam place in the top three.

That's my news for now; I'll post the cover for Darkest Caress next week. Have a great weekend!

Anne OK That's great news, Kaylea! Congrats to you and Luke, who certainly earned his status as a top-ten-all-time-hero on my list.

I was just sick when "Deadly Descent" didn't appear in the RITA nominations. For me (and a lot of other reading buddies) it was one of the best releases of 2011. It kept me spellbound. I can't wait for the next one!

Kaylea Cross Anne, thanks so much! You know, being a finalist in the RITAs is a pipedream of mine. Hopefully one day I will!

Baba, lol! I am so tickled that you love Luke as much as I do :) I hope all is well in beautiful Switzerland.

Baba  Oh yes, all is well in beautiful Switzerland. And I hope all is well in beautiful Canada too!!

I have a request. I need another older and incredibly hot guy like Luke!! Will you create another one, please!?!


message 5: by Kaylea (new)

Kaylea Cross I just might :) Not sure whether he'll be a Kaylea or a Callie character though.
